"FAITH CURE" ANSWERED

From the June 1885 issue of The Christian Science Journal


A clergyman writes: Are not "faith-cure" and Christian Science one and the same in process and result?

Christian Science is not what is called "faith-cure:" we have the science of those cures. It is not mere faith or belief in God, but its rules are demonstrated according to understanding of Him.

M.D.'s can inspire patients with faith in bread pills, and cure as remarkable cases as the "faith-cure doctors." We respect their Christian motives, but prefer Science that can be proved with mathematical precision, rather than blind faith in what we do not understand.
