Advantage of Mind-Healing

From the August 1886 issue of The Christian Science Journal

This article was later republished in Miscellaneous Writings 1883-1896: Mis. 33:21-34:9 and Mis. 255:17-256:5


It is sometimes asked: What are the advantages of your system of healing?

I claim for healing by Christian Science the following advantages: 1. It does away with material medicine, and recognizes the fact that the antidote for sickness, as well as sin, may be found in Mind. 2. It is more effectual than drugs, and cures where they fail,—thus proving that Metaphysics is above physics. 3. Persons who have been healed by Christian Science are not only cured of their belief in disease, but they are improved morally at the same time. The body is governed by Mind, and Mind must be improved before it can really govern the body harmoniously.A correction was made in the September 1886 Journal: "On page 115 of our last issue, in article 'Advantage of Mind-Healing,' for 'Mind must be improved,' read, mind (mortal) must be improved."
