The divine elevator of the human race, physically, morally, and spiritually, is the truism that Truth demonstrates good, and is natural; while error, or evil, reproduces itself, and belongs not to nature nor to God. Truth is the power of God which heals the sick and sinner, and is applicable to all the needs of man. It is the universal, intelligent Christ, illustrated by the life of Jesus, through whose "stripes we are healed." By Truth's conflicts, defeats, and triumphs, Christian Science has been reduced to the understanding of mortals, and found able to heal mind and body.
Pagan mysticism, Grecian philosophy, or Jewish religion, never entered into the line of Jesus' thought or action. His faith partook not of drugs, matter, nor mortal mind. The Divine Mind was his only instrumentality and potency, in religion or medicine. The Principle of his cure was God, in the laws of Spirit, not of matter; and these laws annulled all other laws.
Jesus knew that erring mortal thought holds only in itself the supposition of evil, and that sin, sickness, and death are its subjective states; also, that pure Mind is the Truth of Being, that subjugates and destroys any suppositional or elementary opposite to Him who is All.
