"CHRISTIAN SCIENCE rests on proof, not profession. It is not a theory, but a demonstrative system of healing, and it must be supported by proof of its power to heal. It is only in this way that the false Scientist and the true are discerned, and the people undeceived."— REV. MARY B. G. EDDY.
Christian Science has now become a household word. But its divine origin and true human exponent are only seen and known as the words and works of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, are acknowledged, and morally and spiritually lived, and therefore understood and demonstrated in the Christian way. This understanding comes when our life is so Christlike that Truth becomes in us scientific, in demonstration, and performs the works of Jesus, by casting out the false claims of sin, sickness, and even death— the last enemy— because they are contrary to the nature of God, who is Spirit and Truth, and cannot therefore falsify in the unity and demonstration of good. The Spiritual sense of Christianity and Science is then united in Principle, which is Love and Truth. "What God hath joined together, let not man put asunder," with the material claims of Christian Science, falsely so-called.
When lived and followed according to its demands, the Spiritual Principle of Christian Science will do the instantaneous healing of our Master and of our Teacher. One who is morally and spiritually worthy to speak the Word of the omnipresent, Mind and Spirit, and, at the same time, realizes Spiritual consciousness, will find that his patient has been instantaneously healed. This result is in accordance with the principle of conscious Truth, and is the true idea of Christian Science. Many such instances are known among true Christian Scientists. And even a call for Christian Science addressed to its fountain on this plane, has been known to be answered with immediate relief.
