My Dear Sir:—
You no doubt will remember our interview on the train, and our conversation afterwards at the hotel, on the subject of Christian Science. Since then I have given the matter special thought, and it is with the greatest faith and confidence that I take the liberty of renewing the subject, feeling assured that your wife can be permanently cured by Christian Science treatment.
There are so many so-called healers, who call themselves Christian Scientists, who are not true Scientists. They profess to heal by the exercise of the divine Mind while using the human will, and often use drugs or manipulation of the body; thus forming a copartnership under the firm name of Truth and error. There is no true, permanent healing, but by Mind. Mind is God. If God is Mind, and all in all, and omnipotent, he occupies all space at the same moment. Such being the fact, the mind which we call mortal, or the carnal mind, the mind that rules the human senses, prompting us to commit sin, must be unreal and non-existent; an illusion, a dream.
Error is the absence of Truth. Disease is caused by sin and fear, by the belief that matter, flesh, bones, and every other part of the human anatomy has feeling, life, sensation. It is the conscious and unconscious mortal mind that says, "I am sick;" and when thus expressed we believe it without a doubt, and thus believing, it becomes real to the human senses. "As a man thinketh so is he." To become permanently healed we must deny the power of mortal mind,— deny the existence of mortal mind because divine Mind is all; deny the power of the flesh, deny sin, error and sickness; declare without any reservation, that you are not sick, that the real man, created in the likeness of God cannot be sick. Divine Mind, Spirit, will uphold you in these denials. Fear and belief of sickness, will gradually disappear, and as you progress, you will become more and more spiritual. Belief of pain and sickness will succumb to spiritual thought, and to your great joy in time, you will realize the wonderful power of divine Mind. I would suggest that your wife procure a copy of Science And Health written and presented to the world by Rev. Mary B. G. Eddy. Read this wonderful book slowly, and understandingly, with a yearning to learn the Truth. Begin on the first page and read paragraph after paragraph; do not read it superficially. Call on Mrs. N—., and place your wife under her treatment, and in the end, you will hail with great joy the result. Let your wife have no thought of any former treatment, cast away all drugs, and avoid thinking of her disease. Have unlimited faith in God, divine Mind, and she will be healed.
