It has recently been truly said that as to the healing works of Christian Science the burden of proof does not belong to Christian Science, but to its opponents.
It has come to pass that most of the opponents of Christian Science no longer care to assume that burden. They are more apt to admit the healing than to deny it. There are some who yet cling, with more or less tenacity, to the position—formerly quite generally held—that the Christian Science method of healing does relieve certain kinds of nervous troubles, etc., but that it is of no avail in organic or the varied phases of acute diseases. This class, however, is rapidly growing less.
While the majority, as above indicated, admit the healing, many of them are not yet ready to assent to the manner and cause of the healing. They yet dispute that there is any divine element therein. They yet doubt that the divine Mind—God—is the true healing power—the real Healer.
