CONSECRATION

From the December 1930 issue of The Christian Science Journal


IT has been said that the existence of the Christian movement is the best evidence that Jesus arose from the dead, for this movement was based on his resurrection. Thus, when his disciples chose an apostle to succeed Judas, they ordained Matthias to be a witness with the loyal eleven of the Master's resurrection. See Acts 1:15, 21, 22, 26. With equal propriety, it can be said that the existence of the Christian Science movement is the best evidence of Christian Science healing, for this movement always has been based on its healing, and every Christian Scientist is a witness thereof.

The following excerpts are from an address by the Reverend Samuel McComb, rector of Emmanuel Church (Episcopal) of Boston, in the Guild of Health Review (London) for last August:

"In America one of the great reasons why the work with which I have been identified was started was that we discovered that there were a great number of people haunting all our churches who believed that in religion there was a power to heal them and to give them health of body and mind if only that power could be clearly seen and applied.
