All will agree that Truth dissolves and dispels error. The suggestion that some phase of human disorder, some disease, acute or chronic, is developing or is beyond control is a false claim without a degree of truth to sustain it. Through Christian Science all may enjoy proofs of God's power to heal—the power of Truth to destroy mortal error manifest in human suffering. Many students of Christian Science have been greatly blessed, courage has been renewed, and healing consummated, by adhering to our beloved Leader's inspired admonition on page 393 of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures": "Rise in the strength of Spirit to resist all that is unlike good. God has made man capable of this, and nothing can vitiate the ability and power divinely bestowed on man."
Scientifically true thoughts meet all human needs. Yet men have gone to extremes in search of material cures, in search of remedies for so-called physical and mental ills, not understanding that disease and discord have but an erroneous, fabulous existence, that they exist only in belief. Recurring failures of material remedies have turned many to seek a more certain way of meeting human needs. Christian Science illumines for mankind the way of Truth, the way to all good. It clearly proves the unreality of that which is not good or does not reflect God. It proves unreal that which does not contribute to one's true health, peace, and success.
We learn in Christian Science that disease is but an erroneous concept of spurious mortal mind, therefore subject to destruction, dissolution. God, divine Mind, the one cause, produces that only which is good and demonstrably true. Disease, being neither good nor true, is but a false belief of the carnal or mortal mind. There is in fact no intelligence, sensation, or disease in matter. That disease is mental is provable. Mrs. Eddy wrote in Science and Health (p. 270:) "If a sense of disease produces suffering and a sense of ease antidotes suffering, disease is mental, not material. Hence the fact that the human mind alone suffers, is sick, and that the divine Mind alone heals." As individual consciousness becomes spiritualized, the sick awake from mortal dreams; discordant beliefs of material sense disappear, and the harmonious realities of Spirit appear in health, success, harmony, and plenty. This awakening is very often instantaneous.
