Love, joyous gratitude, confidence, and scientific knowledge concur in a Christian Science treatment, or prayer. Scientific knowledge declares that divine Love creates, governs, and maintains its creation in perfect likeness to itself. Man, reflecting God's knowledge, trusts the divine power, and therefore he knows safety and security. He does not know the lie of materialism, hence he is fearless. Christian Science treatment establishes this scientific state of thought and eliminates disease, sin, and fear from human consciousness.
There may be various approaches to the same problem; but no method of solving it is correct which deviates in the slightest from the commands in the Bible and from the rules laid down in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy.
Christian Science treatment rests upon the truth that divine intelligence is all power, therefore there is no power in ignorance. The so-called mortal mind is ignorant personal sense, which claims that matter is intelligent. This claim is the prolific source of suffering. Conversely, the recognition of, and response to, the infinite intelligence and power of the one and only Mind produce health, harmony, freedom, and abundant good. This glorious truth is demonstrated through Christian Science treatment, which not only heals disease, but through its spiritually liberating power brings forth the evidence of spiritual progress in the individual. The Christian Science treatment recognizes that man, who reflects Mind, includes all that there is in Mind. Since fear, evil, pain, disease, and limitation are not in Mind, they are not in man. Through treatment Truth expels from consciousness that which is fearful, material, unreal, and unloving and thereby liberates both mind and body from self-imposed bondage.
