DETECTING AND DESTROYING DISEASE

From the January 1965 issue of The Christian Science Journal


In Christian Science healing we might point to two important aims—the detection of disease and the destruction of it. But from the fact of God's omnipresence and omnipotence and of man's real existence as God's eternal idea, Christian Science deduces that there is and can be no disease, no evil power or presence. How, then, are we to detect and destroy that which does not and cannot exist?

This Science leaves no point vaguely hinted at or unexplained. It instructs us in the art of detecting belief in disease, belief in the reality of the unreal, belief that nothing is something. That is why knowledge of what we are believing is essential in Christian Science, if we are to correct erroneous thought processes by understanding their unreality.

When we contemplate the maze of health and disease theories which are taught mortals as truth, we should be properly grateful to Mrs. Eddy for her system of Mind-science, by which people are being awakened to Jesus' spiritual method of detecting and destroying disease.
