The names Mary Baker Eddy and Christian Science are indissolubly woven in the annals of history. To think of either of them is to think of healing.
Christian Science was ushered in with healing. Mrs. Eddy's own remarkable healing, wrought of God alone when she was suffering from serious injuries, resulted in the discovery of Christian Science. This healing, which occurred as the Scriptures were illumined, came so quietly, so gently, the world scarcely noticed. Later mankind was to marvel and to see the effects of her healing and teaching reach the corners of the earth.
The tremendous revelation of the allness of God and the scientific nothingness of mortal mind and matter—the powerlessness of evil to defeat God's holy purpose— had unfolded to her. This, she knew, was Christ's Science, God's unerring law, which is destined to lift the burden of mortality from the shoulders of mankind—the Science as almighty in demonstration as when Christ Jesus lived and proved its truths almost two thousand years ago.
