One who is working for a healing wants evidence that healing is taking place. Christian Science is the law of God which reveals our right to such evidence. This Science establishes the truth of perfect God and perfect man as the truth of our present being. It uncovers the falsity of disease and shows the permanent nature of health.
Health is not in matter. A material body is not the possessor of health, nor can it be sick. We say "I feel well" or "I feel sick." But it is not matter that speaks; it is mind. In Christian Science we call the mind that thinks of itself in terms of material body with material sensations and beliefs, mortal mind. But we learn through the study of this Science that there is really but one Mind, and that is God, Spirit. This divine Mind is the Soul of all true being. It radiates its own qualities throughout the universe. Mind's idea, man, reflects these qualities, one of which is health.
The true evidence of health, then, is in divine consciousness, or Mind. This consciousness includes no knowledge of a material body or of disease or of destructible health. Mind's evidence of health, therefore, is not in a change from disease to health; it is in its consciousness of its own perfect qualities. To Mind there is no other evidence.
