Has the word "incurable" become obsolete since the advent of Christian Science? One reads in the Christian Science periodicals and hears at Wednesday testimony meetings in Christian Science churches many accounts of the healing of diseases formerly called incurable. Obviously it is no longer an accurate word.
A Christian Scientist never sees a problem as hopeless. When someone has been told that his disease, or perhaps an enslaving appetite, cannot be healed, and he struggles with the despair that results, what must it mean to him to learn that it is never too late for God's help! God's boundless love, cherishing His creation, is sufficient to meet every need.
The opening door to the discovery of Christian Science by Mrs. Eddy was her own recovery from an injury which her physician considered serious—a healing brought about through her study of the Scriptural record of a healing accomplished by Christ Jesus. Her liberation awakened so deep a conviction of God's power and willingness to preserve life that she confidently applied her understanding of the divine law of health and freedom to heal others.
