  	    Is healing the sick the whole of Science? 

  	    Healing physical sickness is the smallest part of Chris-
24	tian Science. It is only the bugle-call to thought and
  	action, in the higher range of infinite goodness. The

  	do not love to be sick. Hence their comparative acqui-

  	flesh, from the flesh, — the material world and evil. 
  	    This Life, Truth, and Love — this trinity of good — was
 9	individualized, to the perception of mortal sense, in  the
  	man Jesus. His history is emphatic in our hearts, and it
  	lives more because of his spiritual than his physical healing.

  	of the masters in music and painting are to artists. 
  	    Genuine Christian Scientists will no more deviate mor-
15	ally from that divine digest of Science called the Sermon
  	on the Mount, than they will manipulate invalids, prescribe
  	drugs, or deny God. Jesus' healing was spiritual in its
18	nature, method, and design. He wrought the cure of
  	disease through the divine Mind, which gives all true
  	volition, impulse, and action; and destroys the mental
21	error made manifest physically, and establishes the oppo-
  	site manifestation of Truth upon the body in harmony
  	and health. SHOW ALL
