SUBTITLE for above Question

  	Question. — Is it important to understand these ex-
  	planations in order to heal the sick? 
15	Answer. — It is, since Christ is "the way" and the
  	truth casting out all error. Jesus called himself "the
  	Son of man," but not the son of Joseph. As	                                  Sonship
18	woman is but a species of the genera, he was	                          of Jesus 
  	literally the Son of Man. Jesus was the highest human
  	concept of the perfect man. He was inseparable from
21	Christ, the Messiah, — the divine idea of God outside
  	the flesh. This enabled Jesus to demonstrate his con-
  	trol over matter. Angels announced to the Wisemen of
24	old this dual appearing, and angels whisper it, through
  	faith, to the hungering heart in every age. 
  	    Sickness is part of the error which Truth casts out. 
27	Error will not expel error. Christian Science is the law
  	of Truth, which heals the sick on the basis	                                     Sickness
  	of the one Mind or God. It can heal in no	                                     erroneous 
30	other way, since the human, mortal mind so-called is not
        a healer, but causes the belief in disease.  
1	    Then comes the question, how do drugs, hygiene, and
  	animal magnetism heal? It may be affirmed that they
 3	do... not heal, but only relieve suffering tempo-	                                     True healing
  	rarily, exchanging one disease for another. 	                                     transcendent 
  	We classify disease as error, which nothing but Truth or
 6	Mind can heal, and this Mind must be divine, not human. 
  	Mind transcends all other power, and will ultimately su-
  	persede all other means in healing. In order to heal by
 9	Science, you must not be ignorant of the moral and spir-
  	itual demands of Science nor disobey them. Moral igno-
  	rance or sin affects your demonstration, and hinders its
12	approach to the standard in Christian Science. 
  	    After the author's sacred discovery, she affixed the
  	name "Science" to Christianity, the name "error" to
15	corporeal sense, and the name "substance" to	                               Terms
  	Mind. Science has called the world to battle	                                       adopted by
  	over this issue and its demonstration, which	                                       the author 
18	heals the sick, destroys error, and reveals the universal
  	harmony. To those natural Christian Scientists, the an-
  	cient worthies, and to Christ Jesus, God certainly revealed
21	the spirit of Christian Science, if not the absolute letter. 
  	    Because the Science of Mind seems to bring into dis-
  	honor the ordinary scientific schools, which wrestle with
24	material observations alone, this Science has	                               Science
  	met with opposition; but if any system honors	                               the way 
  	God, it ought to receive aid, not opposition, from all think-
27	ing persons. And Christian Science does honor God as
  	no other theory honors Him, and it does this in the way
  	of His appointing, by doing many wonderful works
30	through the divine name and nature. One must fulfil
  	one's mission without timidity or dissimulation, for to be
  	well done, the work must be done unselfishly. Christianity
 1	will never be based on a divine Principle and so found to
  	be unerring, until its absolute Science is reached. When
 3	this is accomplished, neither pride, prejudice, bigotry,
  	nor envy can wash away its foundation, for it is built upon
  	the rock, Christ.
