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 emphatic purpose of Christian Science is the healing of 27 sin; and this task, sometimes, may be harder than the Rudimental Divine Science by Mary Baker Eddy 3 1 cure of disease; because, while mortals love to sin, they do not love to be sick. Hence their comparative acqui- 3 escence in your endeavors to heal them of bodily ills, and their obstinate resistance to all efforts to save them from sin through Christ, spiritual Truth and Love, which 6 redeem them, and become their Saviour, through the 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. 12 His example is, to Christian Scientists, what the models 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, meth...od, 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.
