  	    Why do Christian Scientists hold that their theology is
15	essential to heal the sick, when the mind-cure claims to heal

  	    Our Master understood that Life, Truth, Love are the
  	triune Principle of all pure theology; also, that ...this divine
 9	trinity is one infinite remedy for the opposite triad, sick-
  	ness, sin, and death.
