Chapter VIII - Healing the Sick
455:1
already the procurer, instead of destroyer of disease.
already the procurer, instead of destroyer of disease.
I never presume on statements diametrically opposed
to personal sense, unless I have proved their Truth
beyond a doubt. I have tested this mode of healing
with scientific certainty, in many cases, and in no case
has it failed to prove a benefit to the sick. The task,
herculean, of introducing a science has before been
tested by patient discoverers; but when the Truth of
being is learned, it will be proved. It was said to us,
"The whole world feels you, and why are you not
more widely known? "Could they have seen the little
time we have to be known, and how our work is done,
in the closet with the door shut, "seen by Him who
seeth in secret," they would have understood why.
To make a specialty of healing is really impossible for
us, when our time, means, and health are required for
the fuller investigation of this subject; to teach, write,
establish practices for students, or halt, perhaps, at
measures to be adopted, because of persecution. None
should reject Truth because it exposes some past pov-
erty of opinion, or requires the surrender of present
beliefs. Indifference to Christian science surprises one
when we know it is the eternal right in which God
holds the scales, and adjusts all harmonious balances.
Even doctrines and beliefs are to-day reaching forth
their hands for the science of being; and that which
reveals Truth ought not to be misjudged because of
ignorance or prejudice.

Some of our present readers may wish to tone down
Some of our present readers may wish to tone down
the radical points in this work, others to cast them
overboard; yet science will reproduce itself, and as
mind changes base from matter to Spirit, there will be

severe chemicalization. Truth cannot be lost; if not
severe chemicalization. Truth cannot be lost; if not
admitted to-day in its fullness, the error that shuts it
out will occasion such discord in sickness, sin, etc.,
that future years will point it out, and restore at length
the fair proportions and radical claims of Christian
Science.
