fully developed to heal the sick.
It is not faith-cure, but it is an acknowledgment of certain Christian and
scientific laws, and to work a cure the practitioner must understand these
laws aright. The patient may gain a better understanding than the Church
has had in the past. All churches have prayed for the cure of disease, but
they have not done so in an intelligent manner, understanding and
demonstrating the Christ-healing."

DISCOVERED CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

REMARKABLE CAREER OF REV. MARY BAKER EDDY, WHO HAS OVER ONE HUNDRED
THOUSAND FOLLOWERS

Rev. Mary Baker Eddy, Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, author
of its textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," president
of the Massachusetts Metaphysical College, and first pastor of the
Christian Science denomination, is without doubt one of the most remarkable
women in America. She has within a few years founded a sect that has over
one hundred thousand converts, and very recently saw completed in Boston,
as a testimonial to her labors, a handsome fire-proof church that cost two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars and was paid for by Christian Scientists
all over the country.

Mrs. Eddy asserts that in 1866 she became certain that "all causation was
Mind, and every effect a mental phenomenon." Taking her text from the
Bible, she endeavored in vain to find the great curative Principle--the
Deity--in philosophy and schools of medicine, and she concluded that the
way of salvation demonstrated by Jesus was the power of Truth over all
error, sin, sickness, and death. Thus originated the divine or spiritual
Science of Mind-healing, which she termed Christian Science. She has a
palatial home in Boston and a country-seat in Concord, N.H. The Christian
Science Church has a membership of four thousand, and eight hundred of the
members are Bostonians.

The idea that Christian Science has declined in popularity is not borne out
by the voluntary contribution of a quarter of a million dollars for a
memorial church for Mrs. Eddy, the inventor of this cure. The money comes
from Christian Science believers exclusively.
