358:9 Christian Science, understood, coincides with the Scriptures, and sustains logically and demonstratively every point it presents. Otherwise it would 358:12 not be Science, and could not present its proofs. Christian Science is neither made up of contra- dictory aphorisms nor of the inventions of those who scoff 358:15 at God. It presents the calm and clear verdict of Truth against error, uttered and illustrated by the prophets, by Jesus, by his apostles, as is recorded throughout the 358:18 Scriptures. Why are the words of Jesus more frequently cited for our instruction than are his remarkable works? Is 358:21 it not because there are few who have gained a true knowledge of the great import to Christianity of those works? Personal confidence 358:24 Sometimes it is said; "Rest assured that whatever effect Christian Scientists may have on the sick, comes through rousing within the sick a belief 358:27 that in the removal of disease these healers have wonderful power, derived from the Holy Ghost." Is it likely that church-members have more faith in 358:30 some Christian Scientist, whom they have perhaps never seen and against whom they have been warned, than they have in their own accredited and orthodox 359:1 pastors, whom they have seen and have been taught to love and to trust? 359:3 Let any clergyman try to cure his friends by their faith in him. Will that faith heal them? Yet Scien- tists will take the same cases, and cures will follow. 359:6 Is this because the patients have more faith in the Scien- tist than in their pastor? I have healed infidels whose only objection to this method was, that I as a Chris- 359:9 tian Scientist believed in the Holy Spirit, while they, the patients, did not. Even though you aver that the material senses are 359:12 indispensable to man's existence or entity, you must change the human concept of life, and must at length know yourself spiritually and scientifically. The evi- 359:15 dence of the existence of Spirit, Soul, is palpable only to spiritual sense, and is not apparent to the material senses, which cognize only that which is the opposite of Spirit.
