Again, in a poem entitled "The Master," he wrote:--
The healing of his seamless dress
Is by our beds of pain;
We touch him in life's throng and press,
And we are whole again.[D]
That Jesus operated in perfect harmony with natural law, not in defiance,
suppression, or violation of it, we cannot doubt. The perfectly natural is
the perfectly spiritual. Jesus enunciated and exemplified the Principle;
and, obviously, the conditions requisite in psychic healing to-day are the
same as were necessary in apostolic times. We accept the statement of
Hudson: "There was no law of nature violated or transcended. On the
contrary, the whole transaction was in perfect obedience to the laws of
nature. He understood the law perfectly, as no one before him understood
it; and in the plenitude of his power he applied it where the greatest good
could be accomplished." A careful reading of the accounts of his healings,
in the light of modern science, shows that he observed, in his practice of
mental therapeutics, the conditions of environment and harmonious influence
that are essential to success. In the case of Jairus' daughter they are
fully set forth. He kept the unbelievers away, "put them all out," and
permitting only the father and mother, with his closest friends and
followers, Peter, James, and John, in the chamber with him, and having thus
the most perfect obtainable environment, he raised the daughter to life.
