It would take a small book to explain fully all about it, but
I may say that the fundamental idea is that God is Mind, and we interpret
the Scriptures wholly from the spiritual or metaphysical standpoint. We
find in this view of the Bible the power 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."

hundred and fifty thousand dollars and was paid for by Christian Scientists
