mighty works “because of their unbelief” in Truth. Any human error is its own enemy, and works against itself; Mortal mind not a healer it does nothing in the right direction and much in the wrong. If so-called mind is cherishing evil passions and malicious purposes, it is not a healer, but it engenders disease and death.
If faith in the truth of being, which you impart mentally while destroying error, causes chemicalization (as Effect of opposites when an alkali is destroying an acid), it is because the truth of being must transform the error to the end of producing a higher manifestation. This fermentation should not aggravate the disease, but should be as painless to man as to a fluid, since matter has no sensation and mortal mind only feels and sees materially.
What I term chemicalization is the upheaval produced when immortal Truth is destroying erroneous mortal belief. Mental chemicalization brings sin and sickness to the surface, forcing impurities to pass away, as is the case with a fermenting fluid.
The only effect produced by medicine is dependent upon mental action. If the mind were parted from the body, Medicine and brain could you produce any effect upon the brain or body by applying the drug to either? Would the drug remove paralysis, affect organization, or restore will and action to cerebrum and cerebellum?
Until the advancing age admits the efficacy and supremacy of Mind, it is better for Christian Scientists to leave Skilful surgery surgery and the adjustment of broken bones and dislocations to the fingers of a surgeon, while the mental healer confines himself chiefly to mental reconstruction and to the prevention of inflammation.
