WATCH that you distinguish between faith healing and Science.  A change in belief will cause a physical change, which mortals may call a healing, but it still leaves belief in control.  Science leaves God in control.

            Mrs. Eddy once expressed this differentiation as follows: “One makes the healed know God; the other simply heals the physical.  Faith healing is not really healing, or else the patient would be one with God. So do not think because you heal, you are a Christian Scientist; as medicine heals as regards the senses, and so does error.  A Christian Scientist heals the moral as well as the physical.”  Mary Baker Eddy    (Carpenter, Jr., Gilbert, 500 Watching Points, #323)

Oh! That personality and materiality were made the point of attack by all who desire to be Christian Scien­tists. Pull down the strongholds and we would have healers worth having. Spiritualization of thought is what the cause demands and I see little growth in that direction.  Mary Baker Eddy   (Carpenter, Gilbert, Collectanea of Items By and About Mary Baker Eddy, p.115)
