Divine authority

Like the great Exemplar, the healer should speak to disease as one having authority over it, leaving Soul to master the false evidences of the corporeal senses and to assert its claims over mortal- ity and disease. The same Principle cures both sin and sickness. When divine Science overcomes faith in a car- nal mind, and faith in God destroys all faith in sin and in material methods of healing, then sin, disease, and death will disappear.
