Day 301: Mental Surgery

605:25-607:5

Today’s testimony is from 1902 when an adult was thrown from a bike and broke an arm. The description of the process the adult used is enough to give me the idea anyone can experience this. From 402:1-7, Mary Baker Eddy says Christian Science is the most skilled surgeon:

Christian Science is always the most skilful surgeon, but surgery is the branch of its healing which will be last acknowledged. However, it is but just to say that the author has already in her possession well-authenticated records of the cure, by herself and her students through mental surgery alone, of broken bones, dislocated joints, and spinal vertebrae.

As an aside, as I look things up via the concordance, and would change it or add to it, it would be a fun project to take the text of S&H from Gutenberg and feed it into a modern indexing/full-text search program and make that available. Something where readers could add to it and words could be found based on synonyms or antonyms.
