Abstract: Eddy discusses the mission of the Christian Scientists which was to end the illusory conflict of the mind and body by dispelling the belief in disease, and helping patients achieve harmony with truth. She firmly believed that evil-minded people could manipulate evil mental influence to produce disease and misfortune to others through malicious animal magnetism (M.A.M.)

General Notes: Chapters 5 and 6 of this book discuss animal magnetism and medicine, and their bearings on the Christian Science theology. Eddy declares that Christian Science was the divine law of life, and the Christian Scientists heal both diseases and sin. She did not consider animal magnetism a remedial agent, and cautioned that it would lead to moral and physical death of the magnetists, their subjects and the believers.
