Being and Doing, The ABCs and XYZs of Spiritual Healing

Thomas Parker Boyd

The first six lessons in this little book were published in the Pacific Churchman (Episcopal) and were so well received by church men and women that it seems wise to give them more widespread circulation. They are statements of truth adapted to people of any church, or for those who are interested in truth, who are not in the church.

The remaining lessons, the XYZs of Spiritual Healing, are for those who have studied and are ready for a more advanced statement of the principles of universal truth. They are sent out with the prayer that they will bring faith to see and courage to use the inherent powers of life given us of God.

The principle of health is universal. Its operation is by law and order. Things do not operate by whim or impulse. He is without variableness or shadow of turning.

Niagara thunders on over its precipice and makes a noise and a display. We turn a small part of it through turbines and produce light, heat and power. The idealist wants to see it thunder on and waste its forces in mist and noise. The utilitarian wants to harness it up to further man’s progress. Apparently there is enough to satisfy all for a while.

There is one God. He is manifest in His universe and is worshiped historically. He manifests in personality and is worshiped as person. He manifests in form and symbol and is worshiped though the senses. He manifests within the spirit of man and is worshiped directly without any intermediary. Neither one exhausts all the possibilities of worship.

There is one power. Primarily, it is
