"How do you account for the quick cures?" interposed Grace.
"It all depends upon how quickly one receives the consciousness of Truth. That is the healing process. But there are not very many quick cures, comparatively, though it is the quick cures we should aim for and expect, for the cure is always in the degree of our realization of the allness of God.

"Is that considered as effectual as present treatment?"
"There should be no difference, because we ought to realize that with Truth there is no space nor time. All is the eternal now and here. Some prefer to give present treatment, especially in acute cases; with others absent treatment seems more effectual."
"I am glad to hear that, for I feel that I can do better absently," said Grace, with a look of relief.
