Christian Science and Miracle Cures

To the Editor.

Sir:—An article in your issue of September 13, reprinted from the Boston Herald, and entitled, "Miracle Cures in Mexico," raises questions of deeper import than is commonly realized. Since the author of that article referred to Christian Science in connection with his interesting description, I beg to emphasize the radical difference between so-called miracle cures and those resulting from Christian Science practice.

The former are amply described in the instance given by the correspondent of the Boston Herald, as cures effected "by prayers or vows offered" to a picture "accompanied usually by anointing the sick person with oil taken from the great lamp always burning before the picture."
