A Christian Scientist could have no fear of evil thought, for he understands how to overcome evil with good, neither could he resort to evil mental practice, for in so doing he would be obliged to depart from Christian Science, substituting a wicked mental practice. Every effort of the true Christian Scientist is consistent with the understanding that God is Love and that He is the only real power. Such practice can never do harm, but must always do good.

It is recorded in the Bible that Jesus after doing "many mighty works" was accused of casting "out devils through Beelzebub the chief of devils." His reply was, "If I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out?" This silenced his accusers.

From the tone of much criticism one might be led into thinking that Christian Science was being subjected to the same accusation. The condition which Christian Scientists find existent in they world to-day more than justifies the efforts which they are making to afford relief to humanity. With sickness and sin on every side, the call is for something more than blind faith, and if "every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning," then is it not a comparatively easy matter to discover the source of anything which brings forth the multitude of good works which we find accompanying the teaching and practice of Christian Science?
