The Archbishop of York a few weeks ago contributed to a discussion on Christian Science the results of his own observation and experience. He said, with characteristic straightforwardness, that he had rarely met with people better able to comprehend the deeper aspects of truth than Christian Scientists he had had to do with. He added that the critic's task was to account for the results achieved by Christian Science in the shape of transformed lives.

The Christian Science text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," may be read in two widely differing ways. A man may read it with the conviction that there are not more things in heaven and earth than are known to his own private philosophy, and hence with no more than a gracious and condescending intent to correct what does not square with his preconceived ideas. Another, with a livelier sense of the virtue of humanity, may embark upon the study of that book with, firstly, a recognition of the impossibility of there being no good thing in a book claimed by hundreds of thousands to contain a message of practical salvation; and, secondly, with an honest determination to find that good thing. This man invariably gains from his reading some degree of moral or physical healing. The other unfortunately will often gain no more than an incentive to hold forth upon the subject in a spirit of unfriendly criticism.
