Rogaland, Stavanger (translation)

In a recent issue of Rogaland there appears an attack on Christian Science, to which I should like to reply.

The First Church of Christ, Scientist, was established in Boston, Massachusetts, by Mary Baker Eddy about sixty years ago, to "reinstate primitive Christianity and its lost element of healing" (Church Manual, p. 17).

The article mentioned discloses ignorance of Christian Science. It is not "business efficiency" and "deceit" that have built the Christian Science churches all over the world. It is the gratitude of the thousands who through Christian Science have attained to a satisfactory understanding of Christianity and to health. It is the success of Christian Scientists in healing through prayer which has caused other church denominations to take up "this nuisance of healing by prayer," because they realize that it is a necessary part of Christianity.
