H. Ernest Vincent, Committee on Publication for the Province of Natal, South Africa,
In your issue of July 14 appears an article entitled "Faith Healing Charlatans" in which the writer associates the practice of Christian Science with faith healing.
In reply to "Corlic" writing in your issue of March 14, criticizing a lecture on Christian Science, let me say that God, being infinite, incorporeal Spirit, sees man as His image and likeness, spiritual and not material.
How
often one has seen a bee, a bird, or some other flying thing, fruitlessly trying to get through a pane of glass into the outer world! What desperate attempts are made, and how the pane is explored in the search for an exit! Probably close at hand is the outlet that is being looked for; and to one watching from a little distance this struggle for freedom, the situation may seem almost ridiculous.
Every
branch church of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, is bound to be faced, sooner or later, with the problem of church building.
