Christian Science Defended

To the Editor of the Sun:—Will you kindly grant me space in your columns to correct some errors in the lectures on Christian Science, recently delivered in your city, by Rev. O. H. Tracy. The facts in regard to the origin and growth of this movement, as stated by Mr. Tracy, are substantially correct, but his comments show a lack of knowledge in regard to its teachings and results.

It is true, that perhaps a large majority of its adherents have first been attracted to Christian Science, through relief from physical ills, but far more stress is placed by its teachers on the spiritual than on the physical results. As regards the verification of the cures claimed for the system, hardly a city or town of any size in this country is without living witnesses to their truth. Every issue of the weekly or monthly publications of the Christian Scientists contains many voluntary testimonials of the healing power of Truth, which may be readily investigated by any one.

These testimonials will be found to cover all diseases known to the medical profession.
