To the Editor of the Leader.

I notice in your issue of November 12, an interview with Rev. Dr. Banks, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and his views in reference to breaking the law were given. Let me say in answer to same that all Christian Scientists would uphold such views because they emphatically do not believe in breaking the law.

However, he states that the so-called Christian Scientist has an insane belief and he assumes that he is superior to the laws of nature. Such a statement could hardly be believed by any one. Does not God give all life? Does not the universe reflect God in life? Are not the laws of nature the laws of God? Doubtless there is no class of people in the world who love nature as the Christian Scientists do. They love all nature, for they see God's handiwork therein; they see that God is the divine Principle of all and they have an understanding of the spiritual creation which He has made. It is, therefore, out of the question for any one to think for a moment that a Christian Scientist or any one else is superior to God.
