How our Senses do not Tell the Truth

W. D. McCrackan

New York American and Journal

To the Editor.

The highly interesting article in a recent issue of the American, entitled, "Are Our Senses Reliable?" by Professor Conville Melinand, refers to Christian Science in this connection, but, unfortunately, in such a manner as to make it seem responsible for the utterances of various philosophers, psychologists, and physicists with whose views Christian Science has little, if anything, in common.

In closing his article Professor Melinand makes the following exceedingly frank and generous statement in regard to those whose views on this question he does not indorse: "I do not say that they are wrong; I do not claim that I am right; but I do say that there is a reasonable doubt, and that this doubt is justifiable until they have proved their assertion."
