The Prayer of a Dyspeptic

Editor

In reply to inquiries we say that the supposed prayer of a dyspeptic which has been published in some medical and other publications as a Christian Science prayer, is not a Christian Science prayer at all, nor does it bear the slightest resemblance, in form or substance, to anything pertaining to Christian Science. If it is not wholly fictitious, it is copied from something which has no relation whatever to Christian Science.

If the editors of medical journals and other publications would take but a tithe of the pains to ascertain what Christian Science prayer is that they do to hunt out falsities which they think will answer their purpose in attempting to belie and ridicule Christian Science, they would place themselves in a much more favorable light before the general reading and thinking public, to say nothing of the many thousands of intelligent people who know at a glance that they are falsifying.

They can do this by casting their eye even hastily over the chapter on "Prayer" in the Christian Science text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," —one of the grandest and most rationalistic explications of prayer extant.
