Regarding Christian Science

To the Editor of The Globe.

In reply to the article in your esteemed paper for March 17 under the heading "Concerning Us All," I will say that there is not only a great deal in Christian Science, but when we understand its teachings and are willing to live the high and pure life that Christian Science demands, we can find everything in it.

It is a religion that you can apply with positive success to every phase of life, I care not how difficult the problem is. It is a religion which reveals God and man in their true light, and teaches us how to realize our oneness with God. When Christian Scientists refrain from talking and discussing sickness every time they meet their friends, as is the general custom of the people of our day, it is not because they have not a true, genuine, and loving interest in their fellow-man, but it is because they have been taught in Christian Science that they serve both God and their neighbors best by seeing only the Allness of God and the unreality of all that is not of Him. They are also taught to look back of the seeming discord in man and see only the true image and likeness of God. They know that this man can reflect only the perfect, also that the perfect cannot reflect that which is imperfect.
