The Need of Discrimination

Albert E. Miller

Scranton (Pa.) Tribune

Editor of The Tribune.

Sir: The announcement is made in your columns that Dr. J. C. Bateson, of Scranton, has "discovered and demonstrated that the power to heal the sick, accredited to Christian Science, faith cure, clairvoyance, hypnotism, etc.,. is the same in each case."

Permit me to say that what Dr. Bateson claims as his discovery is in reality an old charge, which has been brought against Christian Science from the time of its first presentation. This charge, however, can only be brought against Christian Science by those who utterly fail to grasp its principles. The opinion of such critics is of as much value in determining the truth of this matter, as an opinion, concerning mathematics offered by one who has never solved a single problem in arithmetic.
