Women and Christian Science

Frank W. Gale

San Francisco Examiner

Mr. Editor.

Accepting your kind invitation to give for publication a "theory as to the causes that make women so active in new religions," I will present some reasons why women are so active in Christian Science, which was referred to in your article as "one of the most powerful, and at the same time most admirable, of recent religious developments."

In the first place, it is generally admitted that women, as a rule, are more intuitive than men, and more quickly grasp the spiritual truths upon which religion is based. As you well say in regard to Christian Science, "A woman with an extraordinary insight into human nature is the founder and present head of the cult;" and this is true of Mrs. Eddy because of her deep spiritual insight into the laws that relate of God and man's relation to Him.
