A Brief Statement

Weekly (N. Y.) Ithacan

Mr. Editor.

Let it be granted that "strength of will and determination" produce seeming results, affect "imaginary ills," and create certain tendencies. The question then arises whether such results are beneficial or lasting. Christian Science makes a sharp distinction between the general human consciousness, so aptly denominated "mortal mind" by Mrs. Eddy, and the Immortal Mind, Spirit, or Soul, synonymous with God. The theory and practice of Christian Science have been concisely summed up in the following words:—

"This is Christian Science : that mortal mind makes sick, and Immortal Mind makes well; that mortal mind makes sinners, while Immortal Mind makes saints" (Miscellaneous Writings, p. 219).
