Our brother construes the Master's declaration "These signs shall follow them that believe," etc., as merely a promise, and not as a test of Christian faith. It seems to us, however, that the promise was made conditional upon the faith of the believer, and is consequently a test of such faith. He further says, "A man may be an honest Christian, a real follower of Jesus, and yet be lacking in his faith in the direction indicated." This we do not deny, for Christian Scientists are deeply conscious of their own great need of a fuller possession of that Mind which was also in Christ Jesus. It cannot be wrong, however, to strive in the direction named above, and the wonderful cases of healing which are now resulting from the practice of Christian Science is evidence that the teachings of Mrs. Eddy have enabled her followers to more fully approximate the injunctions of the Master.
