If Christian Science was any such nonsense as our critic would have your readers believe, it would not command the attention of an ever-increasing number of intelligent and God-fearing men and women, recruited principally from the older churches, but containing a liberal sprinkling from the great unchurched throng. Many ministers of the gospel have adopted its tenets and teachings and, together with eminent judges, lawyers, educators, editors, authors, and artists, are bearing insistent testimony that they have found a clearer and more satisfying sense of God and His Christ than they ever knew before.

The words "imaginary" and "imagination" are seldom used in Christian Science. To the suffering sense of the patient, sickness, pain, and disease are intensely real, but when the truth about God, man, and being is realized, and by this process the pain, sickness, and suffering disappear, it surely proves that the thoughts entertained by the one who makes the demonstration are correct and of God, from whom cometh "every good gift and every perfect gift."

Christian Science does not ignore any fact of life; it demands that man shall meet and conquer everything unlike the Anointed in his own consciousness. He will then be prepared to render service to his fellow-men.
