On page 460 of Science and Health, Mrs. Eddy declares: "Sickness is neither imaginary nor unreal,—that is, to the frightened, false sense of the patient. Sickness is more than fancy; it is solid conviction. It is therefore to be dealt with through right apprehension of the truth of being." That Christian Scientists have attained some measure of this "right apprehension" is attested by the ever increasing number of those healed by their ministrations. To the Christian Scientist good alone is real; and his faith in this rests upon the logical conclusion that God, to be infinite good, could not be the author of evil; and that the latter, therefore, has not the reality, permanency, nor perpetuity of the former.

The theological world has nothing to gain by attacking Christian Science. The latter is here to stay; and, judging by the constantly increasing number of its adherents, it is evidently satisfying the aching heart of humanity with its interpretation of the Scriptures and with its obedience to the injunction of the Master, "Heal the sick."
