From a report of Evangelist Mahood's meeting we note that he continues his attack upon Christian Science by calling names. This is no proof that what he says is true, and misrepresentations will not help in reforming the sinner or aid those who are in need of spiritual help. One might call his doctrine Mahoodism, but this would offer no proof that his teaching was true or false. It is not this kind of teaching the people want; they are demanding that which is true, and there is a saving truth to impart to those who are hungering and thirsting after righteousness. The Science of being is knowable—it is demonstrable—we are living in a day of scientific Christianity.

The Christ-healing as taught by Jesus is a scientific fact—a demonstrable fact when spiritually understood. A spiritual knowledge of the teachings of the Bible enables one to be obedient to the precept of the Master: "He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." When there arose a doubt in John's mind whether or not Jesus was the Son of God, he sent two of his followers to make the inquiry: "Art thou he that should come?" and Jesus' reply was: "Go and show John again those things which ye do hear and see: the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them."

The Christian Science text-book. "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mrs. Eddy, is a Bible commentary; it illumines the Scriptures and interprets them spiritually. This spiritual understanding regenerates the human consciousness, whereby the divine energy of Truth is made manifest and heals the sick.
