I have read in a recent issue an article in which Christian Science is referred to as a freak religion. It is not at all clear why such a term is used in connection with Christian Science, and I will ask you to allow me to point out that, far from being anything in the nature of abnormal, Christian Science is preeminently normal; indeed, it is nothing more or less than the reiteration of the teaching of Christ Jesus.

It is true that Christian Science goes farther than any other system, in so far as it maintains that true Christianity includes practise as well as preaching. Two thousand years ago, Jesus the Christ, looked upon by all Christians as the great Wayshower, taught his immediate disciples and the crowds who were willing to listen to him, that the understanding of the law of God included freedom from sickness as well as from sin. Jesus and his disciples not only taught but proved this, and the Master declared also, with much emphasis, that those who understood his teaching would be able to do, not only the works, but greater works, than he did.
