Your contributor "Cecilia," in the illustrated section, referred to Christian Science as dealing in romance and make believe, but it would be almost impossible to make a more erroneous or misleading statement.

Thus the demonstrability of the goodness of God and truth is insisted upon, and the daily demonstrations of the omnipotence of good which Christian Science brings to pass, are so many proofs that evil, or that which denies that omnipotence, is not of itself a reality or power; that it has no place in the one all-knowing Mind; that its supposed existence is only permitted through the fallibility of human concepts, and that it is, therefore, in its true nature a deception, a negation, verily a make-believe.
