Sind Gazette

Kindly permit me to reply to Mr.——'s uncalled-for onslaught on Christian Science, published in your issue of the 12th instant. Sincere Christian Scientists need neither apologists nor pulpits, but are ever ready to defend their rights and stand for their Principle. Slowly, surely, and silently, Christian or divine Science is working its way into the Christian world, dispelling the shadows of sin, error, and evil, healing diseases and ailments both mental and corporeal, acute and chronic, without medicine, and greatly benefiting millions of the human race today, socially, morally, physically, and intellectually, the world over.

The clerical critic says: "They [Christian Scientists] talk of wonderful cures and emphasize them." Thank God, well they may, I humbly say. "Let [him or] any clergyman try to cure his friends by their faith in him. Will that faith heal them? Yet Scientists will take the same cases and cures will follow," says Mrs. Eddy (the Founder of Christian Science) in her great work "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 359). She has healed infidels whose only objection to her method of healing was that Mrs. Eddy "as a Christian Scientist believed in the Holy Spirit while they, the patients, did not." That thousands of wonderful cures are daily wrought by the almighty God who is Love, Life, and Truth, through the humble agency of Christian Scientists, is a solid fact and not fiction.

Will this critic or any interested inquirer kindly write to me, and I shall willingly send him copies of the Christian Science Sentinel, The Christian Science Journal, or The Christian Science Monitor. The last is a daily illustrated paper of twelve or more pages, treating on various topics of general interest. The two former contain accounts of several cures in each issue, signed and authenticated by those who were themselves healed. They give their names and addresses fearlessly, as a small token of gratitude to God for their moral and physical healing through the spiritual agency of Christian Science, by spiritual, not material means; for Christian Scientists take no medicine and administer none.
