In the face of Mrs. Eddy's well known achievements it is a literal begging of the question to call her a confused thinker, or so to characterize her writings. The learned as well as the unlearned have found these writings illuminating and practically helpful, even to the extent of lifting them out of discordant moral and physical conditions. As Christian Science accepts the Scriptural teaching that God is infinite Spirit, and that His creation, government, and law are consequently spiritual, the attempt to make Christian Science correspond with prevailing theories might well result in confusion.

The assertion that Christian Science has displaced the gospel of Christ is disproved by the fact that its adherents accept Christ not only as their Redeemer but as their Physician. That Mrs. Eddy founded "a great organization" and called it a church, can scarcely be used as an argument against her. In the churches of this organization the truth is preached every Sunday that God is All-in-all, that there is none beside Him, and that Christ redeems men from both sickness and sin.
