In trying to hold Christian Science up to ridicule, are you not emulating the example of those who sought thus to stamp out early Methodism? Christ Jesus, at the bedside of one whom her parents thought dead, said, "She is not dead, but sleepeth." Surely this is good authority for denying the evidence of the senses bearing witness to death. The seeming death was not real, not an eternal, spiritual fact, as Jesus proved. As an apostle has written, Jesus "abolished death." In the case of Jairus' daughter the spectators did not appreciate Jesus' utterance, but "they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead." Their sense of humor was discounted in the sublime, life-giving, spiritual sense entertained and manifested by Christ Jesus.
