As reported in the News, a clergyman, in a sermon at Brighton, classed Christian Science as a "false religion." Christian Science is founded on the religion and teaching of Christ Jesus, and by its work of regenerating and healing mankind is proving that it is both a Christian and a scientific religion. In sending forth his disciples Jesus gave them command "to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick."

In the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mrs. Eddy says on page 131, "Jesus' works established his claim to the Messiahship. In reply to John's inquiry, 'Art thou he that should come,' Jesus returned an affirmative reply, recounting his works instead of referring to his doctrine, confident that this exhibition of the divine power to heal would fully answer the question. Hence his reply: 'Go and show John again those things which ye do hear and see: the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.'"

Mrs. Eddy also says on page 201 of the same work: "The best sermon ever preached is Truth practised and demonstrated by the destruction of sin, sickness, and death." It is because Christian Science acknowledges and obeys one God, who is Love, and endeavors to follow the Sermon on the Mount, that it is able to raise the sick and the sinner and to comfort such as mourn. "Ye shall know them by their fruits."
