P. A. Walker

Dublin (Ireland) Express

My attention has been drawn to a report of a sermon by the Archbishop of Dublin, appearing in the Daily Express. In it His Grace is reported to have said in speaking of pain that "Christian Science, that strange product of their own age, sought to escape the problem by denying its existence." Permit me to say that Christian Science does not seek to escape any problem, but solves it by the understanding of the allness of God, Mind, and the nothingness of its opposite, matter. In denying the agony of the great war, Christian Science shows that the only war is that of Soul over sense, or the struggle to overcome evil with good. The result is never in doubt. Christian Scientists did not attempt to shirk their responsibilities as citizens, but were found taking their places in every branch of the service from the moment war was declared. Also, a large sum of money was distributed in this country from the War Relief fund of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, Boston, Mass., and the needs of the Army and Navy were provided for in the Welfare Rooms to be found adjacent to the large camps.

Mrs. Eddy says on page 153 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures": "The fact that pain cannot exist where there is no mortal mind to feel it is a proof that this so-called mind makes its own pain—that is, its own belief in pain;" and on page 171, "The so-called laws of matter are nothing but false beliefs that intelligence and life are present where Mind is not. These false beliefs are the procuring cause of all sin and disease. The opposite truth, that intelligence and life are spiritual, never material, destroys sin, sickness, and death."
