A critic of Christian Science, in a recent issue of your paper, is attempting the impossible. Christian Science is the truth. No one argues about Truth. To use the simile of the multiplication table, no one argues about it. It is true; and if one makes a mistake in a sum, he must correct it. Christian Science is the truth; and sooner or later each must bring himself into line with it.

The only way for an earnest inquirer to understand Christian Science is to take his Bible and the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," and, in the quiet of his own room, study the two—as Bacon says, "Weigh and consider;" then as much, or as little as he understands, put into practice, and he will find the "signs following." There is no royal road; and there can be no compulsion. Even in one's own family, it cannot be forced. There must be the need. In many, in most cases, this need is physical healing; and when this is gained, as it has been by thousands upon thousands, the patient usually, if not always, tries to understand what it is that has healed him.

Finally, when the desire for arguing tempts us, may we remember Paul's advice to the Romans, "Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way."
