The comic strip entitled, "Joe Quince," in your issue of recent date, portrays an individual saying to one who is trying to keep cool: "Christian Science is a great thing. ... The only way to keep cool is not to notice the heat. Go out and imagine you 're cool and you 'll feel cool." This statement and others similar to it have been made so many times by those who are ignorant of the teachings of Christian Science that I beg you to give me space for a brief statement of facts.

Christian Science does enable the student of it to rise superior to the petty annoyances and discomforts that go to make up this mortal existence, as well as the more pronounced evils "that flesh is heir to." This is done, however, not by just imagining that you are cool, for example, when you are not, but by a changed mental attitude brought about by thinking better thoughts and living a more consecrated life and by knowing that God is not the author or sender of discord, but of peace and harmony. Christian Science is teaching mortals to-day so to think and live that by making Him, God, first in thought and acknowledging Him in all their ways, as Jesus the Christ acknowledged God and taught his disciples to do, He does and will direct their paths. Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, in her textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," has so unlocked the Bible and revealed the truth about God and man that mortals are becoming better mentally, morally, and physically. Christian Science, which is the Word of God to this age, is doing so much good for humanity that it ought to receive respect and not ridicule from all thinking persons.
