Disease a Delusion

Duncan Sinclair

Christian Science is telling the world, in language which has not the slightest trace of ambiguity about it, that disease is a delusion. Unaware of the reasoning by which the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mrs. Eddy, arrived at this momentous fact, many are up in arms against it; and too often ridicule is poured upon Christian Science, which, although it was discovered only a little over half a century ago, has been of inestimable value in relieving human suffering. For Christian Science has healed a great multitude, scattered over the face of the earth, of diseases many of which had been pronounced incurable.

Now it serves no good purpose, indeed it is childish, to ridicule what is not understood. One would have thought the days for such a practice were over. Discoveries in the so-called physical realm have been so numerous of late,—many of them very wonderful,—and they have been accepted so approvingly by mankind, that hardly a skeptical word is heard about them. Instead, constant expectancy is everywhere manifested of still greater discoveries about to be made; and the last thing one expects to hear is ridicule of these discoveries or of those persons engaged in the research work which brings them about.
