In a recent issue there is a review of a book entitled "Christian Science Expounded and Exposed" by J. Moffat Logan. It is quite evident that the author had failed to grasp the fact that the teaching of Christian Science is based on the Biblical statement that God is All-in-all, its every conclusion being founded on that premise and agreeing with it. The only full and correct expositiaon of Christian Science will be found in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and the value of its teaching may best be judged by its effects on the lives of those who understand and practice it. It is surely somewhat curious that a religion which the reviewer styles "blatantly antiscriptural" should invariably make its followers devoted students of the Bible and should also enable them to obey the commands of the Master to preach the gospel and heal the sick. A clergyman of more than thirty years' standing, who had frequently denounced Mrs. Eddy and Christian Science from the pulpit, was driven to seek its aid on account of long-continued ill health, and was instantaneously healed through reading Mrs. Eddy's explanation of prayer in Science and Health. He recognized that only a most spiritually-minded and sincere person could have written such a statement, and with the healing of hatred and malice his physical sickness vanished. On page 344 of Science and Health Mrs. Eddy has written: "Were it morefully understood that Truth heals and that error causes disease, the opponents of a demonstrable Science would perhaps mercifully withhold their misrepresentations, which harm the sick; and until the enemies of Christian Science test its efficacy according to the rules which disclose its merits or demerits, it would be just to observe the Scriptural precept, 'Judge not.'"
