As your journal is "devoted to accuracy, dependability, and honesty in every department,"—to quote from your monthly announcement,—kindly allow me to inform you and your readers that a misstatement with reference to Christian Science appeared in the "Let's Talk It Over" department of a recent issue, under the heading "Suggestion—or Mental Therapeutics." The contributor of this article, while discussing the healing of disease by psychology, said of Christian Science and faith cures, "They are made by suggestion and suggestion only." Now, this statement conveys a very wrong impression of Christian Science practice. Christian Science practice is not suggestion, mesmerism, or a product of so-called human will. It is not the influence of one human mind over another. Christian Science is a religion based upon and in accord with the teachings and practice of Christ Jesus. The physical healing effected through Christian Science results from the operation of divine law in human consciousness. It is a ministry of salvation which fulfills the promises of the Founder of Christianity.
