Your recent editorial review of the trend toward spiritual healing among various religious denominations is most interesting; especially so is your conclusion that the Church of England, working under the guidance of a joint committee of physicians and clergymen in its quest spiritual healing, should select some such middle ground as that advocated by a writer who is quoted as favoring more of Christian Science for medical men and a little more of medicine for Christian Scientists! After approving, presumably, this middle ground position, you state, "Nothing short of absolute Christian Science, utterly rejecting all medical aid, will help the true hypochondriac, in all probability." Occasionally, some one not sufficiently acquainted with the teachings of Christian Science to demonstrate its Principle, admits its efficacy in overcoming mental disorders (hypochondria, melancholia, etcetera), but doubts whether this efficacy extends to the healing of physical disorders.

Testimonies given in Christian Science churches throughout the world and others appearing in the Christian Science periodicals will convince any impartial investigator that Christian Science heals all manner of physical diseases—functional and organic—as well as those diseases described as mental. It should be emphasized that the treatment of disease in Christian Science, whether mental or physical, is most successful when full reliance is placed on God, and material methods are eschewed. Christian Science is a religion based on the teachings of Christ Jesus, who healed all manner of disease wholly through spiritual means, and who not only rejected material means but specifically warned against the fallacy of attempting to serve two masters.
