A recent issue of the Citizen contains a sermon by a clergyman entitled "The Compassion of God." In it he says, "That there is pain in the world to-day no one doubts, despite all the clamor of Christian Science." As this gives a wrong view of what Christian Science teaches on the subject of the unreality of pain, I shall be obliged if you will permit me to correct it. Christian Science never denies that in the world to-day pain may sometimes appear very real; neither is it unsympathetic towards sufferers. When the statement is made in Christian Science that pain is unreal, what is meant is that pain is no more part of real being than a mistake in computation is part of arithmetic. This does not, as the clergyman states, "give the devil the upper hand," but it enables one to overcome evil through a fuller understanding of God, infinite good.
