It is unfortunate that those who are not the followers of Christian Science so frequently make the mistake of trying to explain its teachings and of classifying it with other systems of healing having nothing in common with it.
William Brandt, Committee on Publication for the State of Maryland,
In a sermon, which appeared in a recent issue of your paper, written by a minister who is under the impression that he knows more about the Bible than do the Christian Scientists, the question is asked, "How is it that you accept heaven and reject the reality of eternal perdition?
Charles M. Shaw, Committee on Publication for Lancashire, England,
The report in your recent issue of a sermon preached in the Milton Congregational Church recently concludes with the question, "What has Christian Science which the church has not?
Arthur P. De Camp, Committee on Publication for the State of Missouri,
In several issues of the Missourian during the past few weeks, in your reports of the sermons of an evangelist, have appeared references to Christian Science and to Mrs.
Charles E. Heitman, Committee on Publication for the State of New York,
By way of correcting any false impression that may have been conveyed by a reference to Christian Science contained in the address of an archdeascon, as reported in a recent issue, please permit me to say that Christian Science does not, as our reverend friend seems to think, heal by a process of suggestion.

Paul's
unqualified declaration, "The carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to law of God, neither indeed can be," leaves us in no doubt as to the utter disagreement between the so-called carnal or mortal mind, its demands and desires, and the divine Mind, which is God.
Gentleness

As I have received much encouragement and help from reading the testimonies of healing published in the Christian Science Sentinel, I feel it to be my duty to God, to our dear Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, and to mankind, to tell of some of the blessings which have come to me through the study and application of the truths revealed in the Bible and made plain through Mrs.
Having been many times helped by the testimonies in Christian Science, both written and spoken, I desire to add mine, and to swell the great song of gratitude to God for His most wonderful gift to His people in our day and for His messenger, Mary Baker Eddy, through whose loving and unselfish labors we have been enabled to find the Rock of Truth, Christ, and to make practical use of the Master's teachings again, in the healing from sin, disease, and even death.

About ten years ago, during a period of great physical suffering, I became very much discouraged because the remedies prescribed by physicians brought no relief.
Nearly all my life I had been a sufferer from chronic indigestion and heart trouble, until seventeen years ago, when I was healed in about three weeks through reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.

Articles from members of The Mother Church and good testimonies from those healed by Christian Science are always welcomed for consideration by the Editors.
