Christian Science is indeed good for weak backbones, as a doctor pleasantly admits in a recent issue of your esteemed newspaper. It should not be surprising that religious teaching which conforms to Christianity as Jesus taught and practiced it, does strengthen weak backbones, as well as every other discordant physical and moral condition. Many thousands have been helped in just such ways throuth their study and application of Christian Science. It will hardly convince these people to tell them that the world is sadder and more monotonous because they have found it easier to be smiling all the time, or that, in your kindly correspondent's words, too much happiness is worse than too little. There can never be too much of the happiness which follows a better understanding of the Christ and of man's God-given opportunity to deny, that is, to overcome or exclude, the painful facts of human experience, made manifest in sin, sickness, sorrow, and want.

Christian Science will live because it meets the age-long human need to know God better and to express the power of man's true spiritual nature in the experiences of daily life. In the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 57), Mrs. Eddy writes: "Happiness is spiritual, born of Truth and Love. It is unselfish; therefore it cannot exist alone, but requires all mankind to share it."
