A recent issue of your paper contains an article, "Poisoning of the Child's Mind," by a doctor. Here we find many good hints respecting the treatment of the child's mind, but we may be allowed to correct the allusion to Christian Science appearing in the same article. A child can come under no better influence than Christian Science, for here he is led under God's government. He learns that God is All-in-all, and therefore that all is good. He learns that evil is not of God and therefore has no true being. He learns that the real man is God's reflection and therefore is spiritual and good. With remarkable ease these verities are grasped by the child; and the more clearly he sees the unreality of evil, the more does evil lose its power over him; he responds to the influence of God, good, and a change for the better is recognized. At the Wednesday evening testimony meetings in Christian Science churches, where opportunity is given to tell of experiences as to the healing effects of Christian Science, we often hear statements from grateful mothers of the change for good that has taken place in their children after they have begun to attend the Christian Science Sunday School.

When the author of the above-mentioned article believes that Christian Science works through suggestion, it will from this be seen that such belief is based on a lack of knowledge of Christian Science teaching, which is founded wholly on the Bible, on the spiritual understanding of the teachings of Jesus, of the prophets, and of the apostles.
