We appreciate your acknowledgment of the beneficial influence of the Christian Science movement, as expressed in an editorial comment in a recent issue of your paper. In the same spirit of fairness, we request the courtesy of your columns to clarify your impression that Christian Scientists are inconsistent because, while maintaining that sin, sickness, and death do not in reality exist, they are preparing to build a sanatorium in San Francisco.

While it recognizes the seeming existence of sin, sickness, and death, the great message that Christian Science brings to the world is that this seeming existence is not true; and therefore neither real nor eternal. On page 460 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" Mrs. Eddy says: "Sickness is neither imaginary nor unreal,—that is, to the frightened, false sense of the patient. Sickness is more than fancy; it is solid conviction. It is therefore to be dealt with through right apprehension of the truth of being." To make these discordant conditions less and less real to suffering humanity is the work of Christian Science practitioners and nurses, and the purpose of our sanatoriums. Such institutions provide a place for quiet, rest, and study.
