A letter from one of your readers, appearing in your issue of August 30, mentions Christian Science and his thought about nonreligious cults which appear to-day and are gone to-morrow, and which teach vague metaphysics. The mere mention of Christian Science in connection with such thoughts is so obviously erroneous that a correction seems hardly necessary. However, in order that there may be no possible confusion I ask opportunity for the following comment.

Christian Science is based wholly upon the omnipotence of God and His Word and promises as recorded in the Holy Bible. The study of Christian Science gives a greater appreciation of the Bible. The Bible is daily studied by every earnest Christian Scientist, and the beautiful truths found therein, with the light of Christian Science teaching thrown upon them, are a constant source of inspiration and healing. When one attends a Wednesday evening meeting in a Church of Christ, Scientist, and sees the happy, contented faces of intelligent, representative men and women and hears grateful testimonies of the healing of disease and sin of every sort, there is no doubt whatever in one's mind that Christian Science is in the very highest sense a religion—a religion whose adherents are humble followers of the great Wayshower and master Metaphysician, Christ Jesus. In the Gospel of John we read, "Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?" Christian Science has literally opened the eyes of the blind; and greater still, it has opened the eyes of those who have been in the darkness of materiality to the glorious light of spiritual understanding.

Christian Science in a little more than sixty years has grown until there are now (July, 1929) two thousand three hundred and eighty-six recognized branch churches and societies of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts.
