The
writer remembers having a vivid dream of a serious misunderstanding with a valued friend; and in the morning her first drowsy thought was one of intense discomfort at the remembrance of it.
Our
beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, in the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," has asked two very important questions, and answered them.
In
what way Christian Science may be made practical in the business world is a question which is often asked by the new student, and it is a question which has a right to be answered; for if the teachings of this beautiful religion were not applicable to every discordant condition which confronts humanity, they surely could not be accepted as applicable to any.
When
Christian Science enters one's life, one soon finds his viewpoint on many subjects changing; and an entirely new standard has to be reckoned with.
When
Christ Jesus employed the double illustration of the "house divided against itself" and of "the strong man" and his goods, he referred, as the context shows, to human consciousness, which is a supposititious mixture of good and evil thoughts.

A noted editorial writer, in your recent issue, quotes a professor as saying this country "boasts of its religious freedom" and is cursed with bigotry.
William A. Gilchrist, Committee on Publication for Saskatchewan, Canada,
In your recent issue there was published a special article by a doctor, entitled "Pictures of Disease," in which reference was made to Christian Science.
Mrs. Annie I. Rembert, Committee on Publication for the State of South Carolina,
It is not our desire to enter into a religious discussion, but we would thank you for space in your paper in order to correct an erroneous impression of Christian Science.
Albert E. Lombard, Committee on Publication for Southern California,
In your recent issue a doctor discussed Christian Science and mistakenly attributed to Christian Scientists actions that are impossible in those who are healing sin and sickness through spiritual means alone.
Whoever
has studied Christian Science, gained an understanding of its teachings, and in some degree demonstrated these teachings in the healing of disease and sin, is not in doubt as to the entirely metaphysical nature of Christian Science healing.
Testimonies of healings brought about at authorized lectures on Christian Science will be published in The Christian Science Journal or the Christian Science Sentinel, when verified as are other testimonies appearing in the periodicals.
When Christian Science was first brought to my notice, I was in a very low state of health, and almost despaired of ever feeling well and strong again.
Over sixteen years ago I was led to take up the study of Christian Science after being partly crippled for three years and also suffering from internal troubles.
With a heart full of gratitude I wish to tell of a healing I received about four years ago at a Christian Science lecture, the first one delivered in our new church.
Prior to the time "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy was lovingly called to my attention, I had suffered constantly from one or more physical ailments.
