Press Gazette
Christian Science is not a "delusion" in which men "may shut themselves away from the problems of the world," as a bishop is reported as saying in the issue of your paper of September 5. It is true, as the biship indicates, that men to-day are taking "refuge from thought of pain and suffering" in Christian Science. That in which these men are taking refuge, however, is not a delusion but the spiritual truth about God and man and the universe, as taught and practiced by Christ Jesus, and revealed by Christian Science. This truth is understandable and provable by anyone who will approach it in a humble enough spirit to accept its fundamental teachings, in the same manner in which a child accepts the multiplication tables in the study of arithmetic.
Christian Science teaches that because God, good, is infinite Spirit, or Mind, His universe including man is good, wholly spiritual or divinely mental, and is composed of spiritual ideas. This statement accepted as a basis for thought and action relative to human experience, replaces the objects and thoughts of the material senses such as pain and suffering—which Christian Science teaches are unreal because they are not of God—with spiritual ideas, which are real and eternal. When this has been accomplished even in a slight degree, the student of Christian Science knows that it is not a "delusion," but the spiritual truth about God and man and the universe, which Christ Jesus declared would make man free.
