An article in the News of yesterday quotes from a sermon by a clergyman at Nottingham (England), ridiculing occultism, suggestion, faith healing, spiritual healing, and Christian Science.

There is a confusion of thought displayed in this wholesale criticism of differing and even opposing subjects, which points to an inability to distinguish between human beliefs, such as suggestion and superstition, and Christian Science, which is based on the rediscovery of God's spiritual laws, the efficacy of which Jesus demonstrated.

Paul makes a clear distinction between the guiding thoughts that come to us from the divine Mind, God, and the beliefs and suggestions of the mortal or carnal mind, which he terms "enmity against God," and which we must resist.

Its only Principle of healing being divine Love, any attempt to ridicule Christian Science belittles the power of God. Even what is commonly referred to as "faith healing" is a step toward a trust in the unseen God, "who healeth all thy diseases." This trust is the basis of the spiritual healing which is accepted by the dean's own church.
