In a recent issue of your valued paper appeared an item from London stating: "The lower house of the Canterbury convocation of the Church of England gave its approval to faith healing and asked that it be given the official sanction of the church. The vote on the resolution followed several speeches in which Christian Science was called fantastic as a religious faith, yet was highly praised as the greatest means of faith healing." This action unquestionably shows the trend of modern thought.

That your readers may the better judge for themselves, allow me to explain briefly why Christian Science is not fantastic, nor its healings accomplished by a blind faith.

That which is fantastic is imaginary, fanciful, distorted perhaps, and possibly unreal. The teachings of Christian Science enable its followers to become preeminently practical — the very opposite of that which is imaginary. This practicality is seen everywhere in the healing of all sorts of erroneous conditions, whether manifested in sick bodies or in sick business, in false desires or in vicious habits. Jesus said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
