Allow me to reply categorically to the statements appearing in your issue of February 27.
(1) Christian Science is based on the understanding of the infinitude of God, Spirit; and its works, in the healing of the sick and the reforming of the sinner, are the result of the spiritual understanding of this fact. Quimby, on the other hand, based his work on suggestion, hypnotism, mesmerism, in fact, on the action of one human mind, so called, over another. It is interesting to know that these two methods are contrasted in the twelfth chapter of Matthew. The first is the method of Christ Jesus, who said, "If I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you." The second method is set forth in verses 43–45, where the carnal mind is employed to cast out its own errors. This it claims to do, but it cannot replace error with truth; and thereby it leaves the human consciousness ready for the entrance of worse beliefs, the last state of the man being worse than the first.
(2) The word "science" means "knowledge classified and made available in work, life, or the search for truth" (Webster's New International Dictionary). Throughout the civilized world to-day thousands are proving that Christian Science is preëminently scientific. This is not a matter of opinion, but of fact. Mrs. Eddy discovered the divine Principle and its spiritual laws which underlay the works of the prophets, Christ Jesus, his disciples, and the early Christians, and embodied her discovery in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," the textbook of this Science.
