In a comparatively recent issue of the Globe appeared some comment on a mystical teaching that offers its devotees happiness, health, peace, and financial ease—"all without detraction from regular work or pleasure." Owing to its holding out such promises, it was inferred that the system must be "something like Christian Science, mixed up with a lot of mystery from the far East." Kindly permit me to point out through your columns that Christian Science has nothing whatever in common with such teaching. The fundamental and irreconcilable difference between Christian Science and all forms of occultism is that Christian Science teaches but the one omniscient Mind (God), and that a demonstrable understanding of this verity brings spiritual good into human experience, supplying every need. The so-called human mind is excluded as a healing, regenerative, corrective factor in Christian Science. There is nothing esoteric about Christian Science, which is, in fact, the reinstatement and restatement of the Christianity of Christ Jesus, who plainly taught that the human need is to be supplied scientifically by seeking first the "kingdom of God, and his righteousness." Theosophy, occultism, esoteric magic, mental suggestion, human psychology and philosophy, mesmerism, and hypnotism, are the very antitheses of the purely spiritual teachings and practice of Christian Science.
