My attention has been drawn to a letter published in the column headed "Our Readers' Forum" in your issue of the 27th inst.; and I shall be glad if you will kindly spare me the necessary space to reply thereto.

Your correspondent states, "The Christian Scientists are a comparatively new sect." But Christian Science has been founded for over half a century, and in that length of time it has established over two thousand four hundred and fifty-one branch churches and societies, and thirty-nine university organizations.

As regards the statement that "those addresses prove Christian Science to be a far greater illusion than 'Suffering,'" your correspondent is evidently suffering from lack of knowledge of what Christian Science teaches. On page 460 of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, the author states: "Sickness is neither imaginary nor unreal,—that is, to the frightened, false sense of the patient. Sickness is more than fancy; it is solid conviction. It is therefore to be dealt with through right apprehension of the truth of being."
