With regard to an article on metaphysical healing that appeared in an issue of your paper, please permit me to state on behalf of the Christian Science church that the curative method employed by Christian Scientists is radically different from that used by persons who style themselves "metaphysicians" and "divine healers."

Christian Scientists utilize the law of God, divine Mind, to destroy sickness, sorrow, and sin. The Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy (Pref., p. x), says that the human mind "is not a factor in the Principle of Christian Science."

Christ Jesus was the greatest demonstrator of God's law, and he presented the perfect method of healing. He did not rely on the human mind to cure discord, but said, "I can of mine own self do nothing," and proclaimed that the Father "doeth the works." Christian Scientists accept Christ Jesus as their Way-shower, and strive to conform to the model presented by his life, character, and works. The multitudes who have been healed of physical, mental, and moral ailments through Christian Science testify to the efficacy of its healing method.
