Your issues of September 4 and 11 contain reports of two sermons on Christian Science which need correction.
Let me begin by stating that at no time was Mary Baker Eddy a spiritualistic medium. On the contrary, on page 71 of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," in a chapter entitled "Christian Science versus Spiritualism," she writes, "I never could believe in spiritualism."
When attempting to explain the teaching of Christian Science, it is evident that the clergyman had not grasped its fundamental basis, and therefore gave a confused sense of it. In Christian Science, "reality" means that which is "spiritual, harmonious, immutable, immortal, divine, eternal" (Scienceand Health, p. 335). Sin, disease, and death cannot be placed in this category. They are temporal, finite, discordant, mortal, and material. They are the outcome of the so-called carnal mind, which Paul termed "enmity against God." They are the works of the devil. Now what is the devil? Christ Jesus gave a very clear definition when, speaking of the devil, he said that he "abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it [the lie]."
