I shall be much obliged if you will grant me space to reply to a review of a swansea physician's new book, as it contains some remarks about Christian Science that might be misleading to your readers.

In the article, after a reference to Christian Science, it is stated that "any system which denies the reality of suffering, whatever else it may be, is certainly not Christian."

In the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (which is founded solely on the Bible, especially on the words and works of Christ Jesus), its author, Mary Baker Eddy, refers in numerous instances to suffering as real to human sense. She says on page 460: "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." Again, on page 386, "Error, not Truth, produces all the suffering on earth."
