In your issue of December 1 appears an article which purports to relate to Christian Science, but which does not explain its real teaching. It would be difficult to conceive of a greater benefit to mankind than an understanding of the Bible from the standpoint of Christian Science. Christian Science is derived from the Bible and therefore is not in conflict with it. It shows that there is a definite distinction between the things that are of God, Life, Truth, and Love, and erroneous human conceptions.

Jesus said plainly, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." He also said, "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing," and Paul said, "These are contrary the one to the other." No subject is of vaster interest to mankind, no benefit of greater import than an understanding of the full meaning of these distinctions. It means the enjoyment of health as against sickness, a present salvation instead of helplessness in resisting sin, and the employment of intelligence as against nonintelligence—matter and material belief. This understanding removes all mystery regarding the resurrection, and explains the personal Jesus as distinguished from the divine Christ.

Christian Science has been accepted by people in many walks of life. Its churches, societies, and organizations at universities and colleges are scattered throughout the world and number more than twenty-six hundred. It has given its students an understanding of the Bible from a scientific standpoint. Its logical reasoning is comprehensible to the child and to the adult. It enables them to heal themselves and others of ailments considered incurable by other methods. Christian Science is in harmony with the teaching of Christ Jesus, and in the degree it is understood it brings forth the fruits he demanded of his followers.
