An evangelist, whose address was advertised in your newspaper, gave a very confused idea of what Christian Science teaches. May I have space for a brief reply?

The statement is frequently made that Christian Science is hard to understand. If it seems so, it is because false concepts must be put out of thought as new ones are received. Children can and do understand Christian Science, and through their understanding receive its healing benefits.

The evangelist gave the impression that Christian Scientists give more heed to the teaching of Mary Baker Eddy than to the Word of God. The truth is that Christian Scientists are devoted students of the Bible as their Leader was; and they prove by their healing works, patterned on those of Jesus and his disciples, that demonstration or the answer to prayer is Immanuel, or "God with us."
