In your issue of Tuesday, excerpts are quoted in your editorial from a paper presented at the recent convention of the Medical Association of Georgia, in which "cult" healing was criticized, as having "cut very heavily into the practice and revenues of the general practitioner."

It is a fair inference that a somewhat veiled attack on the teaching and practice of Christian Science was intended by the by the author of the paper in question. That your readers may not receive a wrong impression of what Christian Science teaches, I ask the privilege of your columns to explain that the practice of Christian Science includes vastly more than merely imparting an "abundance of enthusiasm and self-reliance, which quicken latent energies," due to a "dynamic force," as is ascribed to such healing by the medical paper under consideration.

Briefly, Christian Science offers a scientific and demonstrable understanding of God's spiritual, healing law. Great numbers of people in nearly every part of the world are turning to it and are being healed by its practice, which consists solely in reliance on prayer, or spiritual communion with God, to heal the sick and reform the sinner. Through earnest study of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, together with the Holy Bible, one may learn of this law. Christ Jesus understood and applied it in healing "all manner of disease," and Christian Science has been doing the same for over sixty years, proof of which is available to all. Some of the most eminent religious men of the world bear witness to the healing power of God's law as applied through Christian Science. Many noted medical men also have held Christian Science in high esteem.
