In reply to a clergyman's statement that in Christian Science the word "reality" is used in a slipshod way, may I point out the injustice of this remark since Mrs. Eddy invariably speaks of "reality" as denoting all that belongs to God and His perfect creation, and in no other sense does she employ the word. On this sure foundation—the perfectibility of God's creation—she builds all her arguments against sin and sickness, and on this spiritual basis she was enabled to heal with scientific certainty every discordant condition of human life.

On page 470 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" Mrs. Eddy writes: "If God, or good, is real, then evil, the unlikeness of God, is unreal. And evil can only seem to be real by giving reality to the unreal."

The Apostle John says that the mission of the "Son of God" was to "destroy the works of the devil." Can we believe that Christ Jesus lived to destroy anything real or Godcreated? He spoke of devil, evil, as a murderer and a liar with no truth in him.
