Kindly grant me space to correct a misstatement about Christian Science, made at a meeting on Thursday.

As reported in the South China Morning Post yesterday, the speaker, when discussing hypnotism said: "The Christian Scientists are using it [hypnotism] for the curing of diseases:" a statement which is entirely incorrect.

In the Holy Bible, the use of what is now known as hypnotism is categorically condemned, and Christian Science, which is based on the Scriptures, rigorously rejects the practice of hypnotism in the same manner.

Mrs. Eddy, in her textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," on page xi of the Preface says: "The physical healing of Christian Science results now, as in Jesus' time, from the operation of divine Principle, before which sin and disease lose their reality in human consciousness and disappear as naturally and as necessarily as darkness gives place to light and sin to reformation. Now, as then, these mighty works are not supernatural, but supremely natural. They are the sign of Immanuel, or 'God with us,'—a divine influence ever present in human consciousness."
