Panama Star and Herald

In the November 29th issue of the Star and Herald, there appeared an article which stated: "Formal Christianity has collapsed. Its days are numbered. Its adherents have become divided into innumerable new sects. Spiritualism, newthought, Christian Science, and the like—each of which has all but denied the teachings of the church, and has adopted beliefs which, generally speaking, are of Islamic origin."

The author likened Christian Science to spiritualism and new-thought, but it has nothing in common with either of these sects. There is a chapter in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, which is entitled, "Christian Science versus Spiritualism." This chapter dispels any belief that Christian Science is in any way related to spiritualism.

Christian Science does not deny the teachings of the church, if that term means the church that Jesus established on the spiritual foundation of Christ-healing. Jesus' life, works, and teachings were the exemplification of the divine law, as visioned by the ancient prophets. Christian Science is demonstrating that this law is ever operative.
