From Letters, Substantially as Published

Your issue of February 22 carried a printed excerpt from a sermon delivered by the pastor of St. Peter's Evangelical Church, in which your readers were given the impression that the world is "in a sorry state and a desperate plight." Our reverend friend offered no specific remedy for this alleged situation. He simply released a series of "what is the reason for all this suffering" queries and asked your readers to consider the attitude expressed by the Stoic, Buddhist, and Christian Scientist, with an observation relative to Christian Science which revealed an ignorance of its teaching on the subject of reality.

Now, the teaching of what is real and what is only apparent in Christian Science is not, as our critic observed, a subject "too superficial for words." What Christian Science teaches about reality as a spiritual fact is based on the teaching and practice of Christ Jesus. The Master healed sin, sickness, and death among the people; and when he destroyed these disorders, which he did through his understanding that God and His spiritual creation are real, eternal, and good, he forever established the great fact that sin, sickness, and death are but human beliefs—unreal concepts—having no place nor presence in God's perfect divine universe, or in the consciousness of man, God's image.
