Gen. A. Kundinger, former Committee on Publication for Germany,

Hamburger Anzeiger

In an article in the Hamburger Anzeiger of September 17, it is written: "The [Christian Science] church teaches that pain and sickness do not really exist, but exist only in our imagination, and therefore can be overcome by a strong Christian-ethical attitude."

This statement misrepresents Christian Science teaching. The Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, says on this point (p. 460): "Sickness is neither imaginary nor unreal,—that is, to the frightened, false sense of the patient. Sickness is more than fancy; it is solid conviction. It is therefore to be dealt with through right apprehension of the truth of being."
