Wesleyan Cardinal
The space given to the subject of religion in your February issue is so generous, and the thoughts expressed by the writers are so generally pleasing, that a request for space in an early issue of the Wesleyan Cardinal for a statement from a Christian Scientist should be favorably received. The specific reference to Christian Science in the article "Religion vs. Religion" is especially significant, since the writer in a later paragraph gives his own "idea of a genuine religion," which coincides with the Christian Science concept. Hundreds of thousands throughout the world have found in Christian Science a religion capable of being cultivated to that degree where it brings the individual comfort in sorrow, in despair, in physical pain, and in every extremity of any nature (to paraphrase the words of your contributor).
The Founder of Christianity was considered "fantastic and basically unsound," and was referred to by his enemies as "this fellow." Yet, the teachings of Christ Jesus are the foundation of the Christian religion, and are accepted in their entirety by Christian Scientists. They rest on a definite, demonstrable Principle. Christian Scientists "take the inspired Word of the Bible" as their "sufficient guide to eternal Life" (Science and Health, p. 497).
In her textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mary Baker Eddy has written among many illuminating passages the following (p. 25): "Jesus taught the way of Life by demonstration, that we may understand how this divine Principle heals the sick, casts out error, and triumphs over death. Jesus presented the ideal of God better than could any man whose origin was less spiritual. By his obedience to God, he demonstrated more spiritually than all others the Principle of being. Hence the force of his admonition, 'If ye love me. keep my commandments.'"
