Bulletin

Your correspondent, "Extreme Sufferer," in the Bulletin of June 2, refers to "A. J.'s" statement that "Christian Science is accountable for millions being led astray," and then details his own experience of that teaching, which has been sometimes good and at other times disappointing.

We know that any science can only be applied and demonstrated according to the student's understanding of the subject and compliance with its rules. Christian Science makes the same demand for understanding of its basic propositions, and also for steadfast obedience to its rules. Those who come to Christian Science for healing need likewise to be receptive to its teaching and obedient to its rules.

In Matthew 13:58 we read that in his own home town Jesus was unable to do "many mighty works there because of their unbelief;" and in Matthew 17:20 the Master explained the failure of his disciples to heal a certain case in the same way, "because of [their] unbelief," or lack of sufficient understanding.
