Knoxville Journal
My attention has just been called to an article in the Journal of June 14, which contains two incidental references to Christian Science that call for correction. Please, therefore, permit me to make a brief reply.
No. 1. The teaching of Christian Science concerning disease in no sense ignores human discord as a phase of mortal experience which needs to be recognized for what it is and overcome. That Christian Scientists do not flippantly disregard disease, contagious or otherwise, is shown by the fact that they are having no small part in its alleviation and destruction.
It is generally admitted that God is good, and that "without him was not any thing made that was made." Common logic therefore indicates that the only creator did not make evil. This refutes the belief that mortal discords are God-made entities. This in turn forces the conclusion that, regardless of how real evil may appear in human experience, it is not a reality in the absolute sense. Just as ignorance disappears with the introduction of education, so inharmony will fade away in proportion to our understanding of the spiritual nature of God and His universe. Both ignorance and inharmony appear very real until destroyed, but one is no more a fixed fact than is the other. It may safely be said that whatever is destructible is no part of God's creation, which the wise man says "shall be for ever."
