It has been brought to my notice that in your issue of June 11, under the caption "Pacifism Condemned," a bishop is reported to have said that pacifism is "anti-Christian and as blasphemous as Christian Science."

It is hardly likely, in these days of enlightenment on the subject, when Christian Science is becoming better known to an increasing number of people all over the world—not only for its spiritual teachings but for the wonderful healings of "all manner of sickness and all manner of disease" brought about by its agency—that the bishop's remarks will be taken at all seriously.

The writer, referring to the "pacifist creed," says that it is as blasphemous as Christian Science, which prays for bodily health without having recourse to the means "God has given us for the cure of the body." And yet Christ Jesus never used material means in performing his wonderful healings. Is it blasphemous to endeavor to follow his example?
