In the issue of February 24 of your good daily, a clergyman in your city is reported as having made a statement in a recent sermon to the effect that the devil is misleading countless thousands by tempting the sick to ignore the means God has placed at their disposal and seek help from Christian Science.

Should anyone say that a religion based on the Bible, having Scriptural authority, and healing physically, morally, and spiritually, is not of God? A passage from the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, reads (p. 355):

"The statement that the teachings of Christian Science in this work are 'absolutely false, and the most egregious fallacies ever offered for acceptance,' is an opinion wholly due to a misapprehension both of the divine Principle and practice of Christian Science and to a consequent inability to demonstrate this Science. Without this understanding, no one is capable of impartial or correct criticism, because demonstration and spiritual understanding are God's immortal keynotes, proved to be such by our Master and evidenced by the sick who are cured and by the sinners who are reformed."
