"Medicus," in his interesting article on "The Slavery of Fear" and its baneful effects on the body, as published in your newspaper recently, refers to Christian Science.

While it is gratifying to note how more readily today the causative and healing factors of disease are being recognized as primarily mental, it is giving your readers a wrong view of Christian Science to say that its followers are healed through faith in a supernatural power. And so may I be allowed to make the necessary clarification?

The greatest healer of the body the world has ever known was Christ Jesus. He did not teach faith in a supernatural power, but in the power of God as being available to heal the sick and the sinner. His teaching is just as practical today as then, and is the method used in Christian Science.
