In a recent issue you publish a letter in which the writer tries to bring into ridicule a statement of mine published in your paper, setting forth the extensive nature of the healing of disease continually being performed through the ministrations of Christian Science. I am sure, however, that the writer himself rejoices in the healings that have been and are being performed, though he may not understand how they have been brought about.

In answer to his comments, however, I wish to assure him that Christian Scientists recognize that disease seems real to the material senses. But these senses are not dependable witnesses to the realities of existence.

Mrs. Eddy discovered what Jesus knew, and what the Bible teaches, namely, that God created man in His own image and likeness, and that all that He made was "very good." God is Spirit, so man in the image and likeness of God must be spiritual and not material. God could not create anything unlike Himself, so materiality, sin, sickness, and death cannot be any part of His perfect and spiritual creation, and cannot be real.
