In a recent issue, your contributor of the article "Religion and Life" refers to Christian Science. While the kindly tone of his remarks is much appreciated, it would not be right to leave your readers with the impression that Christian Science is a system of "faith-healing," and for this reason I shall be grateful if you will kindly allow me space for an explanation.

Christian Science, as its name implies, is the Science of Christianity, and its mission among mankind is to reveal the truth concerning God, man, and the universe. In its teaching is found the full explanation of the Science by which Christ Jesus healed the sick, raised the dead, walked on the water, and performed many other works mysterious to the human mind. Mary Baker Eddy has written in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 83), "Nothing is more antagonistic to Christian Science than a blind belief without understanding, for such a belief hides Truth and builds on error."

Christ Jesus told his disciples that he had "Yet many things to say," but that they could not bear them, and he told them that there would come the "Comforter," the "Spirit of truth," and that by its coming all truth should be revealed. Christian Science has come into the world in fulfillment of these prophecies, and the fact that it has restored to humanity primitive Christian healing is evidence of its divine origin and authority.
