Correction prepared by Israel Pickens, Committee on Publication for the State of Alabama,—which was read over Station WMFO, Decatur, Alabama

I wish to thank the management of this Broadcasting Station for the privilege of correcting a statement made by a minister recently over this station when he said substantially, "There are many who blaspheme the Holy Ghost and turn many simple seekers away from the spirit of God, such as Christian Scientists, etc."

The minister who made the above statement concerning the religion of Christian Science evidently has been misinformed as to its teachings, and because of this fact he has undoubtedly allowed prejudice to actuate his criticism. While Christian Scientists regret the necessity of having to make correction of incorrect statements concerning their religion, yet it would constitute an imposition upon the public to allow such to go unnoticed and uncorrected.

Christian Science is exactly what the term implies: (1) it is Christian, because it is the true teachings of Christ Jesus, and (2) it is Science, because it is knowable, demonstrable. The Master recognized the scientific nature of Christianity when he said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Thus, to know or understand the Christ, Truth, is to be able to prove—demonstrate—Truth. The ministry of Christ Jesus included works of healing of all sorts of evil—sin, disease, poverty, and even the raising of the dead. The Master promised that those who believed on him—that is, understood the Christ, Truth—would be able to do the same works which he did.
