The attitude of thinking men and women towards religion is undergoing a great change. Your correspondent is evidently one who does not easily welcome these changes, preferring to defend old landmarks rather than go forward on to unfamiliar ground. I would remind him, however, that throughout the Bible we learn how the understanding of God as Spirit and Love was progressively revealed to spiritually-minded men and women, and how willingly they accepted the truer and higher views of Deity. In her book "Miscellaneous Writings" Mrs. Eddy writes on page 232: "This age is reaching out towards the perfect Principle of things; is pushing towards perfection in art, invention, and manufacture. Why, then, should religion be stereotyped, and we not obtain a more perfect and practical Christianity?"

In my previous letter I referred to the healing work done in Christian Science and the unanswerable logic of its teaching. The healing work done by Christian Science is not a matter of words, but can be proved by any earnest investigator.
