In a recent issue, reference is made to Christian Science in a manner that might be misleading as to its teachings, and therefore I kindly request space for the following brief correction.

A Christian Science treatment is not suggestion, nor an attempt to make the patient imagine he is not sick. A Christian Science treatment is prayer, based upon an understanding of God as the only cause and creator—God who is infinitely good. This understanding of God, and man in the image and likeness of God as recorded in the first chapter of Genesis, enables the student of Christian Science to understand and to prove his divine birthright of freedom and dominion, in accordance with Jesus' statement, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." In the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, writes (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."
