In reply to "A.L.'s" further criticism of Christian Science, I must say that the assertions he makes against Christian Science are entirely unfounded. Many forms of chronic and acute disease have been healed through this teaching. Thoroughly attested testimonies of healing are to be found both weekly and monthly in the Christian Science periodicals.

The first of six religious Tenets of Christian Science belies the critic's assertion that it is not based upon the Bible. This tenet reads as follows: "As adherents of Truth, we take the inspired Word of the Bible as our sufficient guide to eternal Life" (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 497).

It is perfectly true that the dead were raised by the power of God, which was understood and utilized by Christ Jesus and his apostles. That the Master expected all his followers to heal the sick is clearly indicated by his statements as recorded in John 14:12.
