Muncie Morning Star
We commend a speaker's helpful and encouraging effort to turn us to God today, as expressed in a sermon recently published in your paper under the heading, "Grim Realities a Part of Life." However, the speaker's assertion that it is futile for anyone to attempt to relieve humanity from suffering by realizing its unreality was misleading and needs correction.
Jesus healed the blind, the sinner, the sick. Is it not logical to conclude that anything that can be healed is not a grim reality, and that since Jesus healed these conditions, it is in accordance with God's will that they should be destroyed rather than endured? On page 60 of "Miscellaneous Writings" Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, writes, "To regardsin, disease, and death with less deference, and only as the woeful unrealities of being, is the only way to destroy them." She adds, "The Nazarene Prophet could make the unreality of both apparent in a moment."
Those who have embraced this teaching have the greatest compassion for those struggling with sin, sickness, poverty, loss, separation, and the like. They do not shut their eyes to these problems, nor do they expect healing by repeating mere words. They believe that all things are possible with God, and that when Jesus said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free," he meant free from sin and suffering. Therefore, they are turning to God in prayer, expecting answers in the way of relief from these difficulties, and it cannot be denied that many are finding the desired peace and healing.
