LETTERS TO THE PRESS FROM CHRISTIAN SCIENCE COMMITTEES ON PUBLICATION

Daily News Tribune

Fullerton, California Daily News Tribune

A brief advertisement of a minister's sermon on the church page included several untrue statements about the teachings of Christian Science which should be corrected. Your courtesy in giving space to this letter will therefore be appreciated.

Does Christian Science deny "the existence of sin," as the minister claimed? ... It considers sin, as well as sickness, as having no divine origin and describes it therefore as unreal. It has no more reality than a mistake in arithmetic. But, as in mathematical calculations, the claim to reality cannot be ignored. Sin must be discerned and destroyed. The power of God, which is absolute in nature, wipes it out through prayer.
