LETTERS TO THE PRESS FROM CHRISTIAN SCIENCE COMMITTEES ON PUBLICATION

I was pleased to read in your [paper] ... of the interest of the Home Mission Committee of the Congregational Union of Scotland in spiritual healing. The committee, I notice, follows the popular trend of encouraging doctors and clergy to work together. In general terms, this means that it advocates a unison of Spirit with matter in healing. ... But our Lord healed by spiritual means alone, and taught his followers to do the same! Should we take them to task for their high fidelity?

Christian Science does not expose people to suffering by its exclusive reliance on the same spiritual laws. On the contrary, a great number of folk today are grateful to Christian Science for its courageous practice of primitive Christian healing, for it has meant that they have not been left hopeless "with the whole head sick, and the whole heart faint," if first medicine, then the combination of medicine and psychiatry, have failed to heal them.
