William H. Coomber, Committee on Publication for Bedfordshire, England,
I observe in your issue of October 22 an account of a lecture on faith-healing by a professor, in which a reference is made to Christian Science as follows: "Christian Science, he said, was a great healing movement, and he did not doubt that the original idea came from an American doctor, who came to the conclusion that the mind could do more than medicine.
It
has frequently been remarked that Christian Scientists are recognizable by their uniformly happy attitude toward life, and their more than ordinary appreciation of whatever of good may enter their experience.
When
Job in his extremity cried, concerning God, "Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!" he epitomized the longing of humanity throughout the ages for the assurance of God's care and protection.
The
earnest student of Christian Science may often find himself tempted to believe that his efforts are in vain, and that he cannot grasp the spiritual meaning of what he reads.
