Gen. A. Kundinger, former Committee on Publication for Germany,
In an article in the Hamburger Anzeiger of September 17, it is written: "The [Christian Science] church teaches that pain and sickness do not really exist, but exist only in our imagination, and therefore can be overcome by a strong Christian-ethical attitude.
The
understanding of the teachings of Christian Science, even in a small degree, brings such a sense of peace and security that in these days of turmoil there is little wonder that Christian Science churches are often filled with eager listeners, seeking the truth about God and man.
In
endeavoring to free himself from the illusion of life and intelligence in matter, the student of Christian Science is often unnecessarily retarded in his progress because he continues to rely on or fear this illusion.
B. Tatham Woodhead, Committee on Publication for Lancashire, England,
The one point in question in my correspondence is whether Christian Science is based on the Bible, and not whether Christian Science is in agreement with what your correspondent considers the Bible to teach.
