That
obedience is not a question of personal choice but an eternal law of Spirit, ever operative in consciousness, is clearly discernible through a study of the By-laws of The Mother Church.
In a recent issue of your paper, under the title "The Library Table," there appeared a quotation concerning Christian Science, from a book that was being reviewed, which needs correction.
My attention has just been drawn to two reports of sermons that have appeared in your columns in which the teachings of Christian Science are incorrectly set forth, and I would appreciate your courtesy in granting space for correction.
In a sermon delivered by a clergyman at the Tabernacle Church, and reported in your paper, is a statement classifying Christian Science with what is called "applied psychology" and other forms of mysticism.
He
who aspires to self-government and final demonstration of eternal life, by conforming to divine laws, soon learns that spiritual understanding is the only intelligent basis of procedure and achievement, and that the nonintelligence of mere belief is as the shifting sand, baseless and without the ability to win success.
After
commencing the study of Christian Science we soon begin to realize that God really loves us and cares for us and wants us always to be happy and well, and that He does not—as we used to think—send us anything to make us sick, unhappy, or afraid.
