In my first letter in answer to the critic I pointed out that he had most seriously misrepresented the teachings of Christian Science on the very important question of sin.
In a recent issue there appears a letter by a member of the medical profession which without warrant in fact misrepresents the teachings of Christian Science.
My attention has been drawn to a letter appearing in the Sind Gazette regarding the experience of one of the officers of the Titanic at the time the vessel was wrecked, in which the question is raised as to whether people believing in Christian Science alone are saved from harm.
The critic made use in his first letter of two specific arguments: the antagonism of Christian Scientists to doctors, and their insistence on the unreality of evil and matter.
When
we first begin to work in Christian Science, we find a task confronting us which requires unbounded patience and persistence, the task of replacing the slovenly, illogical, confused, sinful thoughts and thinking processes of the carnal mind, by the orderly, logical, right thinking of divine Mind.
Christian Science
teaches that in order to comprehend God aright, and to understand our divine sonship, our eternal unity with God, thought must be freed from false trusts and the erroneous conclusions resulting therefrom.
