Christian Science starts from the premise that there is one First Cause, self-existent, eternal, infinite; one intelligence or Mind, the Being men call Spirit or God, the Principle of all true existence.
If our critic would rely for his information upon the Christian Science text-book, and the authorized publications, he would learn that Christian Scientists do believe most definitely in the atonement—the reconciliation of man to God through Christ Jesus the Wayshower—and that if they have no outward ritual or ceremonial it is because they believe most implicitly that "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Whatever criticisms may be indulged in by the opponents of Christian Science in their efforts to discredit its claims to the serious consideration of mankind, it cannot be denied that Christ employed neither drugs, electricity, hypnotism, nor autosuggestion in his healing work, relying exclusively upon the truth, love, and power of God as the efficient remedy for all the ills that flesh is heir to.
It is quite obvious that a man who knows the truth about a mistake is in a position to correct that mistake, and it is equally clear that a man who does not understand the method whereby the mistake is corrected, is not in a position to criticize the method.
