Gratitude
for the fresh light that is thrown on the Bible by Science and Health, is often expressed in our churches; and the following account may help to show the wider and more reasonable way in which people learn to read the Bible after becoming interested in Christian Science.

When Christ Jesus healed one who was blind and dumb, the Pharisees said it was done "by Beelzebub the prince of the devils;" but Jesus declared it was "by the Spirit of God" that the healing was effected.
The history of the Christian Science movement and of its Leader plainly shows that she had to blaze the trail for herself, relying solely upon the guidance of the Scriptures and the teaching and demonstration of Jesus the Christ in giving this Science to the world.
I wish to protest against the bad habit to which the press seems to have succumbed, of pitting various other healing methods against that of Christian Science.
