The letter, in your recent issue, signed "Local Veto" contained remarks on Christian Science which call for correction. "In these days," your correspondent writes, "people only attend churches where their consciences are lulled to sleep by faddism, such as spiritualism, Christian Science, Mormonism, and other odds and ends." Christian Science is not a fad. It is the revelation of Truth to this age. It is the Comforter promised by Christ Jesus. It becomes a vital force in the lives of earnest students, uplifting, purifying, sweetening the thought and enabling these students to demonstrate the healing power of the divine Mind. Christian Science awakens earnest students to higher and truer views of life and living, giving them

"The freer step, the fuller breath,
The wide horizon's grander view."

They go to church not to be "lulled to sleep," but because they love to go. As a rule Christian Science churches are well filled, and many can testify to the spiritual uplifting and healing which they have experienced both at these services and at the testimony meetings. Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, has written in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 342): "Christian Science awakens the sinner, reclaims the infidel, and raises from the couch of pain the helpless invalid.... Who would be the first to disown the Christliness of good works, when our Master says, 'By their fruits ye shall know them'?"
