The Hon. C. Augustus Norwood, Committee on Publication for The First Church of Christ, Scientist, Boston, Massachusetts,

Lynn Daily Evening Item

From Letters, Substantially as Published

A recent issue of your paper carried a letter presenting several questions about different diseases, as well as references to the work of the X-ray camera and to the knowledge of medical schools, all intended to refute statements of a Christian Science lecturer that disease is not genuine, but exists in belief, in appearance, or in ignorance, rather than in reality.

In reply to these questions, I wish to assure your correspondent that Christian Scientists admit that all the diseases which he mentions seem real to the material senses. Similarly, the material senses indicate that the sun rises and sets, that the earth is flat, and so on, although all such conclusions are without foundation in fact, or—shall I say—without reality.
