For fifteen centuries the churches
and for thirty years oar critic, as he
asserts it, have been the disciples of
Christ, following in His footsteps, but
they have been obeying only one-half
Of His command. The Masters com
mand to heal the sick is as imperative
as to preach the gospel. In fact, neal
, ing the sick as He healed them, is the
convincing proof of their spiritual uu-
deTstanding.
Why are they not fully the followers
Of Christ?
They can easily read the require

works then these shall he do because l

Our critic says, Christian Science is
a religion without a personal God.
In tne text book, page ll6, Mrs. Ed
dy says: "Christian Science strongly
emphasizes the thought that God is not
corporeal, but iucorporeal, that is, bod
iless. Mortals are eorpOreal, but God
is incorporeal. If the term personality
as applied to God means infinite per
sonality, then God is infinite Person,
in the sense of infinite personality, but
not in the lower sense
But our critic says he has read this
text book, Science and Health, four t
times carefully and he does not under .
stand ii. He evidently read it in vain. ,
To read it for criticism and fault find Z
ing he could not expect to get the 1
meaning of its author. What results
could be expected by one wanting to c
learn mathematics who reproached the ;
author of the arithmetic he was at 4
tempting to study and denied the prin- o
'lple of numbers and its rules?
There are many thousands of peo- r
pie in all the walks of life who daily n
read and study Science and Health, G.
