Monday evening leaves one, it must be confessed, with a certain: feeling of disappointment. We have no wish to enter into a controversy as to what Christian Science is and is; not. (For that reason it is, perhaps, unfair to challenge a discussion which we could not pursue.) But we cannot help thinking that Christian Scientists err in putting, faith-healing so much in the forefront of their propaganda—or at least, let us say, that the lecturer' on Monday was mistaken, from the point of view of "correcting public misapprehension," in dwelling so much on this part of his subject. No one now disputes the enormous power of mind over matter. But it is very hard to persuade people that faith can, let us say, set a dislocated hip. And judging by what we have been told by some Christian Scientists. whose life and bearing generally were an excellent advertisement (if the phrase may pass) for their creed, faith healing is but one side and that not the most important of the teaching.
