To the Editor of the "Norra-Cama Dairy News."
Simmz,—In Cathedral Notes of Saturday's issue of your paper, the writer referred to Christian Science as completely -ignoring sin as a factor in individual and social life, a misstatement of Christian Science which we would like to correct, Christian Science does not excuse or ignore sin. It exposes the real nature of sin as a belief in evil, called by Jesus, 'a liar," amd never attributable to God, "who made all that was made, and behold it was very good," and who is of purer eyes than to behold evil.""
Sin, according to Christian Science, is wrong thinking and believing, a belief in an evil power that can control and influence man in ways that are not God's ways, and that deceive him into believing, that real pleasure is found in wickedness, In "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, page 447, we read "A sinner ig not reformed merely by assuring him that he cannot be a sinner because there is no sin. To put down the claim of sin you must. detect it, remove the mask, point out the illusion, and thus get the victory over sin, and so prove its unreality," and on page 339, "Only those who repent of sin and forsake the unreal can fully understand the unreality of evil."
Christian Scientists are starving to demonstrate in thought and deed the supremacy of the one living true God, for No man can serve two masters," and through their understanding of Him to meet and destroy the belief in any power apart from Him,—to overcome evil with good; in other words, to let that consciousness of God's allness be in them which was also in Christ Jesus.
