ABSTRACT
Christian Science has a considerable group of authorized publications and a well-conducted department of publicity. Christian Science is offered as a philosophy, a theology, a religion and a method for the practical conduct of life and it needs to be considered under each of these four heads. If the God of Christian Science be taken merely as the exaltation of an abstract idealism or a philosophic Absolute everything would be secured which is otherwise secured. Christian Science affirms love and goodness to be the ultimate qualities of the divine Mind, but it meets the problem of sin and evil by denying them any reality at all. Beyond all this is the fact of which "Science and Health" takes no account, the conditioning of conscious life and working experience by its material environment however conceived. Christian Science denies the testimony of the senses as to sickness and yet accepts them as to health.
