Questions Answered

From the November 1886 issue of The Christian Science Journal

This article was later republished in Miscellaneous Writings 1883-1896: Mis. 78:7-79:25


"Can Christian Science Mind-healing be taught to people who are absent?"

This science of Mind-healing can no more be taught thus than Science in any other direction. I know not how to teach Euclid or the science of Mind silently, and never dreamed that either of these partook of the nature of occultism, magic, alchemy, or necromancy. These "ways that are vain" are the inventions of animal magnetism, which would deceive, if possible, the very elect. We will charitably hope, however, that some people employ the etcetera of ignorance and self-conceit unwittingly, in their witless ventilation of false statements and claims. Misguiding the public on the subject of Mind healing, and taking their money for this abuse, and what has become so common, is the froth of error passing off, and Christian Science will some time appear all the clearer for this filth that has been poured into it.
