Letters

From the August 1887 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Mr. Seymour's timely article in the June number, we were glad to see. The book he speaks of guarantees to teach everything about healing, without the least assistance from reason, good sense, learning, or the trouble of study. By this contrivance, one may become proficient in the healing trade, just by dropping a few dollars into a box blindfolded. It appears right before him in the dark, like Hamlet's ghost.

No sensible person can deny the utility of such a system, in these days of labor-saving machines. There is no excuse why anyone should try to get along without such an outfit.

We hear that everybody is going into the business of healing. Why not, if we can become rich in wisdom and metaphysical lore, by just shutting our eyes? Opening the mouth, something drops into it, the very instant the gold eagles roll into the box; and this something is making us healthy, wealthy, and wise.
