The October Journal, in which the letter bearing the above title was published, being exhausted, in compliance with requests, we herewith republish the same. This letter was written by a lawyer who has become an earnest student and advocate of Christian Science, to a young friend.
The letter is interesting and instructive, and will, we are sure, be read with profit by all. We gladly give it space.
My Dear Young Friend:—You ask me what Christian Science is. You say it has been under discussion at your school, and that your teacher cannot tell you what it is, although he says it is very strange that any one should believe in such nonsense. There is so much ignorance, if not unfairness, displayed by persons who undertake to explain the teaching of Christian Science from, it may be, a not very friendly standpoint, that it is no wonder many good people are prejudiced against it.
