Fundamental Differences.
By Editor
Mr. Frank W. Gale, publicist for Christian Science, declares that "the fundamental difference between Christian Science and the Bishop's [Fallows] movement, is that the former depends upon the power of God, Divine Mind, for salvation from all sin, and for the healing of every kind of disease as taught and practised by Christ Jesus; while the latter distinguishes between functional and organic diseases, and aims to relieve one by suggestion and mental means, and the other by drugs and other material methods." But it seems to us that there is this fundamental difference between Christian Science and Christianity as taught by Christ Jesus, for He did recognize sin as more than real belief; did recognize that there were material bodies and actual diseases, and also made very clear in His teaching that the power to restore and heal did not exist within, but came from above in answer to faith; and that faith was the laying hold of a power which was above us, eternal and omnipotent, rather than a recognition that that power was already within.
