In your excellent article The Question of OmnipotenceEditorial Note: "The Question of Omnipotence" appeared in the May 21, 1904, issue of the Christian Science Sentinel. you contradict your assertions. Pardon me, but reread it and you will find you wrote As Written: wote that evil is not "something that enjoys, suffers or is real" Then again you speak of evil "as a mirage that misleads the traveler"

Who is the traveler that is misled and must suffer for it? Who but the evil so-called, and does not evil destroy itself through its own lie, namely, a belief in evil, sin, suffering and death? Yes it does, in beliefAs Written:belif, and to sever it from this doom would be an evil of itself

In haste
Lovingly
