Christian Scientists

Correction Asked for Regarding their Belief and Membership.

Lewis B. Coates

Daily Enquirer

Editor Provo Enquirer:—In behalf of fairness to all readers of your paper, we ask you kindly to publish the following so as to correct the false impressions that would go out from statements made in an article that appeared in the issue dated January 21, 1899, by Rev. J. C. Andrews.

1. There are more than one million Christian Scientists instead of seventy thousand as given by the article referred to.

2. Christian Scientists believe in the immaculate conception of Jesus. They believe and teach that God was his father and Mary his earthly mother, and that Joseph was not his earthly father, for the simple reason that he had none.
