Sir:—Having noticed in a recent issue of your paper certain statements about Christian Science and Christian Scientists, I beg that you will allow reasonable space for clearer information on the subject. In this connection it is right to acknowledge the fairness of our press generally in the consideration of all phases of leading topics.

In the course of the criticism referred to, we find the following true statement, viz.: "This is a free country and one of the fundamental principles of our freedom is the right to worship under our own vine and fig-tree," etc. The concluding clause, however, is not applicable in any degree, inasmuch as Christian Science is emphatically not "a religion or doctrine that jeopardizes the lives of our dear ones." The conception of it as a life-destroyer is a gross misapprehension.
