A Reply to a Pamphlet on Christian Science

The writer requested a hearing before the Ministers' Alliance to save them from the humiliation of publishing statements in regard to Christian Science that were both untrue and unjust. The hearing was not granted, and this article is written to correct what surely are unintentional errors.

"What shall we say about Christian Science?" by Rev. Frank S. Bayley, a pamphlet sanctioned by the Ministers' Alliance of this state and widely distributed, contains erroneous statements about Christian Science.

If the pamphlet were a true statement of its teachings, we would agree with its author that it was "vitiated by deadly errors." But it is not a true statement. The author admits that "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker G. Eddy, is the standard textbook, and then quotes several pages from spurious literature, diametrically opposed to the methods of this Science, and makes deductions from these quotations.
