Mrs. Eddy's Views

Editor with contributions from Mrs. Eddy

The Boston Journal

Concord, N. H., August 13.—An eminent lawyer of Baltimore, Maryland, John Henry Keene, has recently written and published a booklet entitled "Christian Science and its Enemies," in which he startlingly condemns the pulpit's unjust attacks upon Rev. Mary Baker G. Eddy and Christian Science.

A representative of the press called on Mrs. Eddy to inquire as to her indorsement of this book. In reply she said:

"Upon reading the grand preface of Mr. Keene's book, I laid it aside from lack of time just then, and sent my compliments to the author with an order for said book. After perusing his book thoroughly, I changed my opinion, not of the author's talents, scholarship, and high intent (although I have never seen him), but of the advisability of publishing the book and immediately requested the parties to discontinue publishing it in its present form of treating the subject. I did this solely because the author's vehemence in denouncing the pulpit's furious attacks upon me was not consonant with my Christian sentiment. It is written of our great Master whose life and teachings furnish my model, that when he was reviled, he reviled not again."
