MRS. EDDY'S ACTIVITY SHOWN
New York American
This article was later republished in The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany: My. 317:1-319:10
Mr. Alfred Farlow's article in the New York American needs correction. It was a great mistake to say that I employed Rev. James Henry Wiggin to correct my diction. It was for no such purpose. I engaged Mr. Wiggin so as to avail myself of his criticisms of my statement of Christian Science, which criticisms would enable me to explain more clearly the points that might seem ambiguous to the reader.
Mr. Calvin A. Frye copied my writings, and he will tell you that Mr. Wiggin left my diction quite out of the question, sometimes saying, "I wouldn't express it that way." He often dissented to what I had written, but I quieted him by quoting corroborative texts of Scripture.
In Christian Science my diction has been called original. The liberty that I have taken with capitalization, in order to express the "new tongue," has well-nigh constituted a new style of language. In almost every case where Mr. Wiggin added words, I have erased them in my revisions.
