Toronto (Ont.) Star
The following letter from H. F. Porter, the high jumper who joined the Irish-Canadian A. C. last week, is self explanatory:—
The name of the writer has frequently been coupled with Christian Science in connection with athletics, and in a New York daily recently, what purported to be an interview with him was published, in which he ascribed his success to his belief. It was also stated that "he does no training for his special event, relying altogether on the tenets of his faith."
It will be needless to say—to those who are familiar with the facts, or who comprehend the teachings of Christian Science—that the statements accredited to the writer have no authority whatever, and though conceived evidently in a well-meaning spirit, they nevertheless show a misapprehension of the fundamental concepts of Christian Science. In justice, therefore, and to correct false impressions, he is constrained to offer a reply. In what follows he will endeavor to show the relation of Christian Science to athletic accomplishment, as it appears in the light of his experience.
