The News

It is evident from an article in The News that "Uncle Dave" completely misunderstood the teaching of Christian Science as given at a lecture which he recently attended in your city. To claim that Mrs. Eddy's writings repeat the thoughts that have been expressed by others, except as found in the Bible, is simply to claim that she is not the Discoverer of Christian Science—a claim which every Christian Scientist knows to be false. It is expressly stated by "Uncle Dave" that the difference between Mrs. Eddy and the authors he names is that Mrs. Eddy's writings refer to the Bible and the others do not. This should completely differentiate her writings from the others, because there is nothing in literature which even approximates the spiritual insight coupled with the power to overcome all manner of disease and discord that is in the Bible, except the writings of the Discoverer of Christian Science. On page 110 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," the Christian Science text-book, Mrs. Eddy herself has stated, "In following these leadings of scientific revelation, the Bible was my only text-book."
