Our critic seriously objects to Mrs. Eddy's interpretations of the teachings of Christ and states: "The teachings of Christ are self-explanatory. They are intelligible today.

In view of this statement it seems strange to the ordinary observer that there are about one hundred and fifty-seven Christian denominations, each of them based upon a different interpretation of the Bible teachings. Every Christian denomination is quite insistent in its stand that it is right and that all others are lacking in some respects.

There is therefore need of an interpretation of Scripture which is practical, logical, satisfactory, and demonstrable, upon which these varying theories may unite in the demonstration of the exact Science of Christianity as Jesus taught it. "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy has given this interpretation, which is being proven to the complete satisfaction of hundreds of thousands of people of at least average intelligence and spiritual attainment. On page 320 of the above mentioned book Mrs. Eddy states, "The one important interpretation of Scripture is the spiritual."
