Miami (Okla.) Record-Herald
In a recent issue of the Record-Herald there appeared an advertisement under the caption, "Is the Bible Wrong? Christian Science vs. Bible," followed by a series of quotations from the Bible and the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. The apparent object of the interrogatories and comparisons taken from Mrs. Eddy's book is to discredit the teachings of Christian Science by the use of brief excerpts and incomplete sentences, destroying the full meaning contained in a given paragraph. Our critics need only to turn to page 497 of Science and Health, and there read the religious tenets of the Christian Science organization; in particular, the first and third tenets, which read as follows:
"As adherents of Truth, we take the inspired Word of the Bible as our sufficient guide to eternal Life."
"We acknowledge God's forgiveness of sin in the destruction of sin and the spiritual understanding that casts out evil as unreal. But the belief in sin is punished so long as the belief lasts."
