In a Christmas message on the subject of "Peace, Peace, Peace," statements were made which do not express a Christmas spirit toward Christian Science and toward its Discoverer and Founder, Mary Baker Eddy.

That Mrs. Eddy's teachings ignore sin and the necessity of overcoming it, as the clergyman implied in his message, is utterly false. Christian Science demands that sin in all its forms shall be exterminated. The warfare against sin in himself and in others, is the cross which the Christian Scientist bears, in accordance with the teachings of the Master. The Christian's cross may not be laid down until, step by step, sin is overcome.

Mrs. Eddy says in "Retrospection and Introspection" (p. 56): "War is waged between the evidences of Spirit and the evidences of the five physical senses; and this contest must go on until peace be declared by the final triumph of Spirit in immutable harmony. Divine Science disclaims sin, sickness, and death, on the basis of the omnipotence and omnipresence of God, or divine good."
