Judge Clifford P. Smith, Committee on Publication for The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts,—Washington, District of Columbia

New Age

In your issue for February, a contributor quoted or used most of the following words without giving credit for them to the author: "Happiness is spiritual, born of Truth and Love. It is unselfish; therefore it cannot exist alone, but requires all mankind to share it." This quotation is from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 57) by Mary Baker Eddy.

In the same issue there was an answer to a question which quoted a former By-law of Mrs. Eddy's church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, which expressly excepted Freemasonry from a rule against members of this church joining other organizations. As this By-law was afterward amended, it is worded in general terms, without any mention of Freemasonry. As the By-law in question is now worded, it leaves each member of this church to decide for himself about joining any particular organization. It is quite true, however, that Mrs. Eddy regarded Masonry favorably.
