There appeared in a recent issue of your paper a brief report of an address delivered by a bishop before the Colorado Bar Association, the subject of the address being "The Muddle of Civilization." The reverend doctor, among other things, was reported as saying, "One wonders how films produced . . . can turn . . . William Jennings Bryan and Mary Baker Eddy into expounders of scientific truth." Verily, Mary Baker Eddy was an expounder of scientific truth, but the production of a film has in no wise raised her to that position. The bishop may have seen a film production that touched on the subject of Christian Science, but the Christian Science organization was not responsible for it. The methods of bringing to the public the truth as taught in Christian Science were established by the Leader and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, some of which are its authorized literature, its church services, Reading Rooms, and Board of Lectureship.

Mary Baker Eddy, a student of the Bible from her childhood, a devout and consecrated seeker after the Word of God, was well equipped and qualified to give to the world her discovery of scientific truth, which is founded on the teachings of the master Metaphysician, Christ Jesus. Her rediscovery of this new-old truth has brought regeneration, spiritually, mentally, morally, physically, and financially, to thousands of her followers. In her book "No and Yes" (p. 10), she says: "The two largest words in the vocabulary of thought are 'Christian' and 'Science.' The former is the highest style of man; the latter reveals and interprets God and man; it aggregates, amplifies, unfolds, and expresses the All-God. The life of Christ is the predicate and postulate of all that I teach, and there is but one standard statement, one rule, and one Principle for all scientific truth."
