In his "swan song" in a recent issue the former acting editor of the Open Forum gave an erroneous impression regarding our church. Financial success is not the motive behind Christian Science. The whole trend of Mrs. Eddy's teachings is toward spiritual development and away from the love of money and other forms of materialism. Anyone who has developed spiritually is entitled to prosperity and clean, attractive, harmonious surroundings. Christ Jesus himself wore the finest garment to be obtained; namely, the seamless robe. Should he be criticized for thus proving the bountiful abundance of God? Our religion is founded on the teachings of Christ Jesus, who said, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
