In a recent issue of the Bee, a writer, commenting on the various interpretations that might be given to the Bible if permitted to be read in public schools, states that "a Christian Scientist will say that there is no death nor resurrection." Christian Science teaches that the man of God's creating is not subject to death, and that death, which entered in, as the Bible teaches, as the result of sin, will cease through the overcoming of sin and ignorance; or, as Paul states it, "The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death." The statement that Christian Science teaches there is no resurrection is a gross misstatement of the fact. Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, on page 317 of her book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," writes: "Our Lord and Master presented himself to his disciples after his resurrection from the grave, as the self-same Jesus whom they had loved before the tragedy on Calvary." And on page 593 of the same book, "resurrection" is defined as "spiritualization of thought; a new and higher idea of immortality, or spiritual existence; material belief yielding to spiritual understanding."
