In reply to a writer in your issue of August 31, kindly allow me to state that the proper title of the Christian Science church, founded by Mary Baker Eddy, is The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, U. S. A., known as The Mother Church.

This church with its branches all over the civilized globe is, through the destruction of sin and sickness, performing a mighty work for mankind. The carnal so-called mind, ever anxious to destroy its destroyer, would fain attempt to separate the divine message from the inspired messenger so that the message might be adulterated and rendered fruitless. Christian Scientists everywhere rejoice that all such attempts are doomed to failure. The following words, written by Mrs. Eddy in 1896 (Miscellaneous Writings, p. 383), are true to-day:

"In 1896 it goes without saying, preeminent over ignorance or envy, that Christian Science is founded by its discoverer, and built upon the rock of Christ. The elements of earth beat in vain against the immortal parapets of this Science. Erect and eternal, it will go on with the ages, go down the dim posterns of time unharmed, and on every battle-field rise higher in the estimation of thinkers, and in the hearts of Christians."
