"Antipas" writing on Christian Science in your issue of August 9th is both unreasonable and illogical. To begin with, he has not discerned the difference between the first and second chapters of Genesis. There are two different accounts of creation given in these—the first spiritual, the second material. The first begins with the words, "Let there be light." It declares all God's work to be "very good" and man, male and female, to be created in God's own image and likeness. The second begins by referring to a mist or mystification, and then proceeds to give an account of a formation by a God who produces good and evil, who tempts man and then punishes him for doing what he could not help doing. This is not the creation of God who is Love.

To understand Christian Science it is essential to discern the spiritual meaning of the Bible which it reveals from Genesis to Revelation, and not to confuse it with the material.

When Mrs. Eddy declares that man is incapable of sin, it is man in the image and likeness of God who is referred to, not Adam or so-called mortal man, as our critic supposes.
