In your issue of March 29 there was a lengthy report of an address by a doctor, in which this spokesman for the American Medical Association denounced Christian Science. It is hardly creditable to the representative of a profession which exalts honest and accurate research, that he should continue to repeat so many erroneous statements and worn-out legends about a religion which has won for itself an established place.

The facts about Christian Science and its Discoverer and Founder, Mary Baker Eddy, are easily ascertained. There are many intelligent people in Benton Harbor who can testify to the sincerity of Christian Scientists, to the efficacy of Christian Science, and to Mrs. Eddy's unselfish love for humanity and the purity of her life and motives. Some of them turned to Christian Science and were healed of organic as well as functional diseases after medical methods had failed to heal them.

Last week in our legislature at Lansing a senator read a quotation from a medical society journal in which were summarized the answers made by fifteen hundred people in a California city when asked what method of treatment they have recourse to in sickness. Only ten per cent named the school of healing which this doctor represents, and probably the other ninety per cent would not readily agree with his theory that every other mode of healing is quackery.
