The misrepresentations of Christian Science by one of the girl evangelists in Hamilton, as reported recently in the Hamilton Daily News, cannot be allowed to go uncorrected.

Nothing could be farther from the truth than the title of that talk, "Divine Healing No Relation to Christian Science." Indeed, the Christian Science church was founded upon the practice of divine healing. As evidence of this fact, I quote an historical paragraph from page 17 of the Manual of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, by Mary Baker Eddy, which reads: "At a meeting of the Christian Scientist Association, April 19, 1879, on motion of Mrs. Eddy, it was voted,—To organize a church designed to commemorate the word and works of our Master, which should reinstate primitive Christianity and its lost element of healing."

The implication that Christian Science is man-made religion is another misrepresentation of the truth. The spiritual facts set forth in the Christian Science doctrine came to Mrs. Eddy as the result of divine revelation, during her three years' search of the Scriptures for the Principle and rules underlying the great healing works of Christ Jesus.
