A London dispatch in last Sunday's Globe describing a new book by Professor H. A. L. Fisher of Oxford, who is to be the chief orator of the Massachusetts tercentenary, has brought a statement from the Christian Science church.

C. Augustus Norwood, the Committee on Publication of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, makes the statement, so that the dispatch describing the book "will not lead to any misunderstanding of the teachings and practices of Christian Science."

"Mr. Fisher," says Mr. Norwood, "after claiming that Christian Scientists would not enforce the ordinary rules of sanitation, isolation, et cetera, asserts, as you have quoted, that 'a strict execution of Mrs. Eddy's doctrines throughout the world would in a very few years extinguish human life upon this planet.' In this, Mr. Fisher shows that he does not understand the teaching which he attempts to explain and criticize. Christian Scientists do not oppose the enforcement of laws of sanitation and isolation, but only laws making medication compulsory.
