In your issue of April 10 appears a letter from "Sphinx" in which the writer makes certain erroneous statements regarding Christian Science and its Discoverer and Founder, Mary Baker Eddy. As these statements require correction, space in your columns is courteously requested.

Your correspondent has evidently either not studied the subject very deeply, or he has gained his knowledge of it from antagonistic sources. The lecture he criticizes is a correct statement of the teachings of Christian Science, as taught by Mrs. Eddy in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures."

The writer asserts that "Christian Scientists are atheists because they do not believe in a personal God." According to Webster, an atheist is "one who disbelieves or denies the existence of a God, or supreme intelligent Being." But Christian Scientists cannot be classed as atheists, for they acknowledge one God, even the God of whom the Scriptures bear testimony. And they take God's inspired Word as an indispensable guide to eternal Life. In fact, at every point Christian Science is based upon the Scriptures.
