Frederick H. Astley-Woodward, Committee on Publication for Devonshire, England,—Ilfracombe

Chronicle

In your last issue, you publish remarks by a correspondent calling himself "An Ordinary Man," and I shall be glad if you will kindly grant me space to reply.

First, let me state that Christianity and Christian Science are one. In the next column to the one in which your correspondent's remarks appear is the advertisement of the Ilfracombe Christian Science Society — a branch of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts. If your correspondent should attend its services he would find the answer to his queries. Next Sunday the subject of the Lesson-Sermon is "Man." In addition, if he so desired, he could borrow or purchase a copy of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.

In a previous reply, reference was made to the religious tenets of Christian Science; and as indicated, all the questions raised by a clergyman in his address could not be covered owing to lack of space. It would appear that the main point on which "An Ordinary Man" needs enlightenment is — "man is incapable of sin" (Science and Health, p. 475). As taught in Christian Science, it is man in God's image and likeness, or the perfect man of God's creating, who is incapable of aught but good, as he reflects God, who is infinite good.
