My attention has been called to the "Boonastiel Pennsylvania Dutch"...

My attention has been called to the "Boonastiel Pennsylvania Dutch" article in you issue of May 20, which contains a few brief references to a world-wide spiritual teaching that has been of untold benefit to those who have adopted it. Granted that the article is intended primarily to amuse your readers, the references to this teaching are so erroneous and misleading as to warrant correction.

Permit me, therefore, to say that Christian Science is very far from being a "faith cure" as this term is usually understood. Mary Baker Eddy, a lifelong student of the Bible, found that the Word of God is available to all mankind. Her textbook is entitled "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," and study of it has healed countless cases of so-called incurable diseases.

Judges and lawyers have accepted Christian Science, and medical doctors have left their medicines for Christian Science as being a more scientific and efficient remedy. The Hon. Ralph O. Brewster, former Governor of the state of Maine, and a graduate of Bowdoin College and Harvard Law School, has recently been appointed President of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, whose branches, including college and university organizations, now number upward of twenty-six hundred. Men of this caliber do not leave their medical beliefs nor their former religious affiliations for a so-called foolish faith cure.
