If the correspondent who signs himself "Interested," and who claims to have read our literature "to some extent," will only extend his reading so far as to embrace the chapter entitled "Christian Science versus Spiritualism" in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, he will find all his questions answered, and be fully convinced that the belief that Christian Science has anything in common with spiritualism is based on a misunderstanding of the teachings of Christian Science. The Christian Science textbook may usually be borrowed from a public library or from a Christian Science Reading Room. The following brief quotations will, however, make the point clear. On page 79 of the textbook Mrs. Eddy writes: "Spiritualism relies upon human beliefs and hypotheses. Christian Science removes these beliefs and hypotheses through the higher understanding of God;" and on page 84: "This true conception of being destroys the belief of spiritualism at its very inception, for without the concession of material personalities called spirits, spiritualism has no basis upon which to build." And in another of her writings, "No and Yes," Mrs. Eddy makes this unequivocal statement (p. 13): "No greater opposites can be conceived of, physically, morally, and spiritually, than Christian Science, spiritualism, and theosophy."
