In your issue last week you gave a report of the meetings in Coventry of the Baptist Union Council, in which appears a report of a sermon by a clergyman in which he made reference to Christian Science and to its Discoverer and Founder, Mary Baker Eddy. In referring to Mrs. Eddy as "a very clever woman" who "paid a fearful price for inventing a new religion for pain" and "called it Christian Science," the speaker must have been very limited in his knowledge of the subject, and certainly either unaware of or unprepared to acknowledge the beneficial results seen throughout the world today of the noble work of Mrs. Eddy.

The price paid in the founding of Christian Science is that which has been paid by all pioneers of Truth right down the ages, namely, the scoffs, scorns, and rejections of those who should be the first to accept it. "He came unto his own, and his own received him not."

Christian Science is not an invention; it is not a new religion; it is a restatement of the pure religion of Jesus. It is a religion for pain, in the sense that the alleviation of pain must be included in the ministrations of Christ-healing. John's vision in Revelation 21 is a prophecy that this must come to pass: "Neither sorrow, nor crying neither shall there be any more pain."
