May I have space in your valuable columns to comment on the letter written by "J. H.," appearing in your issue of September 8?

An unbiased study of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, will reveal the fact that Christian Science has no connection with any mystical system of religion, either ancient or modern.

Christian Science is founded on the Bible, and upon the teachings of Christ Jesus, who came into the world, as he declared, to bear witness to the truth of being. The foundation upon which Jesus built and which governed his teachings and demonstration was that God, Spirit, is the only cause and creator of the universe and man. Creation, then, must be spiritual and eternal, for Spirit could not create that which is opposite to Himself. He did not create matter. Matter is unknown in the universe of Spirit, and is no part of God's creation. Jesus declared that "it is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing."
