A book review in Saturday's Post was correct when it made clear that in "personalities, beliefs, and histories" Mesmer and Freud were dissimilar to Mary Baker Eddy. Please let me add that an impassable gulf separates the teachings of Mrs. Eddy from the theories of Freud and Mesmer; psychoanalysis and hypnotism, sometimes called mesmerism, afford no way of approach to Christian Science.

Although the review in question was correct on the point mentioned above, it contained other statements concerning Mrs. Eddy that were misleading and erroneous.

The history of Mary Baker Eddy shows her to have come from a worthy American family in a community of strong, democratic, God-worshiping New Englanders. Her history shows also that she was particularly gifted in moral and spiritual qualities and in intellectual capacity.
