In your issue of February 14 you reported a reverend gentleman as having said at a recent meeting: "Christian Science is a fad. There is absolutely no intellect in it. There are many good people who are Christian Scientists, but they are Christian Scientists out of emotion and not out of intellect." I should appreciate an opportunity to offer a clarifying and corrective statement in reply for the benefit of your readers.

Christian Science was discovered by Mary Baker Eddy in 1866, and its adherents, who are steadily increasing in number, now maintain The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, and over twenty-six hundred branches throughout the civilized world. Members of the Board of Lectureship of The Mother Church address audiences totaling over three million people in a year, and the demand for authorized Christian Science literature is indicated by the fact that a new Publishing House, costing about four million dollars, is now being completed in Boston. A religion which has grown in this substantial manner cannot be called a fad.

A similarr measure of recognition is now being accorded the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy.
