Morning News
The gracious references to Christian Science by a columnist, in his interesting sidelights column, in your issue of December 18, are appreciated. However, your contributor takes note of the fact that cable dispatches tell of an author classing Mary Baker Eddy, Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, with Franz Mesmer, and Sigmund Freud, which would imply that their teachings are similar. This comparison may mislead those of your readers who are not informed about Christian Science. As taught in Christian Science the spiritual method of treating disease bears no resemblance to the mysticism of mesmerism, Freudism, magnetism, or mental suggestion; on the contrary, the teaching of Christian Science exposes the error of mystic thought to the conscientious student seeking to understand God, who is "a very present help in trouble."
Mrs. Eddy has included in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," a chapter entitled "Animal Magnetism Unmasked," indicating unquestionably that it was Mrs. Eddy's purpose to teach her followers to unmask and destroy the workings of animal magnetism rather than to believe in them or to give them power. Further emphasizing the facts, Mrs. Eddy, writing of these notions, which are sometimes confused with Christian Science, as in the present instance, says on page 185 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," "Such theories have no relationship to Christian Science, which rests on the conception of God as the only Life, substance, and intelligence, and excludes the human mind as a spiritual factor in the healing work."
