May I offer a comment on the article in your recent issue about Mary Baker Eddy and Christian Science?

If anyone should ask you how he could find the truth about Jesus, would you advise him to take counsel of Jesus' enemies—of those who hated him and who gladly defamed and misrepresented him—who said of "the best man that ever trod the globe" (Science and Health, p. 52) that he was a blasphemer against God, that he was gluttonous and a wine-bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners, the lawless defamer of the Sabbath, and worthy of being subjected to the worst form of death known? Can a prejudiced enemy give a just opinion?

I know that if you had been familiar with the facts about Mrs. Eddy you never would have permitted this defamatory article to be printed about this good and noble woman, whose teachings have brought health and happiness to so many. For the facts, I would refer you to the biography of Mrs. Eddy by Dr. Lyman P. Powell, who is the present rector of St. Margaret's Episcopal Parish in New York, and also to the biography of Mrs. Eddy by Miss Sibyl Wilbur, a newspaper woman. I refer you to the above because both authors were independent investigators, and their books were written after exhaustive personal research of facts, records, and witnesses. They cover fully all the matter referred to in your article, including her exposure of the evils of mesmerism as taught by one whom you mention. The full evidence should be examined before any judgment is reached.
