In the September 1 issue of your good newspaper appeared an article which may have produced a misleading and unfair impression in that it stated that a religion called Tenrikyo, founded by a Japanese woman some years ago, "is like Christian Science."

I would appreciate deeply your permitting me to say that Christian Science is based fundamentally upon the teachings of the Bible, with specific emphasis upon the words and works of Christ Jesus. Between it, therefore, and movements which, like Tenrikyo, do not give first honor to the master Christian there can be no profitable comparison, however worthy such movements may be.

References to the mental nature of the universe have no kinship with Christian Science unless it is understood that the Mind which the real, spiritual universe expresses is the one which the Bible explains as God, the infinite, creative intelligence.
