An advertisement in Saturday's Times mentioned a book that purports mistakenly to contain a "psychically received" amplification of the teachings of Mary Baker Eddy. The contents of the book in question are not consistent with Christian Science.

The Christian Science Sentinel of October 21, 1933, indicated that Mrs. Eddy recognized that there might be erroneous attempts to receive and recored messages from her after she passed from our sight, and that she forewarned a member of her household as follows: "If I should pass away, the first thing the mediums would do would be to claim a message from me.... If they do I want you to contradict it at once, for such a thing would be unscientific and hence utterly impossible. Moreover, if you should accept any such message it would throw you out of the line of scientific truth and darken your sense of it."
