In your issue of April 20, 1935, under the news items from the town of Seymour, you carry a report of a sermon in which the speaker is interpreted as having classified Christian Science as non-Christian. Your readers are entitled to an authoritative and informative statement on the subject.

In the Church Manual of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, Boston, Massachusetts, written by Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, we find the following as setting forth the objective of Christian Science: "To organize a church designed to commemorate the word and works of our Master, which should reinstate primitive Christianity and its lost element of healing" (Church Manual, p. 17). That Christian Science is based upon the Bible and, more especially, the teachings of Christ Jesus, is shown by the following, which are the fourth and sixth tenets of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist:

"We acknowledge Jesus' atonement as the evidence of divine, efficacious Love, unfolding man's unity with God through Christ Jesus the Way-shower; and we acknowledge that man is saved through Christ, through Truth, Life, and Love as demonstrated by the Galilean Prophet in healing the sick and overcoming sin and death."
