Frank K. Poe, Committee on Publication for the State of Maryland,—Baltimore

Johns Hopkins "Y" News

I have before me a recent issue of your paper containing a brief report of a lecture given in Baltimore by a prominent member of the medical profession. It was my privilege to hear this lecture, and I appreciated the physician's expressed recognition of the good which Christian Science has accomplished. He made one statement, however, which calls for correction, and I shall be grateful if you will allow me sufficient space in your publication to make this correction.

The statement to which I refer is the one with which the "Y" News opens its report of the lecture, namely, "Christian Science Limits God." No statement could be more incorrect than that regarding the teachings of Christian Science with respect to God.

Two statements in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" written by Mary Baker Eddy, will suffice to prove how incorrect is the statement that Christian Science limits God. One is the opening statement of Chapter I, page 1: "The prayer that reforms the sinner and heals the sick is an absolute faith that all things are possible to God,—a spiritual understanding of Him, an unselfed love." The other is from the second of the six religious Tenets of Christian Science (p. 497): "We acknowledge and adore one supreme and infinite God."
