A STUDENT
of Christian Science who, before knowing of this truth, had associated little of joy or happiness with the will of God, and whose concept of this will was beclouded by the many "Thou shalt not's" of a strict, erroneous theological teaching, felt boundless gratitude for the teachings of Christian Science, which gradually released her from many false concepts of our loving Father-Mother God.

An article in your issue of August 1 refers to Christian Science as being "kin" to other religious movements named therein but which, when carefully compared by one who understands Christian Science, are found to be quite at variance and not kin at all, even though a similarity of terms might so indicate.
