In your issue of March 24, you relate an incident about a young man, said to be a Christian Scientist, who encouraged a snake to bite him several times, in order to heal him of tuberculosis. Will you please grant me space to make the following reply?

It is evident to anyone who has studied Christian Science that the person mentioned was not a Christian Scientist. Had he been so, he would not have turned to any material remedy for a cure. Again, if a student of Christian Science who had a demonstrable understanding of its teachings were bitten by a poisonous snake, he would immediately apply his understanding of Christian Science to nullify the effect of the venom.
