It is to be regretted that the religious article from The Christian Science Monitor published in your newspaper incurred hostile criticism of Christian Science by a correspondent in your issue of November 6.

Founded by Mary Baker Eddy, as we read in "The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany" (p. 353), "to injure no man, but to bless all mankind," The Christian Science Monitor enjoys throughout the world a reputation for honest, clean, constructive journalism.

Your correspondent's charge of blasphemy can be attributed only to his misunderstanding of the spiritual import of our Master's teachings. Jesus taught and practiced scientific Christian healing. He did this through spiritual means, that is, through right understanding of the perfect, eternal nature of God, man, and the universe. This truth, spiritually understood, demonstrated perfect healings; and so the Master said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
