In a recent issue, under the healing "Challenge to Vicar," Christian Scientists are referred to "as teaching queer fables which make things difficult for Christians."

Allow me to refer to the first of the six simple Tenets to which Christian Scientists subscribe. It reads, "As adherents of Truth, we take the inspired Word of the Bible as our sufficient guide to eternal Life" (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 497).

To those, therefore, who regard "the inspired Word of the Bible" as true, teaching based on Truth cannot be fables.

Mrs. Eddy also states in "Miscellaneous Writings" (p. 53): "The teachings of Jesus were simple; and yet he found it difficult to make the rulers understand, because of their great lack of spirituality. Christian Science is simple, and readily understood by the children; only the thought educated away from it finds it abstract or difficult to perceive."
