In an article entitled "Some Religious Cranks," which appears in your recent issue, the writer gives a list of what he designates "freak religions," and among these he mentions Christian Science.

If primitive Christianity can be regarded as a "freak religion," then its reinstatement, Christian Science, can be categorized as such, but not otherwise. It may not be generally known that Christian Science is the reinstatement of "primitive Christianity and its lost element of healing" (Church Manual by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 17), and that this was the purpose she had in mind when founding the Christian Science church.

In order to give your readers an opportunity of being better informed on this point, I trust you will grant me the courtesy of space for this brief reply.
