In a recent issue it is reported that at a meeting of a Young Men's Religious Improvement Association the speaker claimed to have "examined a number of current religious systems that diverge from 'the truth as it is in Jesus,' " and among them he named first of all Christian Science, which he declared to be "untrue to the Bible and to the needs of human nature." As these remarks betray a total misapprehension of the teaching of Christian Science, will you grant me space in your next issue, in justice both to Christian Science and to your readers, briefly to state the facts?

Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science organized the Christian Science church "to commemorate the word and works of our Master, which should reinstate primitive Christianity and its lost element of healing" (Manual, p. 17). When he sent out the twelve disciples, Jesus instructed them to "heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils;" and in his final instructions to them after his resurrection, he bade them go and "teach all nations, ... teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you."
