Diamond Fields Advertiser
In a recent issue you published an article containing the following passage: "Christian Scientists also have their Bible, the works of Mary Baker Eddy, extracts from which are engraved on the walls of some of their churches."
As this statement is misleading, I ask for space to correct any wrong impression made upon your readers. The works of Mary Baker Eddy, while based upon the Bible, by no means take the place of that sacred book with Christian Scientists.
On page 110 of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mary Baker Eddy writes, "In following these leadings of scientific revelation, the Bible was my only textbook." She adds (p. 126): "The Bible has been my only authority. I have had no other guide in 'the straight and narrow way' of Truth." On page 497 of the same book will be found the first tenet of the Christian Science denomination, reading, "As adherents of Truth, we take the inspired Word of the Bible as our sufficient guide to eternal Life."
