An article which appeared in a recent issue of your paper misrepresents Christian Science, and I request space for a brief corrective statement.

Christian Science is founded on the Bible; it is restoration of the primitive Christianity that Christ Jesus taught, lived, and demonstrated. In other words, it is a religion of love and good deeds, not of creeds; a spiritual or divinely mental method, which now, as when originally employed by the master Christian, heals both the sick and the sinning. Moreover, Christian Science is scientific, because it is exact knowledge of spiritual truth or law made available for practical use, and therefore susceptible of proof.

Mary Baker Eddy, a deeply religious New England woman, is the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science and the author of its textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (obtainable at all Christian Science Reading Rooms and at most public libraries), which, with the exception of the Bible, is probably the most widely read religious book in the world today. In her book "Rudimental Divine Science" (p. 1), Mrs. Eddy defines Christian Science "as the law of God, the law of good, interpreting and demonstrating the divine Principle and rule of universal harmony."
