In an article in a recent issue there appears a statement which misrepresents Christian Science. I am sure you will grant me space to correct the statement that Christian Science is a travesty of religion.

Had the writer sought to learn something of the teaching of Christian Science before condemning it, he could have found on page 497 of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, the first tenet of the Christian Science church, which reads: "As adherents of Truth, we take the inspired Word of the Bible as our sufficient guide to eternal Life." The last tenet reads: "And we solemnly promise to watch, and pray for that Mind to be in us which was also in Christ Jesus; to do unto others as we would have them do unto us; and to be merciful, just, and pure." Surely, such teaching is no travesty of Christian doctrine.
