In a recent issue of your paper a correspondent refers to the Christian Science organization as "making vigorous strides," but is not so well informed when he speaks of the "wide appeal" of "personal power" in the organization. Christian Science is an established religion. It reinstates the Christianity taught and practiced by Christ Jesus. It gives the calm assurance of God's power to bless, to heal, to establish peace and self-control instead of "bursts of nervous excitement."

History repeats itself in the fall of those who would be "greatest," and Christian Scientists realize the deep humility of the Master, of whom Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, writes (Miscellaneous Writings, p. 270): "Fidelity to his precepts and practice is the only passport to his power; and the pathway of goodness and greatness runs through the modes and methods of God. 'He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.' "
