Your account of a lecture in a recent issue contains a reference to Christian Science which is misleading.

The lecturer erroneously classes Christian Science among certain cults which he claims are "responsible in a measure for the alarming mortality rate of cancer victims."

Such accusation is not borne out by research and the knowledge of facts. There are on record many instances of sufferers who, having discovered that material treatment has failed to meet their cases, only being able to offer "hope for a short extension of life," have been completely healed through the loving ministration of Christian Science.

Mary Baker Eddy writes in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 151): "Great respect is due the motives and philanthropy of the higher class of physicians. We know that if they understood the Science of Mind-healing, and were in possession of the enlarged power it confers to benefit the race physically and spiritually, they would rejoice with us. Even this one reform in medicine would ultimately deliver mankind from the awful and oppressive bondage now enforced by false theories, from which multitudes would gladly escape."
