In a recent issue appears a letter from "Student," commenting on the report of a recent lecture on Christian Science. It is clear that he has failed to appreciate the point of Mrs. Eddy's discovery or he could not have written about it as he has done.

Mrs. Eddy does not claim to have discovered anything which is not stated in the Bible, and which Christ Jesus did not teach. The very first tenet of Christian Science, as given on page 497 of her textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," reads as follows: "As adherents of Truth, we take the inspired Word of the Bible as our sufficient guide to eternal Life." There is nothing in Christian Science the authority for which is not found in the Bible.

Christ Jesus came to save men. To save them from what? From sin and evil. When men are saved from sin and evil, What will they be? The perfect children of God. It is just the same gospel that Christian Science teachers, and it sets before mortal man that perfect spiritual sense of man which God created, and shows him, with God's help, how to demonstrate it step by step. Christ Jesus said, "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing."
