Letters to the Press from Christian Science Committees on Publication

Croydon Times

William Kenneth Primrose, Assistant to the District Manager of Committees on Publication for Great Britain and Ireland Croydon Times

Your recent issue contains a letter from a correspondent which is not very clearly expressed. My only reason for writing is that the letter contains very confusing references to Christian Science.

If your correspondent will study the Bible in conjunction with the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, he will find satisfactory answers to his questions. For instance, Mrs. Eddy writes (Science and Health, pp. 481, 482), "When reading the Scriptures, the substitution of the word sense for soul gives the exact meaning in a majority of cases." As Christian Scientists gain the spiritual sense of the Scriptures, they are enabled in proportion to their understanding to obey the injunction to "put off . . . the old man" and to "put on the new man" (Eph. 4:22, 24), the man made in the image and likeness of God. In this way, and in this way only, is man redeemed from sin, disease, and the grave.
