Your recent articles on Christian Science in The Day were sent to us . . . and we read them with interest. We appreciate your evident desire to give a fair and honest presentation, and I am wondering whether you might be interested in a few comments from us on your general thesis.

It might be that you would see both Christian Science and Mary Baker Eddy in a different perspective if you could recognize more clearly the basic religious nature of her teachings.

Quimby's son George—a stanch champion of his father—himself recognized this when he wrote: "The religion which she [Mrs. Eddy] teaches certainly is hers, for which I cannot be too thankful; for I should be loath to go down to my grave feeling that my father was in any way connected with 'Christian Science.'
