LETTERS TO THE PRESS

From Christian Science Committees on Publication

Christian Scientists would agree with the statement in your editorial (The Observer-News-Enterprise, Wednesday, May 2) on Mary Baker Eddy that the Founder of their Church was a "remarkable woman," but they might not recognize her from the short sketch of her life in the editorial.

The central fact in Mrs. Eddy's life was her search for a better understanding of the divine power with which Jesus and his early followers healed the sick, the sinning, and the sorrowful.

Christian Science as she taught it was based on God's infinite goodness. While conscious or unconscious evil in human thought might produce disordered bodies and unhappy lives, a true understanding of God as revealed through Christ could heal the root cause of all such inharmony.

Mrs. Eddy taught, and Christian Scientists believe, that whatever injures human thought is contrary to God's will and can be proved to be powerless as one follows faithfully in the Saviour's steps.
