Benson Tatham Woodhead, Committee on Publication for Lancashire, England,
In your issue of October 1 there appears a letter on the subject of Christian Science by "Memnon," which I should like to ask for some space in your columns to reply to.
Much
effort has been put forth throughout the centuries to teach human beings how to gain spirituality, but there still remains a general misunderstanding about it.
While
she was struggling in vain to solve a problem in the middle of the night, the attention of a student of Christian Science was suddenly drawn to the cheery, sweet notes of a little canary bird singing in the darkness of an adjoining room.
Who
has not awakened in the stillness of an early summer dawn and presently heard one tiny bird voice begin a paean of praise, then another and another, until the whole atmosphere was ringing with a song of joy, as gradually the darkness lifted and the day fully dawned?

Your report on February 1 of a bishop's comments on the right interpretation of the phrase in the Lord's Prayer, "Lead us not into temptation," naturally calls attention to the Scriptural teaching on this subject.
