Charles M. Shaw, Committee on Publication for Lancashire, England,
The contribution of a clergyman on the subject of Christian Science, in your issue of October 17, is a welcome change from the criticisms published from time to time, in that it is fair, free from bitterness, and tolerant towards those from whom he conscientiously differs.
Richard E. Prince, Committee on Publication for the State of Virginia,
While I do not believe the writer of the article entitled "The Christian Science Infiltration," in your issue of August 7, intended to misrepresent Christian Science, I shall appreciate the privilege of commenting on one or two statements therein.
According
to ordinary human thought the words "retreat" and "progress" might seem to have diametrically opposite meanings, and not to be in any way complementary to each other.
Gaze
into the face of a flower swaying amidst the long grass on a spring morning, and see what is written there that they who run may read! A symbol of the gentleness, the gayety, the harmlessness of being, a hint of the smile of God! Meek, and yet adding to the beauty all around it, praising God with its unstinted fragrance! No trace of rivalry or self-seeking is there; no lust for gold or for possession; but radiant innocence, shining forth its joy.
