Everett P. Clark, Committee on Publication for the State of Washington,
As reported in your recent issue, your present city health officer and another doctor, both of whom addressed city club women at a meeting in the auditorium of your public library, expressed some concern over the election of a certain candidate for the office of commissioner of public safety because he is a Christian Scientist.
William K. Primrose, Secretary to the District Manager of Committees on Publication for Great Britain and Ireland,
In reply to the letter of "Inquirer" in your recent issue, may I say that Christian Scientists obey the great commandment, "Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord.
What
a joy it is to give! What a deep and beautiful sense of love and gratitude may be expressed by gifts! If we, having still before us much of unfoldment, are able to give to one another in love, how much more then must God, who is infinite divine Love, be able to give to us of His abundance!
"The
discoverer of Christian Science finds the path less difficult when she has the high goal always before her thoughts, than when she counts her footsteps in endeavoring to reach it.
Theodore Burkhart, Committee on Publication for the State of Oregon,
The Christian Science Monitor was established by Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, who declared its object to be "to injure no man, but to bless all mankind".
