George C. Eames, Committee on Publication for the State of Maine,
It is surprising to find at this period that Christian Science is not better known than is indicated by the remarks of the Universalist minister published in a recent issue of your paper.
Hugh Stuart Campbell, Committee on Publication for the State of Illinois,
Under the heading "Latest Ed Howe Squibs," published in a recent issue, it is to be observed that an extraordinary opinion was presented to your readers by the writer of that column.
Men
readily admit that God is the creator of the universe, but they often fail to consider that with the creation is also the law to uphold and govern it.
Relying
on the promise that "like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him," we can have no misgivings concerning our loving Father's ability and willingness to hear and answer the cry of genuine repentance.
To
the student of Christian Science whose healing may seem to be delayed, the incident recorded in Luke, thirteenth chapter, is pregnant with hope and assurance.
When
the Christian Science student is endeavoring to escape from the bondage of a mortal environment which seems to envelop him, how the word "chiseling" instantly announces to him his way to freedom! No longer does he conceive his seeming material life to be like uncarved marble awaiting the stroke of a supernatural power in order that beauty, perfection, and the consciousness of real life may be expressed; rather does he perceive his own duty and his ability to express his true selfhood, which has always coexisted with God.
Frank C. Ayres, Committee on Publication for the State of Indiana,
Casting a public slur upon the good name of a religion through a church notice and invitation to attend a sermon opposing its teachings, as was done by a minister through the columns of your paper recently, will not appeal strongly to your fair-minded readers.
