Edgar McLeod, Committee on Publication for Northern California
A writer in a recent issue of your paper quotes the following statement from page 289 of "Miscellaneous Writings" by Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science: "Strong drink is unquestionably an evil, and evil cannot be used temperately: its slightest use is abuse; hence the only temperance is total abstinence.
J. Latimer Davis, Committee on Publication for the State of Iowa,
It was with sincere appreciation that I read the high tribute given The Christian Science Monitor by a minister in a recent issue of your publication; but with regret, equally sincere, I observed his remarks concerning Christian Science which indicated misconception of it and may have conveyed to your readers a wrong impression of its teachings.
Charles W. J. Tennant, District Manager of Committees on Publication for Great Britain and Ireland,
In reply to "Watcher," writing in your recent issue, let me reiterate that Christian Science is Christian because it fulfills the teachings of Christ Jesus in healing the sick and reforming the sinner through the spiritual method.
Through
all the writings of our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, there runs a glorious theme, a theme, indeed, that has been singing its way into the hearts of men ever since Christ Jesus, our perfect Way-shower, gave his wonderful message to men; and that theme is man's unity with God.
