We trust you will permit us to say a few words respecting an article in a recent issue, entitled "Church Deplores Modernism Curse," in which the author incorrectly interprets the attitude of Christian Science toward the evils of human experience.
Arthur P. DeCamp, Committee on Publication for the State of Missouri,
In your recent issue appeared a report of a sermon by an evangelist in which there were some references to Christian Science and to its Discoverer and Founder, Mary Baker Eddy, which need correction.
Judge Clifford P. Smith, Committee on Publication for The First Church of Christ, Scientist, Boston, Massachusetts,
