Sherwood Kretsinger, Committee on Publication for the State of Oregon,

My attention has been called to an article in the Medford Mail Tribune of December 16, which mentions Christian Science in a misleading manner and places its Founder, Mary Baker Eddy, in an untrue light. The writer of the article surely knows that it is neither courteous nor Christlike to speak disrespectfully of one whose lifework was given to bless mankind, as was Mrs. Eddy's.

Mrs. Eddy's definition of God, as given in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 465), is as follows: "God is incorporeal, divine, supreme, infinite Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, Love."

Dr. Lyman Powell, formerly rector of an Episcopal church in New York City, recently wrote a book entitled "Mary Baker Eddy: A Life Size Portrait," from which the reader may form his own opinion as to Mrs. Eddy's noble character and life. There are also available authorized biographies of Mrs. Eddy by Sibyl Wilbur and E. M. Ramsay.
