Much comment having been made on the brief article, entitled Change of Material Base, in the January number of the Journal, and many letters being received in complaint of that article, it seems necessary to answer, through the columns of our magazine, those protests and inquiries.
Our Teacher wished a notice of her removal inserted in the magazine, that her many students and followers might know about it, and a literary friend (not a Christian Scientist) wrote an account of the matter, from his plane of thought, simply giving the facts. As Mrs. Eddy had made no change whatever in her views, he thought it proper to indicate this by the title, Change of Material Base.
Every student of Christian Science, however, knows that the Cause is dearer to the Founder that it can be to anybody else; and in every move made, its interests are considered before her own. Again and again have her students witnessed her self-abnegation.
