"MRS. MARY B. EDDY, the Founder of the Christian Science organization, wishes it to be understood that the Bible and her Christian Science text-book are authorized by Christ. In reference to this claim the Christian Advocate well says, 'To demonstrate that the Bible and Mrs. Eddy's text-book are both authorized by Christ would be destructive of the claims of Christianity, for there is nothing so unlike Christianity as Mrs. Eddy's teachings."
The above from The Morning Star, a Baptist publication of Boston, is along the line of many utterances of the pulpit and denominational press. If this utterance is true it is startling. If it is true that Christian Science is so un Christian as to be destructive of the claims of Christianity, and that there is nothing so unlike Christianity as Mrs. Eddy's teaching, then Christian Science is all wrong, its adherents are a deluded people, and the sooner they abandon their faith the better.
Is the above utterance true? Is its author justified in making it?
