Dear Editor:—During my recent travels abroad, while visiting my husband's mother in Peterhead, Scotland, I was asked by the Rev. J. Halliday of the Free Church (Presbyterian) what church we attended. My reply was, "First Church of Christ. Scientist: more familiarly known in America as Christian Science." He had never heard of it, and requested me to tell something of our creed or doctrine. I endeavored to give as explicit ideas as possible in few words and so short a time as our social call would permit. Shortly after our departure, when making a ministerial visit to my relatives, he asked more of Christian Science, and was told that they possessed our text-book. Science and Health, which lie might read if he desired. He took it, and in less than three weeks preached upon the subject, as the enclosed synopsis portrays.
I feel sure our readers will be interested in this article, from a city where the name Christian Science had never been heard. Joyfully yours,
St. Louis, Mo.
