AN OPEN LETTER TO A CHRISTIAN SOCIOLOGIST

From the June 1899 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Dear Mr.—:—A copy of a paper containing a resume of a recent lecture by you has just fallen into my hands. In it, as reported, I find the following statement:—

"I know of no church that professes faith in Christ in the sense of taking Christ at his word and believing his life livable and workable in the world."

I know not from what observation of the work of Christian Science, as revealed in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Rev. Mary Baker G. Eddy, you could make such an affirmation. For it is precisely the absolute acceptance of the livableness of Jesus' life, here and now, in every aspect of his human consciousness, understanding, and works, which constitutes a chief cornerstone in the Church of Christ, Scientist. See the definition of Church in the glossary in Science and Health.
