Editor, The News-Times,
South Bend. Ind
Dear SIR
Mrs Mary Baker Eddy, the dis
coverer and founder Of Christian
science. says on page 20 of her Mes
sage to the Mother Church for
1901. I'VE have no moral right and
authority in Christian science for in
fiuencing the thoughts Of others, ex-
cept il be to serve God and bene-
tit mankind. Man is properly self
governed. and he should be guided
by no other mind then truth, the
divine mind Christian science gives
neither moral right nor might to
harm either man or beast.
Christian scientists are not hypno-
lists, they are not mortal mind-cur-
lists. nor faith-curists; they have
faith. but they have science, under
standing, and works as well. They
are not the addenda, the et ceteras'
or new editions of old errors; but
they are what they are, namely
students OF a demonstrable science
leading the ages"
This certainly should refute the
statement made by Rev. +. l. House
quoted in your issue of February

science and new thought are one

South Bend, Feb..1S, 1919.
We have just received a few other
cOnsignments Of verse, and, while
they may not be construed strictly
as ''vers libre," they are of the most
liberal construction and meaning
In fact, the meaning of some Of the
lines is SO liberal that it takes
something more than an expert in
this line to decipher il. AS to con
struction, some of the verse we have
received lately resembles a German
army front after a gas attack By
Yankee soldiers.
However. none of the foregoing
remarks should be considered il

along with the robins, budding trees
and warm breezes every year. The
