Excerpt from The Truth About Christian Science: The Founder and the Faith The author of this book is well aware that it falls among those obnoxious books which the founder of Christian Science forbade her followers to read in her endeavor by her censorship to protect them from any influence or light coming from outside the closed circle of her own books and other approved writings. It is not therefore written primarily for Christian Scientists. But if any of them should look into it. It is not thought they will find just ground of offense. However strong may be their dissent. It is difficult to be permanently offended with facts. Every important statement in this book relating to the founder and faith of Christian Science is supported by quotations from her writings or is based upon trust worthy evidence. The most serious allegations per taining to Mrs. Eddy are sustained by her own words found in her acknowledged writings, for in such matters she is always the most damaging witness against herself.
