A PATH TO PEACE [To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.]

SIR,—In your issue of May 29th, in an article by F. Yeats- Brown, Dr. Tahra Bey is referred to as a " Christian Scientist in excelsis." Dr. Tahra Bey is not a Christian Scientist from any point of view, and his exhibitions represent neither the teaching not the practice of Christian Science, which is defined on page 1 of Rudimental Divine Science, by Mary Baker Eddy,

as, " the law of God, the law of good, interpreting and demonstrating the divine Principle and rule of universal harmony."—I am, Sir, &c., CHARLES W. J. TENNANT, Committee on Publication.

[It seemed to us obvious that the phrase in the article was used metaphorically. No one with Dr. Tahra Bey's faith and record could possibly be a Christian Scientist in the literal sense.—En. Spectator.]
