The object of the author in this brief treatise is to present a type of resumé or survey of Christian Science so that the interested reader may be led to pursue further the study of this rapidly growing religious organization. This booklet was motivated by a deep desire on the part of the writer to acquaint Christian people with the vital necessity of defending the historic Gospel of Jesus Christ in these closing days of the Age of Grace. It is sent forth with the earnest prayer that the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ may see fit to open the eyes of those who are enmeshed in the cult of Christian Science and free them. [From the Preface]
