with contributions from Anderson—Chicago.

Christian Science, though founded upon the Bible, does not come to establish a new sect, even if some who adhere to sects may say so. A sect is something cut off or di vided from some main body, but Christianity is not in itself divided. As the robe which Jesus Christ wore was woven without a seam, so that the soldiers thought it ill to tear it into sections, so Christianity, depending upon the proof of healing instead of argument, is a complete and perfect system or science. In pure science you can have no variety of teaching; though in the work of pupils you may observe approximate or perfect demonstration of the rules laid down. And so it is in Christianity. It is ever one, a perfect Science based upon perfect Principle, because God is that Principle. When it is understood, the prophecy of Jesus will be fulfilled, "And there shall be one fold, and one shepherd."

[Bishop Anderson as reported in the Chicago Record-Herald.]
