MISCELLANY

with contributions from Ed., Johnson

The following is an editorial in a recent number of the Denver Republican, one of the leading dailies of the great West. We congratulate the cause of Christian Science on the stand taken by this staunch advocate of right.

In 1862 a New England woman, obscure and almost friendless, while suffering from an injury caused by an accident—an injury pronounced fatal by surgeons—was restored to complete health.

She attributed her healing to God, and has devoted the succeeding years of her life to the study of the Scriptures, in the hope of discovering the Principle of healing through divine Power. This woman, Mary Baker G. Eddy, is now known as the Mother of Christian Science, which its adherents assert is the religion of Jesus, pure and undefiled, and in support of their claims point to their works. They claim to have healed a million cases of chronic and acute disease, many of which they say were given up by the doctors. This faith has had a very rapid growth, and there are now nearly four hundred churches dedicated to its promulgation, and in nearly every case it is the boast that their buildings are free from debt.
