"Reformed Christian Scientists."

There comes to us an account of a class of people calling themselves "Reformed Christian Scientists." The headquarters of this new star in the firmament of religion or metaphysics, is at Grand Rapids, Mich. It is said they represent the business and professional circles of that city, and the ladies are well known in society, literary, and art circles. They are reported as believing in certain portions of the Christian Science text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," but not in all of it. They employ medical men just as do members of other denominations. They believe, however, that the liability to disease is an abnormal weakness, which, in their present state, they have not power to overcome.

The following is said to be a summary of their creed, constituting their only text-book:—

"I am created in God's image and likeness. I am His handiwork and all of His works are perfect. Therefore in me, in my true self, there can be no discord, no fear, no disease. I am spiritual, harmonious free, and fearless. The source from which I draw my life is inexhaustible."
