Cedar Rapids, Ia., April 19, 1899.

Dear Editors:—I enclose you under separate cover the last two issues of the Sunday Republican. The former contains a paper read before the Methodist Ministerial District Conference. The writer believed he was attacking Christian Science by saying, "it was to all practical purposes the same as mental science; called it "pantheism;" does not see how any well-balanced mind can be attracted by such nonsense; "it is the craziest of all crazes." Of course he had put up his target to shoot at and hit it, but Christian Science was untouched, for one must know something about Christian Science before he can attack it,—our dear brother will erelong see that Christian Science can withstand all attacks, for Christian Science is not vulnerable. It is not of man, but of God.

The second paper was copied from the Sentinel of March 30, "Why Christian Scientists should be recognized as Christians," from the pen of Rev. Josiah Zimmerman, a Lutheran minister, and read before the Ministerial Association of Lincoln, Neb. It was a grand article, and we were glad to see it published here, for it was only the truth regarding Christian Science. Was it not a beautiful tribute to Christian Science that this article was suggested by a Methodist lady as a reply to the former, and at her request it was published?
