It is rather remarkable how unanimously the clergymen of the orthodox churches are assailing Christian Science at this time. Severe denunciatory sermons are being preached every Sunday, and still the Scientist Church continues to increase its membership in a most astonishing manner. Many of the clergymen who are preaching against the alleged Science are making a mistake in being so severe; they seem to look upon the Scientists as enemies to good morals, which they are not, by any means. After all, this is a country in which civil and religious liberty is guaranteed by the Constitution, and we fail to see that anybody has the right to abuse or denounce anybody else because of the religious beliefs he may hold. The Scientists are not aggressive; they interfere with the altars and the fires of no man; they have a perfect right to worship the Almighty as they may elect; and while there may be room for criticism of their claims to healing, the same may be said of the claims of allopaths, homœopaths, and all kinds of earthly physicians.—The Daily Express.
