Brief Comments
Notwithstanding the condemnation excited of late, both here and abroad, the Christian Scientists, according to reports made at their convention in this city, continue to increase in numbers, We note that last year there was an increase of seventy-five churches, while in 1897 the new churches numbered only forty-four. On Sunday last 2,550 names were added to the rolls at the Mother Church in the Back Bay; while altogether the sect now has a membership of seventy thousand, and the church attendants number three hundred thousand. These are proofs that Christian Science must be regarded seriously.—Boston Journal.
The New York Witness says of Mrs. Eddy: "If she did not 'discover' the principles of her faith she certainly 'founded' the sect which believes in them, and with that people generally will be content to let the matter rest."
