A. M. K.

Detroit Free Press

As a free discussion of Christian Science is invited in this morning's editorial it is surely the privilege of any respectable citizen to participate in the same.

The right of a religious denomination to worship according to conscience is conceded by the Free Press, and would be their prerogative even if every newspaper in the land denied it, but there is a singular and very apparent inconsistency in the statement that they may believe whatever they please, but must not practise their doctrines.

It is very evident that if Jesus of Nazareth had not demonstrated his theories he would never have been crucified. People have always been willing to tolerate mere talk, but when his healing work began to command the attention of all he was soon brought to trial and death.
