Elder Harkins Pleased

Anderson (Ind.) Daily Bulletin

During his sermon last night Rev. Mr. Harkins digressed from his theme to refer to the lecture of Mrs. Knott, on Christian Science, in the Opera House. Elder Harkins said that he hoped he would never be so prejudiced and unreasonable as to decline hearing the presentation of any side of any proposition. After summarizing the popular view of Christian Science in the statement that it was neither Christian nor Scientific, Mr. Harkins told how he had been present at the Opera House lecture until he was called away, much to his regret. Then he paid tribute to the exalted character of Mrs. Knott's lecture. He said that all that part of the lecture which he had heard was chaste in language and spiritual in character. If what Mrs. Knott had said about Christian Science was a true statement of the faith, then it was altogether different from what it has been conceived to be, for it was the lifting of mankind above the materialistic and to a spiritual plane. Elder Harkins said he had not been carried away by Christian Science, but that he stood ready to testify to the Christian character of Christian Science teachings so far as they had been revealed in the address at the Opera House.
