Church Messenger

Editor the Church Messenger:—The October issue of your paper, containing an article severely criticising Christian Science and Christian Scientists, has come to my notice.

The lecture by Mr. Edward A. Kimball of Chicago, delivered in Convention Hall in Kansas City, and published in full by the Kansas City Star, was made a basis for this article.

We are pleased to know that you acknowledge there is a "true Christian Science" and your answer that "it is a knowledge of the doctrine of Christ," is a very acceptable answer, so far as it goes, to a Christian Scientist; but we feel the answer would be more complete to read thus: It is a knowledge of the doctrine of Christ and its practical application. A knowledge of anything is of very little use to us unless we put it into practice.
