An Israelitish View

Editor

The following editorial in the American Israelite of Cincinnati, gives thinking people much food for serious reflection. In a few words the editor sounds the depths of a mighty subject.

The interrogatory is itself a syllogism. The terse propositions following it are worthy the attention of every Christian in the world. No Christian should rest until he has solved them:—

"The Chicago clergyman who is preaching a series of sermons upon 'Colossal Frauds under the Guise of Religion,' and under that head classifies Christian Science, had better study his New Testament. Which of the many Christian denominations has its foundation in the Gospels upon better approved authority? If Christian Science is untrue, then there is no truth in Christianity as it has been taught since Paul took it upon himself to eliminate the Judaism taught by Jesus. Christianity must stand or fall with Christian Science, the two cannot be logically separated. If the one is true, so is the other. The probability of both being false is not under discussion."
