Christian Treatment of Christian Science

Editor

Rev. W. H. Morrison , pastor of the First Universalist Church of Brockton, Mass., recently delivered a sermon on "The Christian Way of Treating Christian Science." He selected for his text, "And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: but if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God" (Acts, 5:38, 39).

The following synopsis, which appeared in the Brockton Enterprise, shows the spirit of the sermon:—

"A week ago last Monday the Boston newspapers were full of a sermon by Dr. Dixon of that city denouncing Christian Science. This sermon is one of many lately preached upon the theme, and all treat it in the most bitter and hostile manner. Indeed, from many sermons and articles in newspapers and magazines of late, it looks as though an organized movement had started to drive this form of belief off the face of the earth.
