Editorial August 29, 1901 Issue

American Baptist Flag

Editor

The above is the name of a weekly denominational newspaper published in Fulton, Ky., and St. Louis, Mo. As its name indicates, it is of the Baptist persuasion. Its editor is evidently not friendly to Christian Science, and does not have an exalted opinion of Christian Scientists, as appears from the following editorial squib in a recent number:—

"Christian Science orators claim about one million converts to that religion, but as a matter of fact there are only forty or fifty thousand of them, and these are mostly hysterical women and disappointed and disgruntled politicians, and apostate church members."

If it were true that even fifty thousand Christian Scientists were "mostly hysterical women and disappointed and disgruntled politicians, and apostate church members," we would ask our editorial friend if he objects to Christian Science coming to the rescue of this hysterical, disgruntled, and apostate army of his fellow-citizens, and endeavoring to do for them what manifestly the system of which he is a representative, and correlative systems, have been unable to do? or does he not think them worth saving?
