An Appeal for Justice

J. C. Batts

Norfolk (Va.) Ledger

To the Editor.

In your issue of the 14th instant you gave prominent notice of the receipt of a pamphlet devoted to an adverse criticism of Christian Science and its adherents, by a minister of another denomination, the Ledger thus becoming an instrument in the hands of one church to criticise and condemn another. In this I feel that it has, without the least intention, done those whom I represent a deep injustice.

It is well known, of course, that the several denominations differ from each other upon essential doctrinal points, but I do not believe you would, upon serious thought, think it right to allow your paper to become the medium through which the Presbyterians might criticise the Baptists, the Methodists the Episcopalians, or vice versa. Wherefore, then, should not this same rule apply to Christian Science?
