Considerate Attention

Albany (N. Y.) Press-Knickerbocker

Perhaps the public may have noted that the opposition of Christian Science, which was very much in evidence a few years ago, is dying out.

Worldly as a majority of our people may be, they have been quick to recognize the goodness which is in the new cult.

There is nothing in Christian Science which would suggest imposition. Faith is the foundation of the belief which has Mrs. Eddy as its chief exponent. Those who accept this good woman's teachings live pure and upright lives. As pious as the Pilgrim Fathers, the Christian Scientists are more liberal than those pioneers of religion in the New World.

Since the immortal Declaration of Independence was given to freemen, our people have held that all men are "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights," among which are "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." As men and women are happy in their religion, any belief which contributes toward the happiness of the world must at least receive the considerate attention of the American public. — Albany (N. Y.)
