Christian Science has been denounced by certain systems and self-appointed critics ever since its discovery. In spite of all the opposition, it has gained thousands of converts, healed multitudes, and established what is known as the broadest form of democratic church government. A Southern lawyer declares that to denounce or speak contemptuously of Christianity is an indictable offence. Now, if there is such a thing as Christian Science, any one denouncing it has not only been breaking the law, but has also been putting a stumbling-block in the way of every Christian minister who believes that sin and immorality are diseases which Christianity alone can cure, and that they are the most important things to cure. A good local doctor, before the Young Men's Christian Association, urged that the remedy for certain diseases is in the hands of the ministers, and advised that this great truth be preached from the pulpit. "How the world do move." After awhile the doctors will learn that Christian Scientists are the most humane people on earth, and have been all these years not opposing, but helping them.
