That Christian Science is gaining a strong foothold...

Fort Collins (Col.) Daily Courier

That Christian Science is gaining a strong foothold everywhere, cannot be gainsaid. That it has done quite wonderful things and is to-day doing them, must be admitted. That its tenets are plausible and dynamic; that its followers consist of the highest business and professional people in all cities; that it carries with it no schemes of graft or secret machinations, is apparent to those who look into the comparatively new creed.

Judge Septimus J. Hanna laid stress upon these thoughts in his lecture before a very large audience at the Opera House, Friday evening [Sept. 7]. Judge Hanna is a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship of Boston, Mass. Not one auditor of the whole company could consistently enter objections to any statement made by the speaker.

The writer has talked much and written more in opposition to this belief. Why? Because, like the majority of other loud antagonists to these people's ideas and practices, he knew little concerning it. By some effort he was induced, as were many in the assemblage, to go to the lecture. To-day he confesses he could not push away partial persuasion, as he paid strict attention to the assertions of the judge. Christian people to-day profess to believe all the plain and understandable passages of the Holy Scriptures, and this is just the basic teaching of Christian Science, as put forth convincingly by Judge Hanna.
