The article quoted from the Brooklyn Eagle states:...

John L. Rendall—Des Moines, Ia.

Register and Leader

The article quoted from the Brooklyn Eagle states: "Two things the orthodox ministers who are leaders in their respective bodies, and who are in closest touch with the actual workings of Christian Science, make no pretense of denying. One of these is that Mrs. Eddy has discovered certain things which are true. These ministers say their churches have forgotten or have lost that which Christian Science comes forward with and claims as its own. The other fact which these ministers admit is that leading men in the Christian churches are leaving them and going into Christian Science churches." ...

If, as stated, many intelligent thinking men and women, who are leaders in various denominations, are leaving the same to unite with the Cause of Christian Science, it is because Christian Science offers to them something which is evidently more satisfactory to their religious cravings than they have been able to find in their former church connections. This is a time of practical things, outgrown and outworn ecclesiastical dogmas and creeds are no longer sufficient to satisfy the enlightened religious thought of this age. Christian Science has presented to the world a satisfactory, reasonable, logical, and practical teaching of the truth, and the fact that intelligent people in and out of the denominations have accepted it and found peace within its borders is significant in itself. It is perhaps needless to say that no effort, whether organized or unorganized, whether in the open or subtle, can ever overthrow a positive and demonstrable teaching of the truth. If the Church has failed to meet the practical needs of its membership, the Church should take pattern by Christian Science, which is meeting those needs and presenting to the world the teachings of our Master in their completeness.
