DOUBT DISPLACED

AT the time when the rulers were accusing Christ Jesus of unlawful practices, and scheming to put him out of the way, John the Baptist, who had been cast into prison by Herod, heard of the wonderful works wrought by Jesus and which had so roused the wrath and jealousy of the rulers, and he sent messengers to inquire if he were really the Messiah, or whether they should look for another.

A large percentage of the membership of the Christian Science church were formerly consistent working members in the various orthodox churches, and it is a fair assumption to say that if these churches had ministered to the needs of these people they would not have become afflicted with a "waning faith" which would lead them into the acceptance of what the good doctor is pleased to term a "half-truth.
