In
passing one of our national banks the other day, my attention was arrested by the display in the window of what appeared to be two one-dollar bills.
The evangelist has had many harsh things to say of Christian Science in his sermons, and I would be glad if you would give me space in your columns to say a few words in behalf of this new Christian teaching.
As wit is generally merciless, we can understand why the Free Lance uses ridicule for sharpening its points; but as every one is not familiar with the reason for it, and as ridicule often deters those interested in learning the truth from investigation, I ask the privilege of straightening out a few of the statements regarding Christian Science in a recent article in the Evening Sun.

effective response to all the demands upon us, as parents, practitioners, and public citizens, constitutes a heavy load, is a proposition to which some of us may often be tempted to concede; and that the dominion of this sense does not represent the freedom which Christ Jesus declared was to be gained through a knowledge of Truth, goes without saying.

No
faith is living faith indeedThat from earth's fetters is not freed;A faith that builds on moving sand,Thereon Truth's temple cannot stand!Faith in the things the senses know,Faith in this world's deceitful show,Such faith no mountains can remove,And never may Truth's power prove.
