If it be true, as stated by the editor of the New York Christian Advocate, in remarks quoted in a recent issue, that "vague ideas" taught in some of the churches have turned thousands of persons to Christian Science, is it logical or reasonable to assume that this is discreditable to Christian Science? Does it not, on the contrary, imply that this new teaching has been found by these thousands of persons to offer something tangible in place of the "vague ideas" referred to? There are, of course, numerous reasons for the drift from so-called orthodoxy to Christian Science. One which doubtless has appealed to many earnest persons is the quiet emphasis it places on fact that an individual who accepts the opportunities its teachings reveal for self-improvement will find no time for criticizing the beliefs of others, which may not be fully understood. Christian Science and "New Thought" could not be associated in an intelligent discussion of either, as they are utterly unlike.
