Wilkes–Barre (Pa.) Record
"A lecture on Christian Science, the first of a series on 'Modern Humbugs,'" was the startling thesis in huge letters that greeted the eye last week in front of one of our churches. This placarding reveals clearly that "on earth peace, good will toward men," does not long endure after the glad holiday season, and as a working ideal for a workaday world is not wholly successful. Indeed, this advertisement at the portals of a church whose basis is love, seems a proof of the failure of its great purpose, at least in so far as this particular branch of a great church is concerned. It signifies an intolerance as bigoted as that of the dark ages of religion, and implies that in this great world, where with seven primary colors the landscape is decked in varied beauty of myriads of shades, man, the paragon of creation, shall paint his aspirations after God in but one color.
To set ourselves up as watchmen of the night, empowered to distinguish between truth and error, seems in these days an arrogation of authority very disputable. The writer is not a Christian Scientist, but a lover of humanity who believes that truth, like beauty, dwells in the eye of the beholder.
