The
thoughtful observer of the times will ask as the question of today, What is the form of church government most consistent with the teaching and practice of Christian Science, and why is it so?
The
disastrous results of working in the negative may confront even the best of Scientists at times, and to the young student in particular this confusing experience is only too common.
If Christian Science practice were such as our critic indicates, no Christian Scientist could endorse it, but we are glad to say that he has not described adequately the practice of Christian Science.
If there is so much Scriptural justification for sin, sickness, and misery as our critic contends, why did the Saviour spend so much of his time while on the earth eliminating such conditions from human experience, at the same time declaring that his "mighty works" were in fulfilment of the law and in direct accord with the divine will?
