I am not a Christian Scientist, nor is the New Commonwealth published in the interest of that church, but I sincerely admire the spirit of brotherly love in which Scientists always answer criticisms of their doctrine.
There was a day when the public was ready to believe that Christian Scientists said, "There is nothing ails you, for you have no head to ache;" but now the spontaneous inquiry is, Why does Christian Science grow so rapidly?
There
is an old Latin proverb which translated reads, "He is wise who talks but little," and on encountering it recently I was led to reflect how well it expresses our proper attitude toward the public in regard to Christian Science, which primarily is to be known by its works.
