Since
the publication of the article, "The Integrity of Christian Science Literature," in our issue of August 15, we have been given an opportunity to inspect three papers of the kind referred to.
WITHIN
the past few weeks some daily newspapers have had considerable to say about the new edition of the Church Manual, and through them an effort has been made to convey the impression that radical changes have taken place in the internal economy of the Christian Science denomination.
Will
those beloved students whose growth is taking in the Ten Commandments and scaling the steep ascent of Christ's Sermon on the Mount, accept profound thanks for their swift messages of rejoicing over the Twentieth Century Church Manual?
THE
advance of the cause of Christian Science has disclosed a human capacity for hasty judgment and unintelligent criticism upon the part of many men of place and distinction, which is equally surprising and unfortunate, and a collection of the distorted and untrue statements which have been made respecting this Cause and its Leader in religious periodicals and other publications of conventional good standing, would surely bring a sense of humiliation to every noble-minded man.
WHEN
the great Teacher prepared the students whom he first called, for their work of healing, he gave them certain definite instructions which would be of great value to Christian Scientists, if understood and obeyed.
ANXIETY
to win the approval of the world may tempt us, perhaps unconsciously, to color our statements to suit our auditors and to make concessions from the absolute line of Science.
