Christian Science Is Neither Christian Nor Science

By San Francisco Chronicle

THAT fad of the present day, which calls itself "Christian science," is a misnomer in every respect, for it is neither Christian nor science. Ostensibly based upon the tenet of the Christian religion, the logical sequence of its dogmas is the denial of the necessity for the redemption of the world by the mediation and death of Jesus Christ, and such a denial obviously destroys its claim to be called "Christian." As to its science, it pretends to the exercise of miraculous powers of healing, and every miracle is a flat contradiction of science, so that it can lay no more claim to science than to Christianity.—San Francisco Chronicle.
