CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.

By California Christian Advocate

THERE is no malady more difficult of treatment than Christian Science. It is a system based upon the physical weakness of humanity with an appeal to mental pride. Its impulse is fanaticism. It is a determination to evade the indictment of conscience. There are tens of thousands of people living in the twilight of Christianity. They have a dim and imperfect knowledge of what salvation by faith in Christ is, but they have no adequate conception of the constitution of religion. They think it is a sort of patent medicine for physical ills primarily. There is not much organic strength in the Christian Science system. It is largely a reaction from materialistic rationalism on the one hand and Christian indifferentism on the other. The way to fight Christian Science is to proclaim a real Christ, and wake up along the line, and go to work for the salvation of our neighbors.—California Christian Advocate.
