MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH OF CHRIST NOT TO BE CONFOUNDED WITH SPIRITUALISTS.

From the April 1895 issue of The Christian Science Journal

The Daily News


The members of the Church of Christ, Scientist, take no stock in the efforts of the medicos to shut out the scientists from the practice of the healing art in Colorado. The society is the oldest of the Christian scientist organizations in Denver and occupies a beautiful building on Logan avenue, between Seventeenth and Eighteenth. The regular attendants at the church are among the most educated and refined people of the city. In the absence of the Rev. Mr. Norcross from the city, Mr. Clark expresses the views of the members as to the proposed law.

"We have no fear of any act the legislature may pass," said he, "as it is impossible for man to prevail against God. Our church is not to be confounded with so-called religious scientist societies down town. We are the only true Christian scientists in Denver. We accept Mrs. Eddy's great book and the Bible as our foundation. We will pay no attention to any effort from outside sources to interfere with the teaching of the truth, as we understand it."

Mr. Clark stated that on the first Sunday of the month a committee of two. purporting to come from societies, in other parts of the city, had called at the Logan avenue church and invited the church to unite in opposition to the proposed bill. The committee was politely received but the society firmly declined to take any hand in the fight.
