What specimen of science is a wolf in sheep's clothing, beyond an ass whose ears stick out? What tender hearted mind-curer has discovered an improvement on Christian Science, metaphysical healing, by which error destroys error, and would gather all sorts into "a national convention" with the sophistry that such is the true fold for Christian healers, and the Good Shepherd cares for all.
