The other day, in a call at the house of a Universalist clergyman, the subject of Christian Science came up. Presently the family spoke of a lady who had been in a strange way, in a mentally and physically dangerous condition, ever since the death of her child; and the minister said: "If no other good was ever done by Christian Science than the restoration of mental health to this woman, it would be a blessing to the community." Then his wife added: "You have no idea what a changed woman she is, so improved is she in mind and body."
Later, the clergyman said: "Judging from what we hear of it,— and we hear of it on all sides,—Christian Science is multiplying its disciples; and I cannot see that the belief can do any harm."
The brother's words recalled a certain declaration in the New Testament, referring to a time when "the Lord added to the Church daily of such as should be saved."
