This noted Baptist clergyman's article on Christian Science, in Fire and Hammer,—a small Chicago sheet,—smells a good deal of spent powder. I quote this sentence, which is perhaps new:
We do not question that the practitioners of this Science are in some way effecting marked cures; nor do we charge them with practising any wilful imposture.
As to the charge of pantheism, if he understood Christian Science, the reverend gentleman would realize how pantheistic are the views he now entertains. As regards theosophy, he has as much fellowship with it as we.
The hammer is good; so is the fire; but let the hammer strike while the iron is hot, and let it not strike amiss.
