EVANGELICAL ONSLAUGHTS

From the June 1888 issue of The Christian Science Journal


An evangelist was holding meetings in a Massachusetts town recently, giving special attention to Bible Readings. Among other subjects, which came up for discussion, was the healing of the woman who had an issue of blood. After describing this case the missionary branched off into the subject of Christian Science, which he denounced as the most dreadful doctrine of the century. He also spoke very disrespectfully of Rev. M. B. G. Eddy, making erroneous statements about her.

Of Jesus he said, in substance, that his hearers could take the Master for what they pleased. Some might receive him as their Redeemer, through his death; others might take him as a good man, who saved them by his example; while others again might find in him a healer. As for himself, the evangelist said he had not faith enough to take Jesus for a physical healer.

Furthermore, after abusing our Science generally, he declared that there was not a Christian in the whole of our Church.
