Ponder this. — The writer has been for the past eighteen months, pastor of two Christian Science churches located near each other in an interior State; and a part of that time of a third church in close proximity to the other two. All three churches were organized on the basis of Christian Science. Connected with these churches, as members and regular attendants, are probably about sixty families.
Now, during all these eighteen months there has not been a single death or serious illness among all these families. Slight troubles, such as colds, etc., have occasionally appeared, but they yielded quickly to Christian Science treatment.
It is asked, Have there been deaths and alarming sicknesses in the communities where these churches are planted? i. e.; among those who are not Christian Scientists?
Indeed there have, and in large numbers. Fear and foreboding have been constant visitors in many a household made up of those who ridicule and oppose the Truth.
"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." Surely in this paragraph is food for serious reflection.
