From the April 1893 issue of The Christian Science Journal


A CALIFORNIA minister of the Gospel has recently sent out among his brother clergymen a paper in the nature of an appeal to them to know, "What should be the action of pastors in relation to" Christian Science. He starts out by saying that

"The immediate occasion of this paper may he found in the recent reply of a prominent clergyman to a member of his church who had asked him why he opposed divine healing by the Lord Jesus, but had not a word to say against healing by Christian Science, which was leading so many of his church astray?"

"His reply was: 'I can't for the life of me see the difference between the two. These people are, as I believe good Christian people, and they say that all their power for healing comes from God, and that Christ is become to them more of a reality than ever before. Pray tell me where the difference lies? Others of the laity declare they never understood the gospel of salvation, nor had any comfort in it, until they wont into Christian Science, and in many cases were healed by it.'"
