The extract from the Bridgeport Conn. Union, appearing in our last number scarcely states the case of the Christian Scientists correctly. Referring to them it says, "These tight back, and a periodical called the Living Issues, has been established to combat the attempts of the doctors to break down the Scientists."
The mistakes in said article are, first, that the Scientists are not fighting back, or fighting in any other way; second, the Living Issues has not been established by or in behalf of Christian Scientists, but is entirely independent of them, although from a sense of justice, advocating the rights of Scientists to heal the sick in their own way and by their own method of treatment. In the extract found on page 28 of the last Journal, it will be seen that the editor of the Living Issues expressly disclaims being a Scientist.
In appearing before certain committees of the legislatures of some of the states, the Scientists were not at all in a belligerent attitude, but went to ask simple justice at the hands of those bodies, that they might not be unnecessarily or unjustly hampered in their healing work by prejudicial laws.
