AN UNPREJUDICED OBSERVER

From the December 1895 issue of The Christian Science Journal


We make the following extract from a long and interesting article recently published in the Inter-Ocean of Chicago, written by a correspondent from Boston.

An unprejudiced observer would certainly be greatly puzzled to explain the uncompromisingly bellicose attitude maintained by many Christian people, including a majority, perhaps, of the clergy, toward the movement generally known under the name of Christian Science, but frequently referred to, contemptuously, as "Boston's latest religious fad."

The sublimations of this sufficiently egotistic thought-center may not hope to be spared the gauntlet of legitimate criticism, but the fact that this movement so unequivocally asserts its loyalty to the Bible, to Jesus Christ, and to the highest spiritual and altruistic ideals, would seem to bespeak for it a more patient and considerate hearing than it seems to have received at the hands of very many Christian people.
