So the ministers have really taken up the discussion of what is known, variously, as Christian Science, faith healing, and prayer cure, and are not at one upon the question. It is probable that they do not know any more about it than laymen, unless they have made a special study of it, but when a reverend gentleman takes it upon himself to say, as one has done, that "Christian Science is the counterfeit of the art of divine healing, which has been lost by the church and taken up by the devils," he should be reminded of the words of his Lord and Master, who, in reply to a similar objection, said, with all possible charity, "By their fruits shall ye know them," and of whom the Pharisees said, "He casteth out devils through the prince of devils." —San Francisco Chronicle
