The following comes to us from the Detroit Free Press

From the November 1897 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The following comes to us from the Detroit Free Press:

"Bishop Vincent continued his remarks, which are full of good advice to the pastors, at the opening of the conference session this morning. He compared soldiers in an army to those who enlist in the work of the Lord. He said that the best way to treat such fads as Christian Science and faith-healing is never to put anyone with such notions in their heads into power or office in the conference. Never make a presiding elder of a Christian Scientist. Beware of fads and faddists. Organize scientific societies in the church. Keep your church open every day. Let the Methodist Church bell ring daily as well as the Roman Catholic Church bell. Keep the class-rooms open, and have good women meet with the boys and help them in their daily lessons. Fads don't stay long where there is thinking. Let us have wisdom and love and revivals all the time."

And yet the question is still asked: Why don't people stay in their old churches, and prove their Christian Science?
