Oakland, February 27, 1898.—At the Church of the Advent in East Oakland, the Rev. V. Marshall Law, pastor, delivered the first of a series of sermons on "The Healing Power, Ancient and Modern." Speaking of Christian Science the pastor said:—
"Christian Science is of especial interest to all of us, because there sit in this congregation at this moment people who have been cured by Christian Science, while others here, as in every other congregation in Oakland, know of unquestioned cures among their friends accomplished by this strange method, which denies the reality of matter, hence the unreality of the body or any disease which the mind believes may afflict these unreal structures of ours which we call bodies. The actual results of all fair-minded men in search of truth demand that we recognize the truth of their cures, which are confronting us on every hand.
