We have received notice from time to time of a man...

From the July 1898 issue of The Christian Science Journal


We have received notice from time to time of a man traveling about through parts of Iowa and Nebraska representing himself to be a Christian Scientist, who, according to all accounts, is an impostor. He is described as a clubfooted man, of medium height, dark complexion, and carries a cane.

One of his stories is that he has had his pockets picked and is out of money. A considerable number of Scientists seem to have given him aid on the strength of his plausible but varied tales. The last name we have heard of his bearing is Patterson. We warn the Field against this person. May we not also suggest that it is well for the Field to bear in mind that not all who glibly talk Christian Science are to be accepted as genuine followers of Truth? "Not every one that saith, Lord, Lord," etc.
