From the August 1898 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The editor of Zion's Herald, published in Boston, is among those who seem to have an uncontrollable antipathy to Christian Science. He has taken frequent occasion to say unpleasant and un-Christian things concerning it. In a recent issue he again empties a small phial of wrath upon our devoted heads. He calls the movement a "silly craze," and intimates that all connected with it are somewhat unbalanced or laboring under a mild, yet dangerous, form of insanity. We regret that our movement so troubles the peace and equilibrium of our good friend. "We fear he will not travel Zionward as rapidly as he should until he becomes less bitter and more tolerant.

We fear that this Herald of Zion comes within some of the prophecies in Lamentations; possibly this one:—

"The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness."
