From the Utica (Ill.) Weekly Gazette we take the following:—
The Baptist ministers of Chicago, at their regular meeting a week ago Monday, assailed Christian Science. While they declared the growth of the Scientists to be phenomenal, and admitted they performed cures, they said the cures were effected by the "law of suggestion;" and that they would not subscribe to the tenets of the Scientists because of their "belief in the infallibility of Mrs. Eddy, her fantastic interpretation of the Bible, her misconception of some of its most open truths, the contradictions shown in her teachings, and the faultiness of her philosophy."
Since these Christian Scientists, with their understanding of the Scriptures, are doing what we "orthodox" Christians with our interpretations are not doing, viz., healing the sick, allow us gently to make the "suggestion" that it might be well for us to lay aside our own "infallibility" and proceed to examine our own selves, to see if we be in the faith (2 Corinthians, 13: 5; 1 Corinthians, 11: 28-30). Such self-examination might result in our making the discovery that our own interpretations are "fantastic," our own concept ions "misconceptions," our own teachings "contradictory," our own philosophy "faulty."
