The following paragraph is quoted from a recent number of the Congregationalist:—
"That the British Weekly should begin a series of papers on Christian Science, written in a colloquial vein to make them popular, and descriptive of the worship, tenets, and practices of the Christian Science folk in London, indicates that Dr. W. Robertson Nicoll is convinced that it has won a foothold in Great Britain and needs to be squarely faced and combated. Have most of our clergy any idea how Christian Science is nourishing in this country, how many of our country towns have practitioners and Sunday assemblages and devotees who travel far to worship when they cannot find a conventicle in their own town?"
The astonishing part of the article lies in the words, "squarely faced and combated."
