A minister in a western city preached a sermon on the "Facts and Fallacies of Christian Science." A local Scientist replied to this sermon in public, and prefaced his remarks by saying: "On listening to his sermon, I was surprised to note that the reverend gentleman did not say one word against Christian Science—but merely made an attack on his conception of it; which, by the way, was not in the slightest degree similar to what students of the Science understand it to be."
These remarks are equally applicable in the thousand and one other instances of unwarranted attack from the pulpit.
Each one is apt to think his "problem" harder than that of any other. May we be permitted to suggest that, from our point of observation, there is no monopoly in this respect?
If we were asked, What is the sin most difficult of destruction? we would say, self-righteousness.
One would better be awakened by hard knocks or rough shaking, than to remain forever asleep.
Christianity is a religion of Science, not merely of human sentiment, or opinion.
