The significance of this great religious movement, Christian Science, is evidently not comprehended by some, judging by the character or spirit of recent events.
The Scriptures, especially the New Testament, are very explicit as to the occurrence, possibly we might say the recurrence, of certain events, and the coming, appearing, of an agency or influence which shall not only indicate the demarcation between the material and the spiritual eras of the world, but shall effect the transformation.
It is self-evident that the nature of the causes which bring about this change, must be that of the principles which are to obtain in the coming age; also that each participant therein, must be harmonious in his expressions, thoughts, and feelings; hence we have but one criterion by which we can test those efforts, movements, means, and ideas, which may be advanced and claimed as such causes, or incidental thereto.
