We feel sure that our readers will join with us in thanking the Herald for so promptly and unequivocally refuting this "oft-repeated falsehood" which has been circulated quite industriously in order to impugn the good faith of Mrs. Eddy and her followers.
Just why those to whom humanity is deeply indebted should be misrepresented and maligned is somewhat of a mystery to all who do not understand the subtle nature of evil, but that this is no new phase of the workings of the evil one is proved by Jesus' query to those who sought to take him in the Temple, "Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those do you stone me?" "The world, the flesh, and the devil" were active in bearing false witness even in those early days.
Is it not time to change all this, and to inaugurate an era of truth-telling? Certainly nothing has been gained for the world by the campaign of untruth fulness which has been waged for forty years against Christian Science and its Founder. Why not stop it? Why not join in helping along the good work which Christian Science is doing, even if its doctrines be not accepted, instead of hindering this work by raising doubt in the minds of those who have vainly looked for health and salvation in other quarters?
