CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

ANALYSED.

REV. H. V. KOOP ON ITS CLAIMS.

SUNDAY'S SERMON.

Jesus naid: "Take heed that yo be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying I am Christ; go ye not therefore after them. (Luke 21.8).

Rev. I. V. Koop chose this text) with which to open his sermon on: "Is Christian. Science Christiani- ty" when he spoke at St. John's Cathedral on Sunday.

It was a disappointment to find a re-hash of that it was largely

which were long ago rejected as being atterly incompatible with the revelation of God in Christ. There was some excuse for those second century hercties, who were humble seekers after truth, and did not a little to compel the scholars of the Christian church to think out their gospel and state it in clear terms.

Not Much Excuse.
