Your application of Magna Charta to the Board of Education, and Christian Science, shews that eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.
In an age of polite learning, and scientific research, certainly Christian ScienceAs Written:C. S. should stand for a higher standard than literary As Written: liteary indigence of a squalid character.

The reply to my mind, the defense was complete, and furnished by the [?] Unclear or illegible itself, provided the weapon had been wielded with a strong arm – that response should have appeared to the readers of the Atlantic Monthly. McCrackan (I think) silenced the batteries of Artemas Ward effectually (Mark Twain).Editorial Note: This may be a reference to four articles by Mark Twain about Christian Science, published in the North American Review beginning in December 1902. William Denison McCrackan responded with an article in the March 1903 issue of the North American Review. He replied in the same Journal.
The awakening of sleepers and thinkers to the unfoldments of Christian ScienceAs Written:C. S. is approaching by rapid strides to a sharp crisis– In this view, I should fall far short of my duty, did I not from a wider field of survey, frankly confess to you that I cannot conceive a more disastrous blow to this budding unfoldment than Farlows answer to Churchman – I am a patient long suffering reader of twaddle of all kinds, daily, but I could not stand this stuff for five minutes- Churchmans letter has a significant tendency towards an atmosphere of rationalistic negation but Farlows deals in common places, vapid dregs, an unwholesome agglomeration of mere words. Farlow, has no one of the gifts of literary As Written: liteary expression, no penetrating rationalism, no scholarship no faculty of philosophic meditation – no large organic or constructive conception of Christian ScienceAs Written:C.
