| The Antidote to Christian Science or How to Deal with It from the Bible and Christian Point of View
James M. Gray, Author

Introductory (pp. 5-6)
In what follows on the subject of Christian Science the writer disclaims any intention of attacking individuals, either the founder of the cult or other of its representatives. Among the latter he counts friends who would serve him at personal sacrifice and for whom he entertains similar regard. indeed, to use the language of one recently withdrawn from its ranks, "there are doubtless thousands of pure-minded, noble-hearted, self-sacrificing men and women to be found within them." ("Reasons for Withdrawing from Christian Science," Rabbi Wertheimer.)
He would go even further, and admit that in not a few cases they are men and women seeking lofty ideals. Men and women who, when counted as members of the Christian Church, were among the most spiritually-minded (though not the most scripturally-intelligent) of those members, and went out into Christian Science to obtain that which the Church appeared impotent to give, and which they believed it ought to give.
The pathos of their departure, alas! has reache the proportions of a tragedy, and God alone knows upon which lies the heavier guilt, those who left or those whose indifference and worldliness forced them to go. ... In dealing with i the writer's purpose is first, to show how Christian Science antagonizes the Bible; secondly, how the Bible antagonizes Christian Science; thirdly, to set forth the remedy or antidote for it so far as the Christian Church is concerned, and finally to set before the Church what it may learn from Christian Science. The title of Part Three has been given to the whole book as best setting forth the idea of its conception in the author's mind. ... James M. Gray
