CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS AeITATeD

Over n Lecture Delivered by Rev. DIR. SAN
ford Cobb, of Grand Rapids.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Feb. 20-Rev DIR.
Sanford Cobb, pastor of the leading Presby-
terrain church here, has stirred up the Chris
tan scientists. In public lecture Tuesday
night he said
Christian scientists deny the reality of mate
rial things. They believe that when person
sees thing, that is no proof that the thing
exists. The only thing they believe TO exist is
the idea. A man with the headache only had
it in his mind and really had no pain. L. he
shuts his finger in the door and feels the pain
and see the blood dripping from the broken
flesh, according TO the logic of Christian sci
ence, there is really no blood or body there and
the whole thing only u sensational experience.
But all the same u Christian scientist would
run from n burning house Us quickly as any
body else. There is no logic or argument in
Christian scientist books; all is assumption, de-
NAL of facts and senscless gable They can
furnish no proof, as every true science must,
and are only sustained by tho idealst Why
should they not be able to remove hunger the
same as disease, il the body and food put into
it are only an idea? There Is no reason why,
by their theory, they should not be able to
eat, keep warm and sleep in their minds The
whole theory is blasphemy. Carry it out and
one must believe that man could be conceived
by woman without being begotten by man
as Christ was. No one can morally accept tho
theory as true and remain a Christian The
whole theory is in its name like the lass i'm the
lions skin"
There are many Christian scientists in the
city, and they are considerably agitated over
the lecture.
