being her third lecture here. The house
was 80 crowded that some were Obliged
to listen from the outside of the doors
and windows. The subject of her dis
course. was '"rl,c Nature and Mission of
Christ" In her remarks, she stated that
christian science" draws a distinction
between Jesus and the Christ. Jesus be-
ing that personality visible to mortal
eyes. whose purity of thought reaches to

that same tlawless mind in order 10 step
into Christ, (haying the same mind that
is in Christ Jesus.l So Jesus is the step

in his likeness, where all is spiritual and

work Of Jesus Christ was to make the at

lie suffered for us in teaching us to de-
stroy all error, with the facts Of almighty
truth. The material blood of Jesus does
not wash away sin, but tits destroyed by
the power Of that Christ purity, Of which
the material blood and flesh is Il type.
1t was this purity or spirituality Jesus
referred to when lie said, "WLOsoever
eateth my flesh and drnketl my blood,
hath eternal life." At the close OF the
lecture, the audience were invited to ask
questions, and this conversational part
Of the lecture brought out further in
struction. Several asking questions
which the lecturer answered as clearly
as possible. The ministers here have
made this subject of Miss Sutton and
christian science" the subject of their
discourses, ever since Miss Sutton first
lectured here, which keeps the interest
up. On Sunday evening, September eth,
Rev. W. X. Morrison took for his text,
jeremiah, 9th chap. and 10Th verse, and
then took Miss SuttOns lectures and gave
his opinion of the science as enunciated
by her, stating that we should hunt out
the old paths in preference to following
the new, as in his text. lie said that
Miss Sutton, in her last lecture, gave as
fine III eulogy of Jesus Christ us he ever
heard, but so did Tom Paine and Bob

ian science" denies the divinity Of Christ
and takes away that beautiful belief,
that we, az Methodists believe, that God,
the father, AMI Christ, the son, are one.
After criticising the Christian SCIENCE
belief, that all is illusion 20 far as the
material in this world is concerned,
which he called rot and nonsense, he
said, 81 would like to meet Miss Sutton
OH the same platform as her answers to
my questions ut her last lecture were
very vague and unsatisfactory; she say
ing, you look at it from one stand point,
while do from another" The rever-
end gentleman gave very eloquent and
forcible denunciation Of the principles of
christian SCIENCE" as lie understood
them, closing by hoping that his hearers
would follow the teachings of his text
and stay in the old paths, or hunt up the
old paths, and become purer and better,
and not follow any new path. Your cor
respondent has been requested by
number of the leading citizens, to ex-
press the hope that when Miss Sutton
lectures OH the evening of the 18th inst.
Mr.. Morrison will meet her there and
discuss the question, alternately ten
minutes each, SO that the community will
have the opportunity of hearing both
sides Of the question, 20 that they can
come to more intelligent conclusions.
