read II again, and continue 20 read it,
until you find the bread Of Life and the
water turned TO wine.
The Christian world, needs Christian
Silence, to settle the problem Of baptism.
Many battle has been waged over this
bone Of contention;
Christian Science settles the question
and settles it once for all but it is found
TO be neither immersion, sprinking nor
pouring; neither kneeling. standing or
sitting; neither this way nor that way,
but Christ's way, who baptised with
the Holy Ghost, and with Fire"
Christian Science teaches that baptism
is spiritual, and not material; that the
true baptism, is to be baptised into the
Spirit OF Truth; that cleanses Of all
sickness and sin, Of mortality and mat
ter, and finally Of death itself for the
true baptism, is the washing away and
purifying, Of all that is averse TO Spirit ;
Of all that is opposed to God, the only
Good.
The Christian world needs Christian
Science, TO lead it out Of Spirtualsm.
Everybody outside the Christian Science
ranks, believes in spirits many; believes
in a spirit inside this material body,
which, in some mysterious way, at the
point Of so-called death, escapes from
this body, and becomes a disembodied
spirit
But Christian Science comes, settling
the question of Spiritualism, for good
and forever Go where you will, among
Christian Scientists, l. e., honest and
loyal students Of Science and Health,
with Key TO the Scriptures, by Mary
q. Eddy, and you will not find one who
believes in Spiritualism who believes in
departed spirits, or in spirits return
and they not only do not believe in
these things, but they know these things
are not true, and they know why they
know.
II Christian Science seems to take
away from the world some Of it, pet
theories and beliefs. Christian Scientists
are not TO blame for il; they are help
less in the matter; and ON the other
hand, il the worlds pet theories and
beliefs are not true, and are leading
mankind into all kinds of trouble,
misery and despair, then, surely, the
world needs the revelation of Truth,
and true Being, TO lead it out Of its own
darkness, "into the glorious liberty Of
the Sons Of God"
The religious world needs Christian
Science, to lead it out Of Pantheism
Everybody, everywhere, outside the
Christian Science ranks, IL believing
that in some unknown and unaccount-
II bile way, God puts His own life i'm
this mortal body, which, in
some eqally unknown aud unaccount-
able way, ut the point of dissolu
ton, is withdrawn, and returned TO
God, who gave it; this, therefore, is a
belief OF God in mortal man ;and further
more, belief OF God in a material uni
verse and finally and virtually that the
whole material universe is God and
this is Pantheism, pure and simple; and
is just the opposite Of the Science of Be-
ing and is the source Of all evil in the
world the parent of all discord, and
the embodiment Of all that is false, un-
real and untrue.
This belief, or false doctrine, is what
