unreality of sin Mr.. Kimball asks, what

find it as long as hell lasts, but it is just
as reasonable to ask What would be.

conceal the fact that they do not mean
the personal intelligence and will indicat-
ed in the bible. They talk OF Christ being
divine, but they conceal their meaning
as they believe Mother Eddy to be divine.
They talk OF sin as being the cause OF
sickness, but have before me, as write,
these words from magazine copy

nothing. There il no room for even the

blood of Jesus Christ, His son, cleanseth

Scientists deny the Lord who redeemed
them and put the son of God afresh
to an open shame. In all of Mr..
Kimball's remarks there was not
word OF what makes up the body OF the
New Testament viz: Christ tasting death
for man, Christ dying, the Just for the
unjust, redemption in his blood. The
necessity of repentance, forgiveness, re-
generation and OF Judgment to come.
Mr.. Kimball himself may believe in the
Bible, as he affirmed, but the system he

1t is utterly unchristian and its false
labels is delusion and q snare. 1t is
akin to the crime of Ingersoll who pla-
CARRIED the sentiments OF the sermon on
the mount, put upon them his own ag.

the products OF his blatant paganism.
Mr.. KimbaIl would have us believe
that while there is no sin, no room for
even the appearance of sin, it is yet a sin
to be afraid that you get your feet wet
you will take cold Now no one believes
that he will take cold by simply getting
his feet wet. or no one would ever wash
his feet. Mr.. Kimball must make bet
ter statement OF his case. However, the
impossibiity of the eighty per cent of
water in human body taking cold by
getting wet, leads me to suggest an ex.
pertinent to Mr.. Kimball. Atmospheric

eighty per cent OF atmospheric air will

he has now reduced them to one mil

Scientists get hold of some pervous,
hysterical people and people who nurse
the belief that they are sick when they
are not, and Of others who are poison

drugs, and do them good, just as good
