Remarks OF Judge II. j. MaoLcy az the
Meeting Of the Reform Christian Sci
ence Church, March 20. 1901.
1T was announced at our last ex-
perience meeting Wednesday, 18th
inst, that the so-called church of
Christ Scientist, had formulated and
issued an edict under the instruction
of the supreme head for the destruc-
ton of the Reform Christian Science
Church.
"As a member Of that organization,
affected by anything that Injuries it
organically, ! deem it proper to notice
the fact mentioned in that communi-
cation. In dealing with the head Of
that sO-called church of Christ, | will
eliminate from my consideration what
ever touches her as a woman and deal
with her only as a public teacher as
one protesting to be the subject Of di-
vine revelation and to be commits
stoned as the inspired instructor Of her
fellow beings | shall not deal with
Mrs. Eddy's personal record; that
would indeed fatigue the indignation
if were to touch upon it.
THE tests of every system by which
we are to ascertain the principles upon
which ii is built must be its eXposi-
tion by its professed and acknowledg-
ed founder Mrs. Eddy claims to be
the discoverer of the fundamental prin-
ciples of Christian Science, and espe-
cially she declares that the statement
of the Science OF Being was revealed
to her by God in the year 1867, 1t
does not require a large acquaintance
with philosophical or religious litera-
ture to test the Truth Of that claim, as
one who enters any great public Ii
brary of this country and stretches out
his hand and takes down the works OF
Berkeley, bishop of Cloyne, Ireland,
can find that this alleged revelation
to the head of the so-called Church of
Christ Scientist was declared TO the
world by Berkeley in the year Of l710.
Berkeley was a man as illustrious for
his achevments in the realms Of sci
ence as he was worthy of veneration
for his personal character. He states
distinctly that there is no life, intelli.
gence, or sensation in matter; that
Mind is All in All, and not only has
Mrs. Eddy appropriated his idea, but
she has appropriated IL most migrate
fully, appropriating in great part the
very words of Berkeley, and yet he is
unnamed in the volume upon which the
fame Of Mrs Eddy is founded as a pub
lie teacher.
Though a lecture was delivered by
Colonel Sabin in Massachusetts, over
year ago i'm which the statement Of the
Science of Being was properly accre-
dited to Berkeley by him. Mrs Eddy
remained silent until thirty days ago,
when in the columns Of the New York
Journal she admitted that she had
read the works Of Berkeley and agreed
with him, as puerile an admission as
If one claimed to have recently dis.
covered the law Of Attraction and
Gravitation. which holds the earth
and her sister planets in their orbits,
and when the discovery was attributed
TO Sir Isaac Newton and the fraudu-
lent claim exposed, should come out
and declare I agree with Sir Isaac
Newton
"NOw, II Is not revelation by his
torical tests because previously pub
lished itisnot a revelation when tested
by the Bible. Mrs Eddy In her work
distinctly charges upon Christ a con-
summate fraud. Fourteen times did
He announced TO His disciples before
His crucifxion that He would be
killed; that he would he put to death
and that He would rise again the third
day, but this book specifically denies
that Jesus died upon the cross. She
declares that not His dead body. but
His living body was entombed. and
that In the darkness Of the sepulchre
He treated Himself. and walked forth
from it's gloom. That Is her specific
denial, and II Is not a revelation, for It
directly contradicts the Bible Truth.
She distinctly decries prayer and de-
