MARCH OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Horse Doctors, Dog Doctors, and
Z Lamb Doctors Must Beware.
But In Christian Science it isn't only
| the NJ. d. IS that are threatened. Let the
| veterinaries look out for themselves. May
| L. Wallace, of Jefferson, Col, has had
| several good demonstrations with ami
| mails, having healed horses of strained
| kidneys and collie several times when
they were in intense pain l also healed
a horse where the muscles of both the
hind and front legs had been laid open
by barbed WIRE and it was thought he
would never be of any more use.
Mrs A p S.. of Bradshaw. Neb., tes-
tifies: My husband gave me two lambs
to treat One was blind, and the other
acted as though it were crazy. He had
thought of killing them to get them out
of their misery. / treated them, and they
were forgotten for some time. when, one
day l ask ed him about them, and he
said they were all right. have had 9TH
er demonstrations as good as this ana
some failures
It don't doubt it in the least. He said
they were all right. / can hear him say
it
Il myself personally know-now, this is
a matter of my own experience-that
woman said she cured a dog of mango
and a cat of fits JUSTIFY Christian Sci
ence Some may pooh-pooh this; but
know for a certainty that she told me
she did.
But 1t isn't the NJ. g and the veter-
inaries and the-dog doctors that need to
look out for Christian Science. What S
to become of the florists IL dropping and
withered rubber plants can be restored to
vigor merely by reading our textbook,
etc. to them? Plenty of wel-authenti-
Gated cases of that. What's to become of
organ-builders. repairers. and tuners II
church organs can be fixed all right sim
ply by denying error. as Mrs Augusta b.
Stetson First Reader of the First Church
OF Christ Scientist, New York. says they
can? What's to become of machinists and
manufacturers of printing presses if
Washington, ID. c., Scientist, solely by
holding truth in thought and without the
adventitious aid of even a monkey-wrench
can make as good as new an old rattle
trap of a printing press that spilled
double handful of type at every revolu-
ters' and Marbleworkers' Union if rank
outsiders that pay no dues and use no
chisels can remove the wrong words from
a block of marble and put the right ones
on simply by thinking about it, as in the
case of the cornerstone of the Second
Church of Christ Scientist, New York, a
structure of palatiai magnificence? What
is the use of spending money for costly
steam fire-engines, the salaries of a fire
department and its up-keep, when, as in
a recent case in Havana, Cuba, certified
by the well-known logician and thinker.
II j. w Dam, all that was necessary to
ex.inguish pool of flaming kerosene
running from the oil-stove on the kitchen
floor, the doorframes blazing and snap
ping in the fervent heat. was to stand and
look at and try to demonstrate and in
stantly the fire went black out?''
Another wonder of Christian Science is
the unabashed way in which its Founder
and Discoyerer vaunts it as a means of
making comfortable fortunes by healing
morally, physically, and spirit
ually.' Mrs Eddy herself is reported to
be millionaire now. In 1867 she was ira
posing about. lecturing in town halls in
Maine on Christian Mind Healing as Ex-
emplified by the Late P. P. Quimby' Ev-
cry publication of Christian Science costs
from twice to three times as much as
better-made books sell for When she
was running that Metaphysical College
in Boston Providence impelled' her to
charge $500 for a course of twelve half
days instruction in 'Mind-healing' The
course lasted barely three weeks. at the
end of which time persons with no other
than reading the Bible and Sci
community with diplomas showing that
they were doctors Afterward when 300
pupils were 'clamoring for admission she
closed the college. Why did she refuse to
take in $4,000 every three weeks? Be
cause she had conscientious scruples con-
cerning diplomas 1t is probably a mere
that the Massachusetts au-
thorities began to have the same scruples
about the same time. The fact that for
years Mrs. Eddy has been careful not to
set foot in that State except on a Sunday
Is probably also mere coincidence.
Now, If materia medica doctor in
vents any useful appliance in surgery or
new method of treating dis
Ease, he may not patent it or reserve it to
his own use. He is bound to give 1t to his |
colleagues or be cast out of their fellow
ship. But Mrs. Eddy never ceases to as
sert her sole ownership of Christian |
Science lock, stock, and barrel She says.
If you should print or publish your copy
or my works you would be liable to ar I
rest for infringement of copyright which
the law defines and Furnishes as theft OF |
course, the law does nothing of the kind. |
She is, as She says, 'bopelessly original |
~ Is quite In line with the wonderful |
eadlng OF providence to charge $500 for /
-hree weeks instruction: that she should !
ay down this principle in practice: |
Christian Science demonstrates that the
patient who pays whatever he is able 20
pay for being healed is more apt to re- /
,over than he who withholds a slight /
equivalent for health That is to say. |
he cure depends upon the size of the fee |
what the traffic will bear.
1t was left, not to Tom Paine or Vol
.aire. certainly not to the late Colonel |
but to the representative of a |
science that calls itself Chris |
ian to give us this picture:
" From the fact that Judas carried the |
