lBr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE


Montclair. y. J.. Nov. 2S.-Oue of the largest
audiences that have gathered at the Montclair
Outlook Club meetings in many months as
sembled there last night, when two views OF
Christian Science were discussed by the Rev.
Arthur r. voshurgh. of Rochester. y. Y. a
memte err OF the Christian Science Board of Lect-
uresh!p. and Or. James NJ. Buckley, OF The
Christian Advocate" Of New-York City. In the
audience were many Christian Scientists from
all parts of the State and New-York. Mr.
Vosburgh was the first speaker. He said in
part:
Christian Science is based entirely on the
proposition that God is all in ALL that God il
all power. an wisdom, all life. Every
Ceives of God the great original creating cause
of things. our problem is TO find how He is
likewise the very present, immediate. valid
cause of things and find in Him refuge
and strength. To the solution of this problem
Christian Science addresses itself II infinite
universe then mind accounts for all and mind
controls all.
Scripture made over and over again that all
these things already ours. As for instance
Peter says. According as His divine power hath
given unto us all things that pertain unto life
and godliness.' Paul says All things are yours. "
and, this being true, our mental attitude should
| he that of claiming these spiritual resources
and affirming that we have them. True prayer
will in its tial scope be not only such a com
munion brings a spiritual perception. but
also affirmative. realization and a demon
stration Of the vital realities of divine life nd
love.
pr Buckley was greeted with applause as he
arose to speak. and began al once 10 attack
Mrs Eddys teachings He told of his investi-
cations in the Christian Science work which he
said We're ridiculous in the extreme, and that
Mrs. Eddy's readings were changed considerably
| more now than in her earlier readings. He re-
ferred to Mrs. Eddy going to dentist TO have
tooth pulled. and when asked why she found
it necessary to do this said: "All diseases in
the world are due to accidents. overexertion
| over or under feeding improper food. internal
poison and poison germs"
You see. medicine has large field To work
In said the speaker "bLt Mrs. Eddy says no
medicine shall be used. and that disease Is a.
condition and not thing There could not be
worse iunatic writing anything more insane
than Mrs. Eddy claims
DIR. Buckley. in closing, declared that many
Christian Scientists were brought to the Seney
Hospital In Brooklyn for treatment, rather
than die by the hand of one of their heal
erS.
This can prove. If any one doubts it, he
said Mother Eddy claims they any
thing but they cannot do what DR.. Lorenz Is
doing by the touch Of his hands. Mrs, Eddy
claims that Christ was killed by animal mag
natism and not by crucitixiou. Are there any
others who have such ideas?
During DR. Buckley's arratgnment the speaker
who preceded him moved about in his seat and
seemed uneasy over the predcament he had
been placed in with all eyes of tine audience
upon him whenever any Of Mrs. Eddy's ideas
were attacked
