CHRISTIAN SCIENTIST REPLIES
TO ATTACK OF REV. SCHAUB.

the Christ. One of.the first commands
of Christ was to preach the gospel
AND HEAL THE SICK, and because
He healed the sick from scientific,
spiritual basis, He did not mean that
material means should be employed
for He was not an exponent of Aescu-
lapius methods, but he was the expo
anything from any other standpoint,
and stated plainly, that he. was acting
from spiritual not a material stand
point.
Is is possible that Rev. Schaub can
insist that the facts of such a doctrine
can be disastrous to the morals of
the people? He is poorly informed who
would make a statement that one of
the priestesses of Christian Science OBJ
tanned spiritually, divorce, etc. There
is no such things recognized by
Christian Science and no matter who
would make the statement, II could
not change the absolute teachings of
Christian Science. Such utterances
from the pulpit mislead the public
and IL in some instances, Christian
Scientists have been found to be i'm
moral, no matter what excuse they
should give, they could not hide be-
hind any of the teachings of Christian
Science and lead any one to believe
that they had not committed sin. The
teachings Of Christian. Science insist
that where sin is committed, it must
be acknowledged. If Christian Scien-
lists used material knowledge in order
to deceive the people and thus estab-
lish their new doctrine, as Rev. Schaub
AYERS, 1t is plain as matter of history
that this doctrine would not stand
very long and the people would not
be deceived to any great extent.
In reference to prayer, Christian
Scientists know that the will of God is
perfect good and therefore. "Thy will,
not mine be done" is constant with
them. Contrary to his expression of
thankfulness, in his concluding re-
marks, Christian Scientists are thank
full that they know that sin, sickness
and death, while they seem and appear
real to mortal sense, are in reality
unreal, because God, the Infinite Good
who knows no evil, cannot know sin
sickness or death, and Christian Sci
entists know that by knowing the
Christ, who heals all, and overcomes
sin, they are thus redeemed from the
| law of sin and death.
Rev. Scharb does not state that he
has ever healed sickness or sin through
the efficacy of prayer, as taught by
Jesus the Christ, although as a follow
er OF Christ, he is thus commanded
to do and until that injunction has
been fulfilled, would 1t not be just from
human standpoint, not to malign
those who are endeavoring to follow in
the footsteps of Christ. but rather that
he should give his attention to the de-
struction Of the wickedness, crime and
sin which prevails in mortal exis-
| tence.
Yours Respectfully.

had taken of her hat. and leaning back
against the moss grown rocks. held

Felix Durand, climbing the mountain
side, caught his breath with a pang of
keenest agony and delight, as he stopped,
abruptly. and gazed at vision he had
