holds the old Manichean doctrine. that
the material world is evil, and there
fore God is not it's creator. She ren-
ders religion impossible by denying Il
personal God, distinct from the uni
verse, the existence of soul in body,

Christ, the fact of original and actual

the senses, the reality of matter, the
facts gained by medical science and
surgery, the utter lack of coherency
and system in her many contradictory
statements, prove her system to be
as unscientitic as it is irreligious and
anti-Christi;ln. How account for the
growth of Christian Science? Its fol-
lowers are recruited for the most part
from the ranks of those unbelieving
Professionals who. ignorant of the first
principles of Christianity, are the
ready victims of any new teaching.
Again, this new phase of modern I'M
belief allows the unthinking mind to
call itself Christian, while ut the same
time it does not demand the accept
ance of the doctrines or moral princi-
pies the Saviour taught. Like errors
OF other times it appeals to the suffer
ing multitude who long for some
panacea of disease and care little for
the method of the cure. Witness in
our country the following gained by
such impostors as Dowie, Scllatter,
and the millions spent annually in the
fees of quncks. The financial side Of
tile movement is another factor in it's
growth, for it provides an easy way
for practicing medicine. How account
for it's so-called cures? l recall two
cures-one of pretended operation
in a hospital which cured Il woman of
an imaginary internal disease; another
of woman bed-ridden, who, during
the panic induced by fire recovered
the Use of her limbs by the mere eX-
ercise of will power. SO, frequently,
physicians have treated wealthy hy-
pochondriac patients on harmless
diet of bread pills and water, and daily
discussed without smile the marked
progress caused by their wonderful
prescription. The many cures wrought
abroad by hypnotic suggestion have
made us realize the influence of the
mind and the imagination over bodily
disease. Christian Science has adopt
