We are taught that the mission of
Christ is in demonstration of an un-
mysterious salvation, and that we may
expect more and gain more through
/ Christ than IL we were to minimize the
scope and efficacy of his mission.
If TO be thus obedient, or to be too
explicit in obedience, be dangerous,
then we are indeed the most danger

Read all the books on philosophy
since time began and they will not
equip you to cure one case of fibroid
tumor- Read all the commentaries.
sermons and books on theology. and
they will not enable you to heal one
case of locomotor ataxia in its worst
form. Read all the medical books and
all other books. and you cannot as a
result thereof, cure one instance of
malignant cancer. This book. Science
and Health, has taught people how TO
cure hundreds of such cases, and they
have done it.
MRS. EDDY'S PLEA.
For a third of a century Mrs. Eddy
has been pleading with mankind for
the recognition of it's right to life.
health and holiness according to the
will of God. She has insisted that God
is the natural healer of the sick. and
that disease is contrary to God and
his Will. She has discovered and made
known the science of Christian healing
and has set forth the rule whereby hu-
manity is to obtain mastery over dis
ease.
'On every one who has ever healed
the sick through and by means of di-
vine power in attestation of the SUI
premacy of spiritual law. the world has
bestowed the antagonism and hatred
which materialism ever exhibits to-
ward the spiritually minded: indeed.
there has scarcely been a reforrner
since the day of Abel who has not been
hated, reviled. stoned or crucified: a
martyr to his own ministry and mis-
sion.
In view of this inveterate propen-
slty of the human mind to persecute
the prophets and to resist that which
makes for its own moral and spiritual
welfare, it is not strange that with
consistent industry 1t has given itself
up TO Misrepresentation and defama
tion of Christian Science and its works
and OF the leader of this cause.
1t seems futile to repine or demur
because OF this ruthless habit, and it
Is useless for us to protest or contend
against the baseless disposition to do
injury to us and to our leader. Mrs.
Eddy has specifically denied all the in
ventfons of evil and the perverted
statements of fact. and there Is but one
suff1cient, adequate course for her and
Tor us TO pursue. Her life, past and
present-the actual facts and activities
or her daily existence-constitute an
imperishably righteous answer and one
that will stand as answer forever.
Every relation OF truth. every sci
entffic discovery. has found its way to
humanity through some man. woman
or child. 1t so happened that Chris
tian Science was discovered. assimi-
lated and disclosed by a woman. and
forthwith, and since then there have
been many objections. all of which can
be congregated in one common belief
that woman Is not f1t to know the
truth. 1t is not strange that this bar
baric belief that mental inferfority in

penetrated so many centuries but II Ia

to learn the scientific fact that there is
no reason. mental, moral or material.

why woman may not know anything
that is true. and know it as soon as a
man and as well as man.
TRIBUTE TO WOMEN.
