REPLY MADE
TO CRITIC Of
MRS. EDDY

New York. Nov 2l.-The Christian
Science publication committee has issued
a reply 10 the address OF the Rev. DR.
William Harman Van Allen of Boston on
Thursday last at Baltimore. Or. Van
Allen attacked Christian Science as a
Gigantic Bunco Scheme" The reply OF
the Christian Science publication commit
tee follows:
1.-THE Rev. William H. Van Allen of
Boston has reiterated his assertion that
Christian Science Is anti-Christian. When
he utters himself again on this subject |
trust he will mention the fact that Chris
definition of God as spirit. and that he
VIII show wherein any portion of the
Christian Science textbook is out OF har-
mony with this definition.
"The gentleman asserts: over and
over again she (Mrs. Eddy places her
writings on an equality with the Bible.
To be accurate, he should have stated.
that the Christian Science textbook,
Science and Health, with key TO the
Scriptures by the Rev. Mary Baker c..
Eddy. consists entirely of Scriptural quo
tations and consistent deductions there
from. II is not supplement 10 the Bible.
In other words IL is a Bible commentary.
"Our critic declares that Christian
Science Is a bunco scheme wherein the
victim thinks he has the treasure, but
instead holds the worthless imitation.
This leads Ills 10 inquire what he believes
TO be the treasure OF Christianity. Our
Master said: A tree Is known by its
fruits Certainly Christian Science brings
forth good fruits.
which is OF greater mportance-one's
conduct or ones creed? IL ones deport-
ment is right he has superseded the
necessity of a creed.
"Our critic declares: Christian Science
denies that things do exist at all-denies
that God made them-and says that they
are figments Of mortal mind This critic
has been repeatedly corrected in this
and we are exceedingly
sorry that he has not learned his lesson.
Christian Science does not declare that
anything is a figment Of mortal mind ex-
cept that which is In reality a igment
OF mortal mind.
Christian Science recognizes that all
creation is the manifestation Of God and
that everything I'm creation from the
least to the greatest. Is real II denies
real existence only TO the darkness which
hides creation from view and which offers
itself a. the creation. 1t Is the distorted
false view of God and creation which is
denied in Christian Science-not the cre-
alton itself"

TAfT's interference
NAY Gust HIS JOB

Washington, Nov 21-Secretary Taft
acted off his own bat when he suspended
the order OF the president directing the
discharge. without honor. of three COM
panies of the Twenty-fifth infantry for de-
clinng to divulge the names Of the sol
diers who shot up the town of Browns
Vile, Tex. and killed a white man. There
is likely TO be friction between the presi-
dent and the secretary over this action.
The outcome OF the difference between
the president and the secretary OF war is
awaited with much interest and anxiety.
1t Is conceded that serious results may
follow. as serious as the retirement Of Taft
from the cabinet. Taft's action is not un-
precedented, but 1t is unusual, and espec-
tally unusual with so positive a man as
the president.
