No Element of Pure Science.
In behalf of the drugging theory man
Kind has literally swallowed everything
on earth, hoping to palate or obstruct
disease, and is still sicker and has more
diseases than ever before. Concerning the
theory and practice of 1000 years. il is to
be said that nearly all of il is condemned
by the practice and theory of today and
IL IS prophetically expected by the ply
stefan of this generation that his practice
and methods will be repudiated by the
next generation. The 'History of Four
Thousand Years of Medicine does not
disclose one single element of pure sci
enee. Moreover, there is scarcely a pos
tulate that has been allowed to remain
unimpeached or undisturbed.
Now comes the utteranCe of Christian
Science. which is the science of Mind.
1t declares that everything YOU have or
know; all that means religion, politics,
art, music, sociology, education, finance.

minutiae of your existence; all is in con-
sequence of thought. Thought ruptures
empires, wages war. obliterates nations.
Thought Is the greatest potentialitY that

needs or to which he is entitled.

1t is declared that Christian Science
practice is intangible and is Objectionable
because there is no visible or palpable
animus or modus operandi. Do you know

Mrs. Eddy's Plea for God.
Per a third of a century Mrs. Eddy has
been pleading with mankind for the rec
ognition of its right of life health and
holiness according 10 the will Of God
She has insisted that God is the natural
healer of the sick and that disease is con-
trary to God and his will. She has dis
covered and made known the science of
rule whereby humanity is TO obtain mas
terry over disease.
on every one who has ever healed the
sick through and by means of divine pow
er IN atteStatlon of the supremacy of
spiritual law, the world has bestowed the
antagonism and hatred which materialism
ever exhibits toward the spiritually mind
ed. indeed there has scarcely been a re
former since the day of Abel who has
not been hated, reviled, stoned or cruel
RED; a martyr TO his own ministry and
mission.
In view of this inveterate propensity of
the human mind TO prosecute the praph-
cts and to resist that which makes for
its own moral and spiritual welfare. it
is not strange that with consistent indus
try 1t has given itself up to misrepFesen-
tation and defamation of Christian Sci
ence and its work and of the leader OF
this cause.
Charges Refuted by Her Life
It seems futile to reDine or dernur he
cause of this ruthless habit, and it is
useless for us to protest or contend
against the baseless disposition TO do in
jury TO us and to our leader Mrs Eddy
has specifically denied all the perverted
statements of fact, and there is but one
sufficient adequate course for her and for
us to pursue. Her life. past and present
the actual facts and activities of her
daily existence-constitute an imperish
ably righteous answer and one that will /
stand as answer forever.
There is no other way and there need
be no other way, for this dignified woman
to do, for one who is intrenched in the
rectitude Of her own pure living but |
to depend on the present and ultimate
reeoanition by the world of the great val !
ne of her work for her justification The /
lofty character of her deeds and impulses |
and the long continued sacrifices which 4
she has endured in order that her mis- /
sion might live, these speak for her.

tific discovery, has found it's way 10 hu- !

ence was discovered, assiTililated and dis /

have been many objections, all of which |

that woman is not fit to know the truth. /
