part:
Eddylsn uses the Christian termInology. pro-
fesseS reverence for Christ and the Bible, pre-
tends 10 exalt God highly than other re-
ligions do and ingeniously mfngles much that IS
good and true and indisputable with its fan
tastic errors 1t is therefor we'll calculated 10 do
the work Satan designs 1t TO do, namely, to de-
stroy faith in the religion of tho Christian Church
and TO substitute anti-ChriStian Cartcatlre. II
is a gigantic bunco scheme wherein the victim
thinks he has the treasure. but instead holds only
the worthless imitation.
Rehearsing some OF the things that have been
said in praise of Mrs Eddy, the speaker added:
All this may be true, but. II her teachings con-
tradict the Christian faith. personal worth of
hers make amends. To fair-minded observer
such panegyricS seem prepoSterOuS. He sees an
uncutivated woman, married three times. passing
through various forms of religious belief and finally
settling down one Cf her invention; mani
ity. basphemously claiming divine honOrs for her
self and unable to write page Of clear. rational
English prose. over and over again she places her
writings equality with the Bible. The name
Of her religion is mSnOmer, for il is essentially
anti Christian. The creed calls God maker of all
things, while Eddysm denies that things do exist
at ALL denies that God made them and saws that
the Trinity God in three persons. Eddvism
denies that Jesus Christ the Son Of God and
says that He the offspring OF Mary's self
conscious communion with God"
