with the tongues of men and of angels and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkiing cympal'
 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all myster- ies, and all knowledge, and though have all faith. so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity l am nothing. ."--I. Cor, xiii, l, 2.
 In regard to the statement that Mrs, Eddy's teaching stultifies reason there can be no greater proof of the absurdity of this claim than the fact which has been proved by the students of Christian Science, that the denial of human reason and the SUD jugation of the human will and intel- ligence to the divine, enthrones spir- itual understanding uplifts the morals and motives of mankind, eplarges their mental outlook, and rai1es them into their native atmosphere of wis dom, sagacity and perspicacity.
 This equips man for every exper- fence of human existenee and enables him to overcome all adverse condi- tions with the realization of the om- impotence and omnipresence of God the eternal good.
 At this point in his sermon our critiC loses sight of a consideration of an i'm personal subject to make an undignf fled criticism of the committee on pub. lication. To this hoYever, we hav' nothing to say except that a resort tc personalities always indicates th' weakness of an argument, and such recourse can but reflect upon the pro. fessed Christian spirit of the man wht claims to represent the gentle Nag arene. who said, (John 13:3D, "A nev commandment I give unto you, That y, love one another; as have loved you that we also love one another.
 Any of MT. Browns hearers who de sire to be more than merely enter tained. and who are seeking trutl righteously, can by an honest, unpre judIced study of Science and Healtl with Key to the Scriptures, by Mar, Baker G. Eddy, prove that Mrs. Eddy statements are based upon a alvin Principle and are possible of demon stration, the fruits whereor are healti holiness, and harmony.
 This would, in the mind of the earn est seeker. relieve the teachings C I Mrs. Eddy of the stigma of "absurdity which our critic has attempted to plac upon Christian Science,
 Rev. MT. Brown takes exception inc teachings of Mrs. Eddy that tn physical universe is unreal, because him the physical universe is "a might picture language" "a wondrous sym holisn," Christian Science does nc teach that the beautiful things of na ture are but myths. On the contrar! lChrIstian Science says In the languag of Paul. For if that which is don I away was glorious, much more tha which remaineth is glorious" II Col l911. If that which constitutes the un verse could be seen as it really is, fror a spiritual instead of from a materif standpoint, 1t would appear as muc more slorious to this exalted view, a the infinite is to our finite view. Chri: 1 ton Science does not change the tru flaw and order of the universe, but res torres the spiritual sense of 1t by th annihilation of false and materif view of creation.
 Christian Science teaches thG nothing exists as a spiritual realit which is @ product of mortal mint hDt that the universe is the manifeS tation of the one mind, God.
