declaring that the so.called Scrip.
lures found in the Bible from
which Mrs. Eddy's Christian Sci
ence aud Dowie's Dowieism spraue
were spurious aud not authorized
aud inspired, Jacob Ditzler, for
half a century a minister in the
NJ. 4. Church, South, disturbe d
the religious equilibrium of a large
audience here. DIR. Ditzler is we'll
known throughout Missouri and
Kentucky.
He said he knew whereof he
spoke. as he could read the origina
Greek and Hebrew and himself
owned at this time the oldest copy
ofthe Bible in existence. Il refer, !"
said the aged minister, especially
to the last chapter of Mark, which
reads; Go into all the world and
preach the Gospel to every creature
He that blieveth aud is baptized
shall be saved, but he that
believeth not shall be damned L.
And these signs shall follow
them that believe. In my name shall
they cast out devils, they shal
speak with new tongues, they shall
take up serpants, and il they drink k
any deadly thing it shall not hurt
them; they shall lay hands on
the sick aud they shall recover"
Some OF DR.. Ditzler's audience
went away, declaring the doctor
was not orthodox. and it was
dangerous 10 contend that any of
the King James edition of the
Bible was not authorized aud in
spired. While they admitted that
Ditzler was a learned scholar, they
said he was u bit egotisIical.
II was recalled by some that he
was charged with being egotistical
by a number of ministers in the
Missouri Conference years ago, and
and the late bishop Marvin of st,
Louis was delegated a committee
of one to wait upon the Kentucky
brother aud it possible have him
suppress the exaggerated ego. y
After the distinguished bishop had
very gently told the brother of lis
shortcoming, Rev. Diizler remind
ed the committee that all great
men. Washington, Napoleon. Johr
Wesley. knew they were great, and
so did Ditzler. aud he was not
ashamed to admit it.
DIR. Ditzler is nearly so years
old aud vigorous in mind anC
