 from Mrs. Eddy's own words 1t was fairly and clearly shown that her teaching Is absolutely subversive of all human science-is radically and hope lessly unscientific. There is one crown ing unscientife absurdity which l had not time to include last Sunday even alhpg and may be allowed to refer to now in passing. Mrs. Eddy not only deni1 V the reality of the facts and laws of physical science, but she does this through denying utterly the trustworthiness of the physical senses by which science g9ins it's evidence, She tells us that we must realize that the evidence of the senses is not to be accepted" that Science (Mrs. Eddy's science) reverses the testimony of the physical senses" Very well, then 1t is impossible for Mrs. Eddy ever to furnish proof that she or any of her followers have been enabled to heal a single disease. What can be the worth of the diagnosis of a practitioner" who cannot trust the evidence of her senses? Mrs. Eddy indeed deprecates diagnosis; she says: "A physical diag- nosis of disease, generally has a ten dency to induce disease" And still she relates, "A case of dropsy, given up by the faculty, fell into my hands. It was terrible case. Tapping had been employed, and yet the patient looked like barrel, as she lay in her bed" Mrs. Eddy says that under her exclusive care this woman was cur ed." How did Mrs. Eddy know that that poor woman Hooked like a bar rel?" The Divine Mind did not tell her so, for disease according to Mrs. Eddy does not exist for the Divine Mind; it must have been Mrs. Eddy's false material sense" and her de- luded mortal mind that conceived that ''barrel" illusion. Science revers- es the testimony of the physical sens es." Therefore Mrs Eddy should have known that the case was not terrible" and the woman did not Took like a barrel" There was really no case at all, and to speak of a "cure" where there was nothing to be cured is a misnomer. Or finally supposing a cure to have been wrought how could Mrs. Eddy know anything about it? The Divine Mind was conscious of no change; to Christian Science Princi- pie" the woman was all right all the time and never Hooked like a barrel;" how did Mrs. Eddy become conscious of change?
 It must have been through the tes- timony of her false material sense'' again; the supposed change in the womans physical appearance was only an illusion of mortal mind" and &C., cording to Mrs. Eddy such evidence must be reversed" If then the patti ent ever was really the size of a bar rel we could none of us, not even Mrs Eddy, be sure that she had shrunk except by using the same sense which Mrs. Eddy disallows. Here then is system which denies all levi dence of the senses" and then claims to demonstrate" the truth of such denial by "cures" which can be known only by this same discredited evidence. It is accepting as true the testimony of witness in order tc prove that said witness is constant and incurahle liar. If anything could be more irrational 1t would have to be sought before the dawn or beyond the pale of modern scientific thought.
 But Mrs. Eddy claims that while hel "Science" wars with physical science as truth with error-she has "meta physical'' truth upon her side. "Tht systems of physics" she asserts, "ae against metaphyics and vice vera
