WlIn NlS peftecL mora lntulllpl GpVlu he see any lack Of charity in wrench ing charity from the clutches of It's assassIns, Christ had too much charity for the poor deluded, exploit od victims of priestcraft and states craft to lay hand of benedctop upon the head of priest or statesman pope or king who would dare to lay a hand of injustice upan any man.
 Christianity is not made of the rot~ ten stuff that humanity is made of and when this superstition called Ed dyism forges the name of Christian Science and under the cogjs of 2 crucihx would drag Christianity down tO the sordid level of priestcraft and superstition and sacrifice thousands of innocent lives that grain of common sense could save my final word for such n crusade against humanity Is not charity ybut-Anastheme,
 If you dvest this sheep of its wool behold a wolf! If you dVest it of the manta of Christ-behold a simon Magus, and if you divest it of cap and gown, instead of finding an Ineligible science you find a haseless Ideal fabric that contradiCts itself and every science psychical. physical or meta physical known to the human mind but one, and that one, for obvious reasonS, is the very science that Mrs, Eddy most emphatically denies. But, like Lady Macbeth, she protests too much and her anxiety to conceal the plot, betrays 1t. What Is that plot? IIypnotism? No it Is deeper than hSpnotism, 1t Is a science, not an art, What Is 1t? l will keep that in re- serve too; I'll want all my reserves soon and l intend to keep them we'll drilled, ready for the, fire line; and If Mrs, Mms thinks I am going to scatter my forces chasing her all over the vast regions she covers In her lecture she Is a little off in her cal culation.
 Mrs. Mims says This God of Chris tianity, of the orthodox church, of evangelical relision--ls also the God of Christian Science"
 It may be the God of Christian Science but 1t is not the God of Eddy- ism and EddyIsm Is not Christian Scl- cnce. There is not a particle of Christianity or science in Eddyism beyond what I have stated and chal- leEe Mms, Harlow or their prophecies on that Issue.
 The God of Christianity is a per sonal God with personal attributes who spoke and acted in personal manner with personal creatures and gave to man a personal Christ-not a metaphysical fctich, The God of Eddysm like the Christ of Eddylsm Is the verltahc Mrs. Eddy herself and what she defines as God Is noth ing more than an infinite abstraction from an infinite ahsurdity- man ism Though she has rotractcd some personal negations of Gods personal fly in the early editions of her book those retractlons have no value with ont q denial of her mctaphics, for, there can be no such thing as a per sonal God or a personal being of any kind on the basis of that metaphysics
 Eddy's fundamental principles as stated by herself on page In her book arc these:
 'l, God Is all in all
 God is good God Is mud
 '3. God Spirit, being all nothing ie matter
 A Life God omninotent, good, dcny death, sin evil. disease.
 Lei us notice each of these propos- itions briefly;
 God Is all in all"
 There Is always intellectual craft In verbal nonsense, and mental mud Is | never convertible into clear. intclli- gible terms of expression. These four cornerstones of tho Eddy stable. sol- i emnly consecrated by lts high priest css as being more divine than the tah- | lets of Moses from the burning bush i of Mount Sinai arc simply four ! colossal jokes that would knock spots ! ou' of Mark Twain and seal he death warrant of Punch and Judy. Have l a little patience, please. I am not 1 fnoing for nobody with grain nf 1 sense would attempt to compete with l tho immortal Eddy along that line. 1 ! say immortal Eddy, because she | claims Co be both immortal and di- vine and inspired, Don't you know that that Is mighty stroke of Mrs. 1 EddNs genius? Why? Well, that he- longs to my reserves.
 God is all in all
 Now we can understand unless we ar" Eddy maniacs that God may he 1ll, we can understand that God may he in all and We can understand that all may be in God. but we cannot m. derstand how horse can be another horse If that horse Is an infinite horse How can horse be in stable or any. thing elsc if there is nothing elsc? w. can understand one all, but w sinai have a hard job tu understand -twt alls, ar two infinite horses, They would met nave room to kick each other!
 Jokes aside, Mrs Eddy knew that in consistency In violating what logician call the law of excluded middle. but sht had to do that ar sacrifice thc whol, fabric Of Christian Science Precisely to cover lp that ahsurdity she Invent. another What was that TO destroy and cover all the endless absurdtie of two infinite horses or mules forge which-she invents an infinite snake Well, no; she didn't invent lt, it wa the same notorious old snake that play cd tho apple trick with Adam ant Eve during their honeymoon in iht garden bowers of Eden Sad That wa the beginning of Sh9kespeare's trage dies, The bitter apple juice took ef. feet in the brain of their first baby SO when tho second baby came the first baby got mad with jealousy. the green. eyed monster, SO he borrowed Roose. belts Rig stick and knocked his broth CTS brains clean out of his head IT spite of that he got g free passport tC
