CALLS EDDY FAITH A FRAUD.
DR.. JohnstOn Myers Fiercely As
sails Christian Science.

In an address which bristled with the
strongest denunciatory terms at his COM
mand, the Rev. Johnston Myers of I'm
manuel Baptist church, Chicago, arraign-
ed Christian Science as one of the great
est menaces of modern times. He de-
nounced the entire Christian Science
movement as a fabric of lies and fraud
built upon a foundation of error He
declared that the teachings of Mrs. Mary
Baker Eddy were those of physician
with whom she formerly was associated
and whose teachings were also "a pack of
lies" And, last but not least, he declar-
ed that to his own personal knowledge
this delusion'' was responsible for scores
of deaths. He himself had charge of at
least one funeral a month, said he, which
was directly chargeable to Christian Sci
ence. These accusations were laid at the
door of Mrs. Eddy's cult in the course of
an address on Christian psychology in
which DR.. Myers advocated the program
of mental treatment, which also includes
drugs and physicians, as outlined by
Bishop Fallows.

When Chairman Perkins of the spe-

port, he faced an almost full member
ship. while the galleries were packed
with interested spectators. Messrs.
Tawney, Smith of Iowa, Sherley and
Fitzgerald were on the floor, prepared
to resent what they deemed to be the
insinuations of the President on them
as members of the committee on apprs-
priatiOns. They were not alone in their
indignation. The feelings of other mem
bers had been growing more intense.
