NEW YORK. Sept. 25-Dr. Freder-

pole. is preparing to bring suit against
Peary for slander and misappropria-

This action Is being arranged In

appears to many of their friends that

A REPLY TO
EVANGELIST LOWRY

To the Durango Herald:
In your issue of Sept 18th you re-
port the abuse by Mr.. Lowry Of Chris
iiau Science. His assertion that the
reason for It's large following ia due
to their looking for some other way
for being saved aside from giving up
their lusta and sins" Is but an ad-
verse criticism. The result OF Chris.
tian Science put into practice Is the
destruction Of lust and sin. No one
can be true Christian Scientist and
indulge In sin. for the teachings OF
Christian Science demand absolute
purity OF life and holiness of thought.
Rev Mary Baker Eddy says, Chris
tian Science commands man to master
The propensities-to hold hatred In
abeyance with kindness, to conquer
lust with chastity. revenge with char.
ity, and to overcome deceit with hon.
esty." (Science and Health. page 405)
Christian Science teaches that saliva
tion Is reached only by forsaking sin
OF every sort and claim. 1t has come
as did the Saviour OF old to save
sinners from ain by bringing to their
consciousness higher and purer un-
derstanding of God and His infinite
presence and love.
Christian Science heals the sick by
destroying sin. II IL eifcacious where
all other healing systems fail because
It eradicaies lusts and malicious
thoughts and fear.
Mrs. Eddy says. ITO cure a bodily
aIlment, every broken moral law
should be taken into account and the
error be rebuked." (Science and
Health. page 1922
The mission of Christian Science Ii
to do only good, TO teach mankind
how to be pure and righteous. It's de-
| mands are exactly those OF the Mas
ter. BY reason OF its works--healing
the sick and destroying sln--It Ia gain
ing It's large following and bringing
salvation TO mankind.
