question in these words:
with patience, let it be explained
that Mrs. Eddy absolutely does moi
state that the second chapter of Gen
esis or any other portion Of the Bible
is lie. She does show that the &C
| count given in the first chapter de-
clares man was formed in the image
of God. God is a spirit. If man is
| in the image of spirit he cannot be
material, then he is not made OF
dust"
But the Bible says man was form
ed Of the dust of the earth. Gen
81. And that God formeth the
spirit within man (Zachariah 12:D
Now here is our case: We said that
Mrs. Eddy said in so many words
that 1T must be a lie." Here is
cited the exact words from her own
writings, 1T must be a lie" 1.-THE
lie represents God as repeating the
creation; and these positive declar-
atiOns are corrobOrated with general
statements such as THE Legendary
Scriptural text in the second chap
Ter of Genesis and This second
Biblical account is a picture of error
throughout
In the light of these facts how
does this paragraph from "A. c. H.
article sound?
Here is an excellent illustration
of a gentleman getting excited re-
garding something of which he knows
nothing. If he had given Mrs. Ed
dy's discussion a fair and honest
reading. he could not conscientiously
hurl such calumny at the most dis
tingnished and respected woman of
this age
In regard to their criminal neg
lect of helping babies, we have laws
and the insinuation concerning our
mention of their disregard of the
law is no jocular matter We are
credibly informed that just such a
performance as we described has
been practiced in this city. Ne child
died Does "A. G.. H. - deny it? He
says physicians should not be allow
to save all their patients. But do
the physicians come claiming to have
exact" and demonstrate" knoWl-
edge cf all disease and death? No
But they are endorsed by both civil
and divine law, while Christian Sci
ence has neither. There is not a
case of Christian Science theory nor
Christian Science practice in the BIZ
BILE. But there are many cases where
physicians and medicines are men
toned with approval. Reputable
physicians do not claim to do more
than they can do. But Christian
Science practitioners claim so much
and do so little.
The attempt to compare our
preaching with the Christian Science
fake healing is failure, like all the
attempts to defend their practice
We claim to be following the exam
pie of Christ in preaching the Cos
pei. Some believed and some turned
away. So it was both then and now.
But when it comes to healing, Christ
never failed Christian Science fails
many times. Recovery is the excep-
ton, not the rule, in Christian Sci
ence practice.
"A. c. H attempts to argue their
case, but his argument condemns his
own practitioners Allopaths, hon.
eopaths and osteopaths, he says, are
allowed to practice because a rea-
sonable number CT cures are accom-
plished through their efforts AS
the facts are, Christian Science prac-
titioners are not allowed to prac-
tice only under the cloak of religion,
and from the facts of the case the
admission is made by this adherent
OF Christian Science that there are
not reasonable number Of cures
accomplished through their efforts.
to allow them to practice.
The pure food and drug law con-
demned some patent medicines and
prepared foodstuffs which claimed
that thousands of people from all
over the country had been benefited
by using them. The claims of Chris
tan Science practitioners belong in
the same class.
