Row. George Gslinser D. D. Pastor Of
st. Mary's Leetured on Christ
ian Science Last
Evening:
DEFINITION SALVATION
Said That Christian Science Lecturer
Gave Wrong Definition At
tacks Other Of Herins's
Doctrines.
DEFINITION SALVATION

4 An unusually large audience heard
: Rev. DR.. Giglingers lecture on Chris
i tian Science last night at st. Mary's
!. church. He said he had read Mrs.
J Eddy's book: Science and Health
! with Key to the Sculptures, and was
j not in sympathy with her doctrines.
: He also criticized Prof. Herring's lee
, ture here as bad logic in good Eng
= fish. The Rev speaker said that
i Prof. Herring started out with a wrong
. definition Of salvation as "deliverance
s from temporal evils and earthly de-
9 struction,' from which he drew the
conclusion "deliverance from evil"
) wherein he showed poor logic.
According to Prof Herring's doc
trines no wrong exists in the world,
none are sick and nobody ever dies;
your salvation depends on rejecting
the idea Of sin, sickness and death.
The professor dished out these
things in dainty saucers having writ
ten upon them divine principle,
truth, love- and other big sounding
words
Christian Science, said Father
Giglinger, Is the strangest mixture of
religious conceptions and healing
methods the world has ever seen. 1t
grew so rapidly on account of it's
claims of healing all kinds of dis
eases, though Mr.. W. D. McCracken,
} the leading exponent of christian
science in New York City declares
that christian Scientists do not
! claim to have any special powers
, which are denied to others"
Mrs. Eddy claims that Christian
: Science was revealed to her by God.
t She made key to the scriptures"
b but Father Giglinger thinks she fitted
s the bible to her key, and not the key
k to the bible; he tried her key but ii
n would not unlock as the night latch
s night have been on. He explained al
l. some length why Christian Science
r could be called neither christian nor
Y. science but was. as someone had re
marked, like guinea pig, which is
neither guinea nor pig.

: spite of Mrs Eddy's denials of being
S Pantheist she is one when she
n says God is All; hence All is Mind
70 counfounding thereb.' God with His
e creatures.
a. She denies a personal God. God
according to her doctrine is the uni
verse She also denies the blessed
trinity.
ID She denies that God is Almighty
n. for she says He cannot produce mat
ID ter.
h. She looks upon Jesus as being MAJ
IS only.
IN According to her doctrines He neve
st suffered, and did not rise on thu
third day because He never died.
He'll, she says is mortal belief; !
is error, and no final judgment await
or mortals
IN She denies that God created TIL
id world, because the material world i
II. evil. hence God has not created it..
These were only some of her error
but enough to prove that Mrs. Edd
is not christian.
IL She also contradicts herself as TO
h. example when she says. mo breakag
nj or dislocation of bones can really oe
an cur, and in another place: cit j
k better to leave the adjustment Q
DIS broken bones and dislocations TO tn
es fingers of a surgeon"
st She has. however, not much love 10
or the medical profession, for she says
Originated in idolatry"
The Rev Dr. then explained tn
conditions on which a patient coul
be cured, one of them in Mrs. Eddy
20 own words is: "A Christian Sclentls
~ requires my work on Science an
- Health for his text book, and so q
all his students and patients
- He then showed how different di
eases. such as consumption. malarl
;. and fever, etc. were cured by
\ Christian Scientist and how broke
Il bones were knit together. 1t was a
, done by mental process.
Christian Science, says Mrs. Edd
explains all cause and effect as me
tai, not physical.
The Rev. speaker cited sever
bible texts in favor of tho physical
as for example in Eccl Honor I'll
physician for the need thou hast
him.
THE most high hath created me
icines out of the earth" He said SON
one remarked: IF the Christian 81
: entists had more science and IL
IL doctors more christianity, then IL
+ patient with a good nurse to wait
It him. need not be afraid of Them
y Father Giglinger gave several
3 teresting incidents of failure on Il
!. part of the Christian Scientist to GU
n the patient, and also remarked tn
r. patient may receive treatme
r though he be many miles away fro
