The Teachings Of Christian Science.
tRev Ernest G. Richardson.J
Not all of the teachings OF Chris
ian Science are false. Like every other
set of doctrines that has attracted men
Is teachings are founded upon truth
But whatever of truth and wisdom
here may be in Christian Science Is
not peculiar to it. The cheerfulness.
the peace, the freedom from worry,
hat i, teaches, all were proclaimed by
me prophets. the apostles, or the Christ
ages ago. And where Christian Science
mas taken truth 1t has forced 1t to alb
surd and illogical conclusions.
Some Of the dangers and heresies
that inspire in Christian Science are:
Seifishness. Be good and you Will nee
essarily be well. strong. happy and con-
tended. The same teaching aS Jobs
conforters adduced. They. it will be re-
membered, made such mess Of 1t that
the Almighty had to interfere and shut
them up. Ill health and trouble are
not always the result Of sin. Many Of
Gods saints. including Paul and the
Christ himself. have suffered greatly.
There II no place for seh-denial in
Christian Science.
"Falsehood. This is continually taught
by Christian Science. When in pain
say there Is no pain when Ill say
there Is no sickness Our Lord adj
initted realities. To say they are not
is the ostrich habit.
"If this eo-called science is true all
other sciences are false. For instance,
physiology. If digestion is merely q
mental act. roast veal or soft boiled
eggs are equally digestible. All medi-
cal discoveries are false. The yellow
fever germ can not be transmitted by
tho mosquito If there are no germs,
no mosquitoes, and no yellow fever AS

existent things men call stars. planets.
etc. The only education Christion
Scientist really needs Is enough knowl-

to ignorance.
Science may readily be proved by any
one for himself. Mrs. Eddy said she
