CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
TO Be D|SSECTED
REV. MASTERS OF BROADWAY
BAPTIST CHURCH BEGAN Sc.
RIES OF SERMONS.


church Rev. f. NJ. Masters began a
series of sermons on false teachings
and false doctrines, and as announced
would first take up the doctrine II
Christian Science.
He took for his text, Gal. 19. "As
We said before, SO say now again, il
any man preach any other gospel un
: to you than that ye have received
let him be accursed" His remarks
: last night were merely Introductory
, and he devoted his time in quoting
authorities from the scripture to sub
stantiate his position and justify his
actions in endeavoring to stamp out
what he terms false doctrines and
false teachings.
lie stated among other things that
the teachings Cf Christian science
was out of harmony with the teach
ngs of Paul, that they were lacking
in the fundamental principles of re-
lgion and quoted from the Bible
frequently to prove his assertions. He
also stated that the doctrine of
Christian science believed in a right
eousness, but not in the atonemeDt,
the righteousness without the blood,
and he asserted that if he did not
prove his assertions before the series
Of meetings had ended that he would
walk out of the pulpit. He took the
scriptures to define what our atti-
tude should be toward these false
teachers, and said as far as he was
concerned no one could deny the Lord
without hearing a protest from him.
He stated that in order to treat
believers in Christian Science fairly
ne had prepared a list of questions
for them to answer, that if theirs was
the right way the world should know
of it. the first real sermon will be
delivered next Sunday night, when, it
was announced, that the subject would
be The Founder of Christian Science
an Her Teachings"
Rev. Masters stated last night that
it was not his purpose to offend any
Ole that he was not there to lam
bGst" the Christian Scientists or any
one else, but to try to arrive at the
facts, to put the straight edge Of
ruth on these doctrines and see If
hey measured up to standard.
