To Put a Preacher RiEht.

OMAHA. May 13-To the Editor of The
Zee: sermon recently preached in
Omaha in opposition 10 Christian Sci
ence assumed such bias as to call for a
few words of comment.
II would seem that we might all agree
upon certain automatic propositions-as,
that one should not make solemn and re-
tterated statements that the textbook Of
Christian Science is such a mass of jum-
bled confusion hat no one can under
stand II, and then proceed for over two
hours TO expound It's fundamental teach
ings and denounce them.
Further. the dispassionate listener Is
apt to be put on inquiry when II is ad-
mitted that the church has failed in its
duty to obey the command to heal the
sick" admits that Christian Science is
endeavoring to meet that duty and then
denounces II as unscriptural and. con-
trary TO the teachings of Jesus. 1t brings
one near enough 10 the shores OF Galilee
TO hear the Pharisees say. This fellow
doth not cast out devils, but by Belize
bub. the prince OF the devils" and thus
history repeats itself. Whereas was
blind. now l see" has been accepted for
centuries as the final word OF argument
and so long as Christian Science submits
TO this test. II Ill becomes any other
church to denounce as blssphemous the
works which they admit Jesus COM
manded and which they have failed to do.
II needs no proliXity OF discourse TO
prove the fundamental teachings OF Chris
tian Science. nor should It be the occa-
sion OF any surprise. or as II a mystery
had been uncovered.
That Christian Science teaches that
God IL Love. that God is Spirit. life
Truth IL indeed true The mystery lies
In the fact that a minister OF the Gospel
OF an orthodox church in an unusually
intelligent community should find fault
with the proposition. II 10 safe 10 say
that not a member OF the infant class in
his Sunday school but what knows that
God IL Love" and probably not one OF
them ever heard Of Science and Health"
There Is nothing I'm Christian Science
that Is not in the Bible. and the text
book occupies the same subordinate posi-
ton to the Bible that the preacher does
when he delivers a sermon from Bible
text. The text book being impersonal
never loses its temper. which. on the
whole. IL a good thing.
Mrs. Eddy does indeed define God as ALI
in-Ali. omnipresent. omniseient. omnipo-
tent. ALLOWING eternal. Principle. the
great Am. DO the schools Of theology
place Limit on God in any OF the above
particulars?
Moreover, II is quite true that Chris
tian Science draws a very sharp line OF
demarcation between the real man. made
in the image and likeness Of God. and
the earnal or mortal man. In common
however. with the other teachings OF
Christian Science there IL no originality
In this.
The oarnal mind Il enmity against
God; for IL IL not subject 20 the law Of
God. neither, indeed. can be. So. then,
