Go to it, Mary,
Mrs. Eddy repeatedly disayows
Pantheism, but if Pantheism isl
what all philosophical thought has
always reputed it to be. then the
statement that call is Cod is Pan
theism of the boldest typo. Ger
tainly il Mrs. Eddy be permitted
to formulate her oven definition,
chsnging time honored and world
wide accepted concepts, she may be
exoncrated from the cASrge of
Pantheism and all other religious
untruth, as there remains then no
room for even the frankcst dis
oussion. Consequently. with Pm
thoism she denies the personality of
