A False Philosophy
AS philosopher She is false.
"The old statemtnt that the PEN
dulum swings from one extreme TO
the other" This is being proved
TODAY. A few years ago tho enemies
of our religion said, material ma
terlal! material: It Ia eN erything
and II always existed and so the
materialst had his day. But Eo-
dyism swings 10 the other extreme
and false position, Spirit mind IS
everything and there is no mater
ial, no pain no sin. all are dclu-
sions OF the mortal mind.
The influence of mind over mat-
ter was recognized principle long
before cippacrates introduced medl-
cine into the healing OF disease
but it remained for Bishop BerR-
lev to construct manifestly 10 on
nose the gross materialism Of his
day. the philosophical concept OF
tho nureality of matter, although
he never pushed his aosurdltv to
which it loads without a subtle
distinction which Mrs. Eddy has
failed to make. Mrs. Eddy saws.
"Spiriit is real, matter is unreal.
Thus we believe. if permitted to de-
fine: Spirit is the real reality, and
matter is unreal if by that you
mean it has no permanent oxls~
tcnce. Huber Newton distinguishes
wisely between real and actual. MY
hand is not. real in thit 1t is non
eternal and subject to decay but it
is actual. I. G.. it is actually here

False Doctrine
Her doctrine is false. She
teaches that Jesus did not sufrcr on
the cross, that hc did not die for
sin-and by her tcachInga we arG
without a Savior.

They need no regeneration, no

and their knell is sounded as soon
as the world knows that they 1se
