Christian Science and Eddyism
In considering this new sect.
should be fair enough to speak OF the
good in Christian Science as well as
point out its errors It would be very
unfair to say that it has done no
good at ALL or to say that with its
errors has no truth to teach, for
suc6 would be untrue.
1t would not be possible for Christ
ian Science to have lived had it not
grated some good on its stalk. Let
us look at some of the good which
Christian Science has done and some
of the truths it has emphasized.
The Doctrine and the Founder
| shall attack first the doctrine and
then it's founder This is but the fair
way of procedure. If the doctrine be
false, what OF the woman who claims
that she received the doctrine as ii
direct revelation from Cod? If I were
a child of God living in the faith Of
my fathers and the church, before
allowing myself to be carried away
by any new wind of doctrine | would
at least want to- know something Of
the contents of the book containing
its supposed revelation. This being
the speakers sole purpose to make
known the doctrine as stated in its
own revelation, it is to be hoped that
fair and dispassionate treatment
will deserve the respectful and unbi-
ased attention of all who are here to
listen.
Let the church rise to higher
&ound and do her duty and give the
world the real Christ and Christian
Science can not live. Neither can
men and women get a few heather
theories together and put little of
the teachings of the blessed Christ
within it and call it new religion.
1t will not be possible for such things
to exist; and with good they will get
no error. Let us earnestly contend
for the faith once delivered to the
saints.

but it is not my purpose this evening
to enter upon a consideration of
Christian Science as a philosopy of
life. 1t is a sham and a fraud and
an imposition from beginning to end
in that it falsely pretends to be re-
velation from God This I must deny,
and if fbelieve that God had any
thing to do with it. | most certainly
would not open my mouth to con.
denim it, But believing as l do that
Christian Science is first, unscien-
tific; second, that it is not Biblical
third that it is not Christian, but
Christian; fourth, ii denies the
atonement through blood and fifth,
and worst, it denies the diety of Je-
sus of Nazareth, and therefore has no
right to live in the name of Christian
Having declared it to he my con.
viction that Christian Science is
humbug, fraud and an imposi-

imposition of all ages. it necessarily
follows that it is my further convic.

extent that one is almost. tempted to
