One.sided Philosophy


Christian Science is nothing more
than a onc-sided philosophy carried
out TO false and absurd conclu5-
ions, and in the words of another,
every bit of matter in the universe
brands it as untrue. Every aching
tooth every case of disease carries
with it this utIr unlack of proof,
and every beTeaved neart and eyorJ
grave In the great world of sor-
rows. which s at the Same timo
little more than vast cemetery,
denounces H. as the most baseless
of all unsphstantial assertion So
much for faSse philosophy and sci
cnce falsely soScallcd.
Now. what shall we fHv of it az
religious sgEtem? From the
standpoint of theology Mrs. Eddy

true doctrine, Mrs. Eddy must br
false Theology gavs God Is my
Fathew and Hc loves me. = Mrs.
Eddy saws "God is not a person
bnt an influence; / cant love =
whirlwind nor thunder storm,
can love only when there is per
sonality." Mrs Eddy says no need
of sacrament. Those are mere de-
lusicns Of mortol mind BAPTISM
and the Lords SuNpcr she laughs
at, but listen to a higher authority.
The Great Teacher said, GO bau-
tize," hnt this sy"tem knows moth
ing of baptism He said This do
in remembrance nf Me" but this
! system knows nothing of q Lords
S1pper. IT is without q Heavenly
Father. without sense OF sin or
need OF any atonina Christ The
Nave taken awav NV Lord, and !
know not whore they have laid

Denies Christ's Suffering
Christian Science denies the fact
of pain and suffering hence it
strikes the fatal blow at the very
onement; Christ suffered tho .ingt
for the IN lust a suffering Savior
for q suffering sinner. Il Chris
tiau Science is true, no pain, no
SUFFERING, the AtonemeRt is Z far
ce. Not only docs this new old
sect deny the AtoEement. but It
denies the Diety of nv Lord II
loue Christ was not Cod. He iT
ntthipG. This docoitful play e1
words. Christ was divine but We
are all divine" Yes Mrs. Eddy has
| about as much | am oft9u led to
ery out "Oh. God, how long will
"ou permit such saelilese aad bias
phowy?
Occupies Il Low Place
II pain is only an Illusion of
raaal mind and Chrlst;on Science
tcnGs to dispel that illus.o-, i fol-
lows that the further one Is al

etustac0a, sutfgra more than the
scmi-brGte whose mind Is as slug
gish as 4 mud pond. Indeed. as
tnings 80 UP in the scale of being
they go toward the possibilities OF
pain 1t follows then that the
Christian Scientist Who is inscnsi-
bile to pain occupies . very ioW
place in the scale of being.
Pain Good ie.lcncr
We may well ask Would thia
world be as much or as good as it
is if there were no pain Or trouble?
| believe that pain is one of the
best teachers in Ito school or hte.
We may ct times vince under h,
iAstructiony, but her instructions
are valuable. The little child tot
terins over the floor 1t attracted
by the bright, glowing Goals in the
crate; it puts its fingers on one OF
the bars and the blisterine pain
that nature inflicts teaches the
child to dread the fire. The sharp
pains that follow cYer-induleenco in
eating teach The folly. OF g.uttony.
THESE thorns called pains and
troubles pierce our feet and drive
Us back into the smooth, safe path
wa oi Obedience t. natuc's law.
