COmpl1Sh cures by absent treatment!
How would a Christian Scientist,
when hungry, like to be fed by abb
sent treatment? Think of that other
claim that the Christian Science
method is just as effective when
practiced on horses and other ami
mails, as on human beings!
But all such claims are, after all,
among the least of it's pretensions.
Christian Science is more than a
method Of healing. It is at the
same time religion, philosophy,
and science, all in one, but espe-
cially religion. It's name indicates
that. It's numerous shrines and
temples rear their proud towers
alongside of other churches every
where in the land
Let us, then, examine it's peculiar
religious ideas and doctrines. Let
us see how much logic there is in
Christian Science religious or meta
physical reasoning. We can here
only summarize it's doctrines.
We are told that Christian Sci
ence is based on certain fundamental
propositions defining the nature of
God. It's textbook contains this
definition of God: God is incor-
poreal, divine, supreme, infinite
Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life,
Truth, Love" (Science and Health,
p. 1867.
To the unschoo1ed person this
string Of words must appear beauti-
full, grand, sublime, the essence Of
divine wisdom. Yet it is nothing
but a string of words, each one
beautiful and impressive, but to-
gether giving little sense For what
sense is there in saying that "God"
is "Divine"; or that He is "mind,
spirit, SOUL" three words that gen
orally convey the same idea; or that
He is Principle, Life, Truth, Love?
We could add a few more words to
it without making much difference
in the sense, one way or another.
We could say, God is Law, Light,
Justice, Pity, Mercy, Beauty, Es-
sence, Source, Goal, Foundation,
Father, Mother, Eternity, Infnity,
etc, etc. There is no dearth
of such beautiful words in our Eng
fish tongue.
But let us accept this definition,
and proceed. "The starting point of
divine Science is that God, Spirit, is
