Letters from the People

Christian Science" and you will find
this on page Is. Also, on page u OF
Peabody's exposure of Mrs. Eddy's
doctrine, that Mr.. George A. Quinn
by, a young man living in Belfast,
Maine, and who swears that he is the
son of DIR. P. B. Quimby, and that he
has examined Mrs. Eddy's book and
swears that undoubtedly it is copy
of his fathers writing now in his pos
session.
So, Mr.. Scholl, you say we are
without proof. Would be glad to have
you reply to this.
/ also want to call your attention to
McClure's Magazine, page 238, of the
March number, 1907, that many of
the names used and the phraseology
in Mrs. Eddy's work is similar to that
of Ann Lee, the celebrated English
woman who was driven out of Amer
lea at about the beginning of the
Eighteenth Century. At the close of
the Seventeenth she lived in Concord
and a woman by the name of Mrs.
Dyre published in Concord, in 1850,
the doctrine of Ann Lee who was one
of the leaders of the great cult "The
American Shakers" Ann Lee says,
aCall me mother, Cod; Mrs. Eddy
says, "Call me mother" and in her
glossary says, "God and mother is the
same thing" Ann Lee claimed to be
the Comforter; Mrs. Eddy says
"Christian Science and the Holy Ghost
are the same thing" Ann Lee claimed
to be woman of the Apocalypse. In
the mother church at Boston, origi-
nally there was a stained glass win
dow showing Mrs. Eddy clothed in the
Sun and draped With twelve stars.
They took it out later on. Ann Lee
claimed to have the gift of healing;
SO does Mrs. Eddy. Ann Lee claimed
to be spiritually illuminated and see
things ahead of the church; Mrs. Eddy
makes the same claims. Ann Lee
governed largely through fear and
often used the words malicious ami
NAL magnetism; Mrs. Eddy uses the
same. Ann Lee says, "Call my church
the mother church," Mrs. Eddy does
the same. Ann Lee said that she suf-
fered infirmities by mental sugges-
ton from other people; Mrs. Eddy
makes the same claim. Ann Lee for
babe audible prayer; Mrs. Eddy does
the same. Finally, Ann Lee enjoyed
cellbacy; MIS-. EQdy CeacneS CnaC cell
bacy is more spiritual state than mar
rage.
l wish, since your esteemed lecturer
is coming on Sunday afternoon to
teach your doctrine in our esteemed
high school auditorium, that he would
be kind enough to please not dodge
the issue, but for the benefit Of your
readers, answer the following ques-
tions.
If he will answer them in the af-
firmative as the Bible, under the or,
dained ministry of today believe them,
will take off my hat to the cult and
never open my mouth again. If he can
not and will not, / must insist on the
line of teaching that I have kept up
for nearly twenty-five years, and will
keep on until I die. These questions
will not be hard to answer; they are
not for an orthodox Christian. Stick
to the case in question and let my
education and my dear old aunt, alone.
1. Was Jesus Of Nazareth God?
2. Did Jesus really suffer pain?
3. Did he die upon the cross an
actual physical death?
a. Did Jesus rise from the dead?

The burning Of a large part Of
the business section of the city Of
Cork in Ireland is the most disastrous
event that has yet occurred in the
unfortunate state of rebellion that
exists against England. The reports
do not make clear where the respon-
sibility for the act lies. By some
it is placed upon the auxiliary police
and by others on the rebellious fac
tion of ireland. As a result of the
fire large number of the well-to-do
business men have left the city and
business is at a standstill
