To AN Earnest Seeker for TRUTH: -

THE notice n THE NEW
/ YORK HERALD, to which
you refer, seems ITO have
aroused many earnest seekers
for Truth" who are tuning to
me, pleading for an explanation
OF this strange announcement,
which, as you say, they consider
a contradiction of the teach
ing of Christ Jesus and
Mary Baker Eddy"
1t is impossible for me to send
an individual answer to these
letters, or to give my time to per-
sonal s,Yuirers;; therefore I reply,
through the columns Of the press,
to the multitude who are ques-
tioning the possibilities of man
when governed by God, as taught
by the Galilean prophet, Christ
Jesus, the delnonstratoi' of mans
eternal oneness with his crea-
tor, and who proved the dream
of death to be an illusion. /
will give you my understanding
Of Christian Science, as taught
and demonstrated by Christ Jesus,
end in this age discovered and
founded by Mary Baker Eddy.
In Unity Of Good, page 3S,
Mrs. Eddy says: Death is a con-
tradiction of Life, or Cod" and
IN Science and Health she declares
that man is not material; he is
spiritual" (p. 468.)
Tho records OF 'biIth' and
death" belong to the early stage
Of human experience, in the ma
terial organization. Our Leader,
Mrs. Eddy. wisely guided her

verse. Let our Leader be hear d
in this hour:
ltisweil know. dear reader, that
our material. mortal history is hut
the record of dreams, not of mans
real existence, and the dream has
no place in the Science of being.
The human history needs
to be revised, and the material
record eSpunged. (Retrospection
and in:rospection, p. 21)
The material sense of God.
man, and the universe must be
replaced by spiritual sense, to
reveal God and His man, idea,
or child. The attainment of
spiritual sense enables the stu
dent of Christian Science to un-
derstand and demonstrate the
Science of Life and the POSSIBLE
ties, with which God endowed
man, to whom He gave "do-
minion,' as executor of His
eternal law of Life and Love.
Jesus said to his disciples:
/ and my Father are one.
Father i. that they may be
one, as we are.

Our revered Leader says:
The meek Nazarene's steadfast
and true knowledge Of preexist-
ence, of the nature and insepara-
bility of God and man,-made
him mighty. -.
The Scriptures declare Life to
be the infinite l AM,--not
dweller in matter. For man to
know Life as it is, namely God, the
eternal good, gives him not merely
sense Of existence, but an accom-
panying consciousness Of spiritual
power that subordinates matter
and destroys gin, disease, and death.
This, Jesus demonstrated. /.

The master Metaphysician,
Jesus the Christ, endured the
death of the false material senses,
or the physical crucifixion in
flicted by the carnally minded,
who placed him in a tomb and
sealed the tomb with a stone,
vainly attempting to destroy
him. History records his DEM
ons.ration of his teaching. He
rolled back the stone and walked
forth, triumphant over the So
called carnal mind, and won a
sublime victory over the illusion
called death.
AS | have stated, our Leader
rose beyond the mental ability
of any Of her students TO pisualize
her, md in that hour those who
retained a material sense Of her,
carried Out the ceremony of the
mate,ialists and buried their me-
terial concept of the Leader in a
grave. AT that time, I was in
terviewed in regard to this OK
perience in the history Of Chris
tian Scientists, and if you will
consult one of my books, Rsmi-
ntscences, Sermons and Core
spopdence, beginning at page
1914, you Will there find my re-
pies to the questions OF an
interviewer.
He inquired, What are Mrs.
Eddy views in regard to death?"
My answer was, "She instructs
her followers to overcome the be-
lief of life in matter, with its sin,
sickness, and death, by gaining
the Mind of Christ. In her text
book, Science and Health Nth
Key to the Scriptures, and in her
other writings, she continues to
teach that there is no death, :"
that all is Mind" there is no
mater" She declares that there
is no substance, nor intelligence
in mortal thought, so-called, nor
in its manifestation, mortal man
and the material universe. In
Unity Of Good, page 80, she
AYERS:
It is unchristian to believe in
the transition called material death,
since matter has no life.
Therefore Christian Scientists
must not continue TO commem-
crate material BIZ and death;
and if they strive to emulate the
life of Christ and are loyal to the
teachings Of our levered Leader,
Mary Baker Eddy, divine Love
will enlighten them, as they
emerge from a material sense of
God, man, and the universe, to
the spiritual apprehension Of
eternal Life and Love, the source
and supply OF their being. Mrs.
Eddy says:
BY loyalty in students 1 mean
this, allegiance to God, subordi-
nation of the human to the divine,
steadfast justice, and strict adj
herence to divine Truth and
Love. (Retrospection and Intro
spcction, p. 50.)
All Christians, weary Of the
fruitlessness of the search tor
eternal Life and unity with our
Fathcr-Mothcr God, are look
ing, longing, and praying for q
cessation, through Christ, Truth,
of the ills to which flesh is heil
and for the passing away of the
former things" (thoughts)
which produced sickness anc
death. The divine metaphy-
sician, or true Christian Scien.
fist, comprehends Though spiriS-
ual sense) the words of Mrs
Eddy:
The foam and fury of illegitimate
living and of fearful and doleful
dying should disappear on the
shore of time; then the waves of
sin, sorrow, and death beat IN vain.
iScience and Health, p. 203)

in matter" since God is Spirit,
eternal Life and Love, the only
creator, and that all that he
creales is real, Ibis own image
and likeness, accepting the
teaching which Christ Jesus
gave to the world and demon
strated, it seems incredible that
his disciples. or the followers OF
Mrs. Eddy can be found believ-
ing in and perpetuating the false
claim Of material birth, growth,
decay, and death. They seem
not yet to understand that it is q
q belief of material birth" that
fulfils the conditions of fleshly
belief and disappears in what
mortals call death"
As in Adam all die, even so In
Christ shall all be made alive.
q. Corinthians XIV, o.
The mesmeric, hypnotic condi-
ton OF the so-called tarnal mind
has deceived the whole world
with its claim of life in matter,
and some, who are earnestly
striving to follow the teaching OF
Christ Jesus and our God-insr ired
Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, have
not yetspiritualized their thought
sufficiently to apprehend the
spiritual facts of scientific being.
These earnest seekers for Truth
have not yet heard the voice oil
the ever-present Christ:
Why seek We the living among
the dead?
He is not here, but is risen.
MARX XIV, s, g.
All true Christ ian Scientists
are striving to attain the Mind
OF Christ, and follow and obey
their beloved and revered Leader,
Mary Baker Eddy, and they will
antually, through suffering out
OF the ileshly dream of life in
matter, in obedience to the law
of Life and Love, emerge from
the material senses and begin
to build on a wholly spiritual
foundation"
Eleven years ago our revered
Leader rose beyond the mental
capacity Of any Of her students
to continue to visualize, or OBJ
jectify her; but her advanced
students knew that she had moi
died. They refused to be sep
arated from her spiritual indi-
viduslity, and they continued to
rise mentally with her IN her
ascending thought. Two years
before this she had published
in the Joulnsl letter to her
dear brethren in New York. y
from which | quote:
When my dear brethren in New
York desire to build higher
they must begin on a wholly
spiritual foundation, than which
there is no other.
Spirit is infinite; therefore Spirit
is all. "There is no matter" is
not only the axiom OF true Christ
ian Science, but it is the only
basis upon which this Science can
be demonstrated.

Mrs. Eddy is mentally active
in our midst, solving the problem
of scientific being, rising to spil-
itual dominion and demonstra-
ton, as did Christ Jesus, over the
illusion of death and the grave.
Her students are arising and CALI
ing her blessed. They are de-
Tending and demonstrating her
teaching. Her Church, the
structure of Truth and Love"
not a material edit ce, which is
but the symbol, is built upon the
Rock, Christ, and "the gates of
hell shall not prevail against it. u
Jesus was crucitied for his efforts
to waken the world from the be-,
lief in sin, sickness, and death.
Mrs. Eddy, in her endeavols to
al ouse humanity to awake and
come forth from the bondage of
material birth and death, antago-
nized the carnal mind. 1t was a
mental battle that Jesus waged
and in which he triumphed. 1t
is a mental battle between hate
and love, evil and good, death
and life, the calnally minded
and the spiritually minded,
which Mrs. Eddy is encounters

parts OF the country viii pilgrnages to her

IN the Herald and which have also observed in the

contradiction Of Mrs Eddy's teaching that turn to
you almost in despair, and beg you will not consider me
Pfesuptuous in asking tell what reversal
OF MRS. Eddys teaching means? Does not Mrs Eddv
eeaen that we should not admit material birthdays as
real since they but the cornernoration of the pro-
DUCT OF the carnal mind? In reference cornnerora
ton OF her birthday by the dedication of the Concord
Snurch, she asks. '. why this meaningless COM
ernoration OF birthdays since there are none?" (The
First Church OF Christ Scientist, Miscellany o. 2s3
Does not Science and Health with Kew to the
Scriptures instruct that birth and death are
but phases OF mortal belief and have nothing with
the reality of being? If why Christian Scientists
go to "grave?"
Having read your published sermons and articles
turn to you with hope that you enlighten me
upon this strange contradiction the teaching of
Christ Jesus and Mary Baker Eddy. There must be
thousands who will be shocked as l was at this in
