treated, as coming from their father

ginning they soon disappear.
Christian Scientists do not close
their eyes to sin or to stealing or to
any manner of evil as might be sup
posed from Mrs. Swans statement
that ''if we see a man stealing an
other mans property it is only an il
lusiOn of mortal mind-one of it's
Dreams" Christian Scientists are es-
pecially directed to the ten command
ments and taught that they are to be
obeyed-Obeyed on Sunday and every
other day, and the children in the
Christian Science Sunday School are
especially instructed in the command
ments and the beatitudes. Christian
Science even goes further than the
protection of another mans property
and teaches that it is a sin to steal
another mans birthright. (See Mat
thew 5:19).
In the matter of i redeemer-what
more could be asked for in a redeem
er than for such a one to show the
way to overcome all evil and discord.
This Christian Science certainly does.
The writer has never heard it
claimed that there was anywhere in
existence one drop of the blood that
Jesus shed on the cross. Therefore
Christian Scientists see that there is
something more needed than the old
belief that the mere shedding of blood
could redeem them and blot out all
n hTT ch
ding of blood because Jesus proved |
that man could not be killed by sim
ply letting out his sO-called life blood |
That it was possible to overcome
death the last enemy. The roman sol
der by thrusting his spear in the side
of Jesus certainly left no room for
the claim to be made that He was not
dead when taken from the cross.
What man claims as the very essen
tial of life, blood, completely drained
from the body of Jesus until only
water flowed. This shows conclusively
that Jesus did not simply resusitate
the body but that he actually over
come the claim of death. Death was
swallowed up in victory" 1 Cor. Is:
54) This supreme proof that Jesus
was at one with Life or God is what
the Christian Scientists accept as the
or to use the word as it
better conveys it's real meaning at
with God. For this atone
ment or to have that mind which
was also in Christ Jesus" (Phil. $3.50
S what Christian Scientists are striv-
ng for.
Christian Science does not pervert
Ir contradict the Bible but it does
iay that the Bible must be spiritually
to get it's real meaning
md helpfulness.
Referring to the charge that Mrs.
eddy made for her teaching it might
,e said that there are hundreds of
thousands of her followers who would
e glad to pay three times three hun
red dollars for the opportunity to be
aught by her for six half days, or
ven less should she so decide that it
vas enough. These same people do not II
eify Mrs. Eddy either but simply rev.
renee her for the great light that she
1as able to throw on the Bible. The
ritter does not judge the person men
ioned by Mrs. Swan, who turned to
be ministry, but is reminded of John
: 65, 66) "And he said, Therefore
dlu uA4IO yOuS nO llen Ccln CO4uS uu- q
} me except it were given him of my
ather. From that time many of his
isciples went back and walked no
lore with him.
Mrs. Swan speaks of reading the
ible and reading it alone" Well for
Of years people have read
le Bible, and read it alone, but have
Tiled to see the spiritual interpreta-
on that Science and Health, with
ey to The Scriptures has put upon
until they read the two together.
II those years the very thing that
esus said should be the measure of
Christian was lacking, the power to
cal without the use of material
cans.
In conclusion the words from I
imothy 6: 20-21 20, Timothy, keep
at which is committed to thy trust,
rOiding profane and vain babblings,
i'd oppositions of Science falsely So
lied: which some protesting have
red concerning the faith. Grace be
th thee. Amen"
