" Science and Health " commences with the declaration : " In the year 18G(j I Jiscuvcred the science of metaphysical healing and named it Christian Science.

In what this fitting consisted she does i7ot tell us, but it appears to have been a .la])bling in spiritualism, clairvoyance, hydropathy, hoino-opathy and me.sineri,sin, and in being a patient and pupil of one, l)r. g.uiml)y, who practi-sed mesmerism and mind curino- and attained a wide reputation in the State of Maine during the' first halt of the century for his marvellous cures. In 1862, Mrs. Ed.ly (then I\Irs. Patterson) went to Portland to obtain his valuable services for the relief of an illness which, she says, had made her a hopeless invalid for' over six years. ' The exact nature of this illness is not statf^d, but any experienced physician will have no difficulty in diagnosing the case as one of common occurrence amongst a certain class of females, from the fact, as stated by herself, that " in less than one week after she visited Dr. (^ninby she ascendcnl by a stairway of 180 steps to the dome of the city hall." Mrs. Patterson remained in Portland for some time, and had fro(|Uent opportunities of becoming ac(|uainted with Dr. tjjiimby's method of treatment, which he described as fol- ^!!:_!"

Cunta,i;,m.~m». Eddy's teachings upon the subject of con- tagion are especially pernicious. According to her there is no such thuig as contagion.

For on page 2o7 of M. W. she has written, " Smoothing the pillow ot pain may mtect you with smallpox." For ages mankind believed in the power of witchcraft-that it was possible to produce disease in the bodies of others, so that they would sicken and even die. Those who po.ssessed the evil eve could wreck destruction upon man or beast merc-ly through their heir minds. \V herein does this old belief in witchcraft differ from Mrs. Eddy's belief? She says (pp. 411, 412)- "The mind being laden with illusions about disease, health laws and death conveys luental images to childrens' bodies and often stamps them there^ making it possible, at any time, that.such ills may be repro- duced in the very ailments feared. A child can have worms if you say so, or any oihor malady."

'' It should be understood that Spirit, (iod, is the only creator, ami xlnifs i,ut (ill iithvr <'l((',uis. Josephine Curtis Woodbury, in the article in the Arnui to which 1 have referred, refers to this subject as follows: " To what diabolical conclusions do such deductions lead? One may well hesitate to touch this delicate topic in ])rint, yet thus onlv can the immoral pos.sibilities and the utter lack of divine inspiration in Christian Science be shown. The substance of certain instruction giveiHiy Mrs. Kddy %ii pi-imt,' is as follows : " Women may become mothers b^- a supreme efibrt of tlieii- own nunds, or through the iiiHueiice upon them of an unholy ghost or malign .spirit. V\ omen cjf uiKiuestioned integrity who have been Mr.s hddys students testify that she has .so taught, and by this teaching families have been broken up: that thus maidens have been tempted out of their wits. Whatever her denials may be such wa,s Mrs. Eddy's teaching while in her college : to which .she added the oracular declaration, that it lay within her power to disso ve such laotherhood by a wave of lu'r celestial rod. One result of Mrs. Eddy's interference in family life is, that Christian bcience families are notably childle.s.s." This is not the time or place to di.scuss theological (jue.stions but 1 am quite within my i^roper bounds when I show how' diametrically this teaching is opposed to the Scriptures, of which Mrs. Eddy s book professes to be the " key " They tell us that " God maketh the barren woman to rejoice, and to be a joyful mother of children." That "children are the heritage of the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is his reward " Ihe younger women are enjoined to " marry and bear children • " and it is .said in Holy Scripture that " In "the latter days .some shall depart from the faith forbidding to marry." c. ^ifrix.^'^'l-^ '''■''* ^l''' au.lacity to twist the words contained in St. Matthews gospel, "It is not good to marry," .so as to make them appciir to be an injunction of Scripture. ^Plie context show.s that Mrs. Eddys api)lication of the words is in direct contradiction to our Saviours teaching on the subject of marriage. Before leaving this part of my subject permit me to .say a few words as to the Chri.stiaiiity of this .so-called Christian Science mind. I am not discussing the truth of Christianity; I am, as I have the right to, enquiring whether Eddyism is Christian or not. Ihe fundamental doctrine of Christianity is the death and resur- rection of our Saviour. He himself prophesied it. Everywhere m the New Testament it is asserted.
