CHRISTIAN SCIENCE, ITS
WEAKNESS AND FALLACIES
Rev. W. T. Milliken Replies to Criti
cism of Paul Stark Seeley
Editor Courier:
In an article published in the Cour
ier of Feb. 19, Mr. Paul StaYk Seeley
criticises my statement that there is
an error in Christian Science meta
physic. Mr. Seeley may be an expert
in Christian Science, but he certainly
shows a lamentable lack of know
ledge of the use of real metaphysi
cal terms when he thinks that when
I am speaking of "noumenal" reality
tVinf. T mean "nomenal" reality, as he
calls it. But which is correct, he or
I?
Dr. Prince of Dickinson College
says he had the following dialogue
with a Christian Scientist: .
PMn.o What, is matter?
C. S. Matter is an illusion of Mortal
Mind.
Prince. What is Mortal Mind?
r. s. Nnthine- . As Mrs. Eddy says
"Nothing claiming to be Something."
Pr. But how can a cause which Is
nroduce an effect which is
a.w ... O 1 "
Hnmp.thincr ?
C. S. It can't. The effect is an illu-
ninn.
Pr. But as experience the illusion is
a fact nevertheless. Who is the
victim. RDiritual man?
C. S. No, for he is incapable of illu
sion, being made in the image and
likeness of Uoa. Mortal man
the victim.
Pr. But vou sav mortal man is
fiction. Now to experience illusion
implies mental activity. How then
can the mortal man, who does not
even exist, think at all, even tho
to be deceived?
. C. S. He really doesn't. The whole
thing, counterfeit, counterfeiter,
and victim are illusion.
Pr. Then who experiences the illu
sion? Not spiritual man, for he is
incapable of a wrong idea, and not
mortal man for he does not exist
Who then has the illusion of the
matter ?
C. S. Oh you don't understand Chris
tian Science, that is all. If you but
understood it, all would be as clear
as day.
"Matter is illusion, and illusion is
a false experience. Only false intelli
gence can have a false experience,
and a false Intelligence doesn't ex
ist." Hence next time I run across the
illusion of a hole in the ground I can
cheerfully walk straight on, knowing
that there is nothing there to fall in
to; and nothing to fall into what's
not there to fall into; and no such
thing as falling for nothing that's
not there to fall. The logic is irresis
tible, and reminds me of the celebra
ted lawsuit between McTavish and
McEagh, over a potash kettle. Mc
Tavish claimed that McEagh borrow
ed his potash kettle and returned it
cracked. McEagh's contention was as
follows:
"McTavish never had a potash ket
tle. McEagh never borrowed McTav
ish's kettle.
It was cracked when McEagh bor
rowed it.
It was sound as a bell when Mc
Eagh took it home."
Yet they designate such mush
"Science!!!"
The difficulty with Christian
Science is its double psychology, in
vented to get rid of the fact of sin
hence of the necessity for surrender
to Christ as an Absolute and only
Savious from sin. Sin was a mighty
disagreeable fact for the much mar
ried divorcee who founded the cult to
face. It is vastly more flattering to
the pride to say: "Now Lord, you
never mind me. Just go ahead and
look out for yourself. Show me the
way and I'll take care of myself.
How much more pleasant this is than
to get down upon your marrow bones
in genuine contrition for sin. At all
I costs sin had to be ruled out of the
universe. This could be done only by
denying the existence of all evil. In
cidentally a few sheckels could be
raked in on the side by including the
annihilation of physical evil with that
or moral evil, Hence Mrs. h.ddy s
philosiphy has an cthico-finnncial
reason, and not a logical one.
But wherein does it err as a phil
osophy? Mrs. Eddy is not the first
idealist by any means. Six hundred
years before C hrset lleraclilus chum
ed that "Becoming" his term for en
ergy was the basis of all phenomen
al reality. The idealism of Plato
teaches that the universe is the men
tal manifesting itself in external
forms. Kant, Berkely, and the eight
eenth century idealists recognize two
forms of reality, a noumenal or abso
lute reality, and a phenomenal real
ity, derived from the other, and at
one with it, yet distinct. "There is
nothing true in her philosophy that is
new." And even the fallacy of the
soleuess of Divine Mind she has bor
rowed from Esoteric Buddhism.
Science says there is an absolute
or "Noumenal reality." This is God.
But the Absoluto and tho Infinite can
have time nor space relations, for
these are finite. To be Infinite means
to be boundless and timeless. But the
Infinite is also active Intelligence,
His intelligence is creative. What He
knows to be is. Thus from the flow
of His creative energy, or rather
within it, arises a reality other than
the Noumenal, namely, the Phenom
cenal. And this without any contra
diction of the Absolute. The Abso
lute is the Creator. The Phenomenal
is the flow of His intelligent energy,
Mind is a producer; Energy is a pro
duct. Matter, which in its last analy
sis is composed of electrons, or cen
tres of force, is but that energy in its
diverse iorms. the Absolute is real
with a Noumenal reality. The divcrsi
fied energy of the Absolute is just as
real, but with a phenomenal reality
Hence matter is as real as God, being
a form of His Creative energy. The
erroneous is the purely temporal ele
ment in tho flow of God's Divine en
ergy. That which is but temporal is
eliminated from the stream when it
passes on. She is always connected
with the temporal lusts, and passion
and the soul that choose such, and
refuses, through the touch of the Re
deeming Christ, to be "Born Again"
into the likeness of the Absolute must
perish with all other temporal things.

solute, and the reasonable view of

upon us, yet it cannot eliminate it,
and even Christian Scientists contract

itself in phenomenal reality.
Let me quote Dr. Sturge of Cam
bridge University, England. She says
of Mrs. Eddy's reiteration that there
is no affinity between Matter and
,viin,i- "in the light of these wonder
ful glimpses of the relation between
Minu and Matter, which, though as
t hut little understood, indicate
..... Hnn..w.n a muni.
that Matter is an expi sodium,
fUUntinn nf Mind, and so happily re
duce the apparent opposites to Unity
without the sacrnice 01 .euuei
he light of such heones, tending as
they do to endorse the exquisite old
poetical idea that the Universe is
the garment of God,' an adumbration
from Him, a veil through which
glimpses of the Splendor may be
seen how pitiably read such olt-re-peated
passages as these,
Spirit snares not us bucnsui
mutter.' Who dare say either that
God is in Matter, or that matter ex
ists without God? Who dare indeed?
It is Mrs. Eddy who dares to say
that it exists without God, for it is
she who gives it alien life all to it
self, cut olf from all share in Mind,
or Law, or Spirit. It is she who en
dows with high creative powers on
its own account this poor nomine
claiming to be something,' this 'op
posite of Spirit and therefore oppo
site God,' this mortal mind with its
beliefs and its reasonings, hh nmtei
ial senies, 'which neither exist tin
Science nor can be recognized by the
Spiritual sense,' (but which is here
and' must be reckoned
with.) It is she who, by denying that
mind can manifest itself in matter,
or matter's other phase, as she calls
it.- mo rial mind, makes two creators,
two causes, two alien worlds, two in
telligences, in contradiction to her
own First Principle This is ty
pical of the book (Science & Health)
throughout; not a single statement
is thought out, and never does the
author, when talking glibly of Mat
ter and Mind, of Soul and Body, or of
any other apparent pair of opposites,
look below tho mere suriace 01 me
thing. She simply cuts the knot of
the difficulty bv denying existence to
one member of the pair. And thus she
gets rid of the matter." Let me add
that her method is that of the old
schoolmaster who used to say to his
pupils when they came to a hard word
in their reading lesson: "Never mind,
honey, pass it by. It is only the name
of a wild beast."
I have not space to discuss Mr.
Seeley's Scriptural quotations. Read
them carefully for yourself in their
context, and you will find that they
have about as much relevancy as
Pat's argument for suicide: "Judas
went and hanged himself," "Go thou
and do likewise." Just one example:
"It is tho spirit that quickeneth, the
flesh profiteth nothing." This, he
says, leaves "no room for material
phenomena in the consciousness." It
leaves no such thing. It says that the
material does not PROFIT the soul.
It nowhero affirms that it will not
AFFECT the consciousness, though.
Christian Scientists still eat food and
wear clothes, and prove that their
interpretation is a fallacy.

and not into grafts. And they have

In almost every paper you pick up
you may find some item of people
who were once well to-do or wealthy,
but came to want in old age or soon

accidental death and thus go beyond
theirs utTering. Do you think such can
never bo your fate because you are

hapless persons" were your equal in
their day. Here are a rouple of items
among many that I noticed:
A couple of months ago twin
brothers 72 years old were found in
an old coal shute in Louisville. Even
the cops saw at once that one was
sick. He was sent to a hospital while
the other was sent to jail. You see
jail is a nice place for poor old
working people. He begged to be tak
en to the hospital as they had always
been together. They had driven horse
cars for 40 years when the trolley
system left them jobless. Their sav
ings were invested in a farm, so back
to the land they went. Later they
lost their farm, just as it is possible
for you; then they were homeless and
infirm. The one in jail was dead next
morning, the sick one was delirious.
You see the reward capitalism gives
honest toil.
Under a Springfield date line of
February lwe learn that Jesse Kel

Again, the Ladies
Women are easy marks for the
medical proffesion. Never having
been taueht anything to the contrary
they have usually placed absolute
confidence in the family doctor and
his advice, even to having an opera
tion performed that would mutilate
and cripple them for life, has usually
been heeded. "Medical Ethics" have
always kept the people in ignoranec
for if the layman learned anything
about himself he became a menance
to the medical proffesion, hence he
must be kept in ignorance.
The usual ills to which women are
peculiarly subjected are in nearly all
cases the result of wrong living and
follow derangement of the stomach,
bowels and liver. As the medical pro
fession knows practically nothing of
the cause of disease, they not only
know nothing about diseases of wo
men, but do not know how to treat or
relieve them. This being the case the
family doctor magnifies the mole hill
into a mountain and advises an op
eration. His friend the "specialist" of
course coincides and splits his big
fee with the family doctor and in
these days you must plank down the
cash in advance before the knife is
stuck into you, or a mortgage must
be placed on the home in advance
then you are promised "perfect
health" in six months or a year. .
After the nerves and muscles have
been severed and some of her organs
removed, or she is unsexed, the poor
woman's sufferings only begin. She
realizes that her life is wrecked and
that her highest . ambition mother
hood, has been killed and she suffers
from nervous and mental worry and
shock until the end. When any woman
find3 that she needs advice about
these ills don't bo bamboozled into an
operation by some human vulture,
but first try some good doctor of any
drugless school. These troubles are
easy to remove and nature works a
speedy and harmless cure wnen as
sisted by drugless methods. Once tri
ed you will be a convert and mission
ary for all time and shout the prais
es of drugless healing. They are sim
ple and absolutely effective for they

make you well.

of the allopathic medical profession,
not of the people, but when some sly
humorist in the legislature slipped in
our amendment making the doctors
doctors' fee only $3 they at once lost
interest in it and began to oppose it
and within one month it was declar
ed unconstitutional as all medical
laws favoring one class of doctors
are.
The serious side of Eugenics, that
some of the freaks, who advocate it
have overlooked, is that it tends to
prevent lawful marriage and the
making of homes; will increase com
mon law marriages: put a premium
on unlawful cohabitation and the so
cial evil. People must sooner or later
reject these crazy fads of the medi
cal profession and can do so by put
ting them out of office.
School Children Refuse Vaccination
The New York Press says: "The
President of the Board of Education
of Harrison, New Jersey, wrote to
the state school authorities yesterday
for advice how to dispose of a strike
of 100 school children there. The pu
pils have refused to be vaccinated at
the order of the board, and, backed
by their parents, are naving a holi
day. The school children got an ap
propriation based on the attendance.
The vaccination strike is decreasing
this so that it is feared that there
will not be enough money to pay the
month's bills."
The school children of Oregon
should do likewise.
Death from Effects of Vaccination
The Kansas City Journal says:
"The death from lockjaw of Lucille
Hough, 6 years old, after a recent
vaccination againsts mallpox, will not
deter the health officers from contin
uing to enforce the vaccination rulef
sucn was the statement made by the
Health Commissioner Wheeler."
This is comforting to the parents
of school children.
Is It Logical?
Dr. Harry E. Brooke in Brain and
Brawn says: "It is no wonder that
people become confused when those
who call themselves experts differ so

Therefore ask yourself, is it ogical
to suppress the eruptions of disease
without removing the cause?
Is it logical to attempt to cure a
poison in the blood by administering
poisonous drugs and animal serums?
Is it logiSal t o force food into a
sick stomach when the juices neces

absent ;
Is it logical to cut out necessary
organs of the body, such as the ap- ,
pendix and the tonsils (and the ovar

as before?
This is what the medical profes
sion does to you under the guise of
"curing" you.

before a meeting of scientists and r

nsserted that one fourth of the med

who nre clamoring for class laws to .

Drugs and drug doctors will soon be

Swedish Movements and Osteopathy
Osteopathy heratdecr a new drug
less svstem and is in reality but a
small fragment of the Swedish move
ments ; so small in fact that osteo
paths now are studying surgery and
some are using drugs, in fact they
hpvem fide their beds with the medi
cal profession in their desire for rec
ognition, and pull with them on all
occasions, snd are practically out
lawed by all other schools of drugless
healing.
Somapathy or manual manipula
tion for the cure of disease was URed
.1,000 years before the Christian Era
md from 1776 to 1839 wass ystem
atized ami brought to the attention
of the civilized world. The honor of
pstablishinir this method on a strictly
mipntific basis belongs to Dr. Hen
drick Ling of the Lund University,
Stockholm, Sweden, in 1813, about 80
vears before osteopathy was known,
ind the statement that this method
wps "discovered" by Dr. Still is all
rot.
It is an undeniable fact that Dr.
TCochenberg, the Swedish manipula
tor and Mechano Therapist taught
Dr. Still the essentials and methods
of maninulation in Dr. Still's college.
Any original ideas that may have
been iniected into the system by Dr.
Wll have evidently been rejected for
todav osteopathy remains as only a
small part of the Mechano Therapy
portion of the great Swedish Move
ments system, and does not even em
brace a comprehensive knowledge of
scientific massage. Honor to whom
honor is due.
Swedish movements and chiroprac
ticare far in advance of osteopathy
and the effects of their treatments
more permanent and lasting.
