IS ATTACKED BY
Rr. Rulgln's lecture at the taber
nacle last evening on Christian Sci
De drew a large and interested aud
ience. All seats were taken; others
vera, standing and a few left unable to
get' a seat.- For over two hours Dr.
flidgln spoke in his forceful and log
ical way on the subject, which he has
Studied for many years. In many
places after Dr. Bulgin leaves a reply
is made, when the speaker is not pres
ent to reply, bo be offered the platform
to Christian Science people or lecturer
dividing the time between them and
himself. The lecture in full was in a
printed form for distribution.

At 7 p. m. Dr. Bulgin speaks on Hell;
Is There a Hell, and if so Can a God
of kove Send Any One There? Many
8re turned away Sunday evenings, so
all must be on time to get Beats.
Dr. Bulgln'a lecture on . Christian
Science last night was In part as fol
lows: "1 am not prejudiced, for I have
studied Christian Science, having read
nil the literature sent out by the .Moth
er Church, have read Mrs. Eddy's book
over thirty times, and have taken the
course of lectures given by Mrs. Eddy
neroonally, In Bob ton, designed for
readers. I am not fighting another
Church, for Christian Science denies
All the fundamentals of the Church of
Christ, and I have a right to tear the
badge of the Cross and Crown from
such a sect. I am not attacking this
fleet, but Blmply answering the attack
they are making continually upon my
church and my Christ.
Christian Science is neither Chris
tianity, for they deny that Jesus Christ
is the Son of God, nor is it science,
for they know nothing of science or its
practices.. Christian Science is not a
religion according to the bible and
Christ. In her book Mrs. Eddy Bays,
''The material blood of Jesus was no
more efficacious to cleanse from Bin
when it was shed upon the 'accursed
tree' then when' it was flowing In his
e(us ob he went daily about His
Father's business." This is a direct
blow at the atonement of Christ. Again
the, Bays ".His disciples believed Jesus
to be dead while he was hidden In the
sepulcher, whereas He was alive,
demonstrating within the narrow tomb
the power of the spirit to overrul.
mortal, material sense." If this is true,
Jesus was the biggest' hypocrite in
history, for He allowed His disciples
to suffer and die for the fact of His
resurrection. , Again Mrs. Eddy says,
"Jesus restored Lazarus by the under
standing hat Lazarus had never died,
not by an admission that his body had
died and then lived again. Had Jestis
believed that Lazarus had lived or
died In his body, the Master would
ha vie stood on the same plane of belief
as' those who buried His 'body, and He
could hot have resuscitated 1(."
;Afteri repeatedly denying thereality
ot'p'aln. nd Buffering, Mrs. Eddy says
,:'.'lf from - an Injury or from an
cause a. Christian.. Scientist were seiz
ed with, pain bo violent that he could
not treat, himself mentally and the
iffctentlsta have failed to relieve him
the sufferer could call a surgeon, who
would, give him a hypodermic Injec
tion.. Then' when; the belief of pain
was lulled,- he ,could .handle his own
case mentally.' ...Thus It Is that we
prgfte all' things and hold to that which
is jjooii," This la just an example of
(he'.coiiiradictions'ln the teachings of
Mr. f Eddy. . I suppose that we are to
prove all things and bold fast to the
Ityfcbdctihio.
jf'V; -- Conception of God
ptit' the most invidious teaching is
th. conception of God.' She says, to
quotd ; again "The .eternal Elohlm In
cludes' the forever, universe. The name
J?khln is. In the plural, but this plur-alty6r-
Spirit does not Imply more
than-on? God,, nor does it Imply three
persons,, in. one. It relates to the one
ness, the ,lri;unity of Life, Truth and
Lo.ve? ..This Is the rankest sort of
unllariBm.; . Th.e bible says God is
Ti'lfilty.la personality.
You ask why' does Christian Science
grow; If It is hot right? Let me ask
you why did Brlgham Young, Mahomet
and Russell and all other sects grow?
These religious sects deny sin and of
fer a bonus. Morinanism offei the
bonus of sensuality; Kusselllsm offers
a no-hell theory, and EdUyism offers a
healthy body. Christian Science is not
a religion; it is not a science; it is
not medicine; it is not Christianity: it
is not biblical. The Eddyites hide be
hind personal liberty and insist that
health laws are an interference with
religious liberty. There are other
people's liberties and safeguards
which are prior to their claims of so
called religious liberty. A man's per
sonal liberty leaves off where another
man's 'personal injury begins. During
the "flu" epidemic in Los Angeles all
the churches were ordered closed. Now
as the creed of the Scientists is that
there is no sickness there could of
course be no death and therefore no
need of the "ban." They sought to
violate the law by opening their
churches, and one church made a test
of that law. Suppose that the majority
of the city government had been Scien
tists! Many of the Scientists died,
and stories are told of how they called
at night physicians, who were to leave
their cars a block or more away. Why
all this Christian Science? Why not
mental science and let everybody
practice it, and not make a religious
system founded on a mere health
psychic suggestion?
Direct From God
Mrs. Eddy claims that sht has re
ceived her teachings from God, as she
once said, "1 should blush to write of
Science and Health With Key to the
Scriptures' as 1 have, were it of hu
man origin, and I apart from God its
author, but as lwas only a scribe
echoing the harmonies of heaven in
divine metaphysics, I cannot be super
modest of the Christian Science text
book." Thousands are taught and do
believe that God literally dictated the
contents of this book to Mrs. Eddy.
This is the saciiliglous lie UHn which
Mrs. Eddy has reared her whole fraud
ulant superstructure. Mrs. Eddy has
so taught, her followers to believe that
there is no sickness, pain and Buffer
ing that many mothers permit their
children to suffer without the slightest
effort to relieve their pain. Mean
while the sickness Is real; the suffer
ing Is real, and after protracted suffer
ing the child dies without doing any
thing to relieve Its pain. . All disease.
Mrs. Eddy declares, is an effectatlon
of the mind. Any cure through drugs
is caused by faith in the drugs and
not through the drugs themselves.
Believe that you are well, and you
will be well, is the theory. Alas, were
it true, but it is not. Sin, sickness,
death are Illusions. If this be true,
then crime, which is only another
name for sin is only a belief of the
mortal mind. Can we bring ourselves
to believe that sin is only an Illusion?
The teachings of Mrs. Eddy are very
soothing to the conscience of the sin
ner. Why then should one bother
about sin, if it is only. a dream? Every
thinking man knows that Christ died
for something more than a mere fig
ment of the mind, if sin is nothing
why then did Christ die on the cross?

H. C. Garnett made the following
statement today regarding Dr. Bulgin:
".Medford has never had a man that
could hold the people like Dr. Bulgin,
one who can prove the divinity of
Christ outside the Bible; one who can
prove that the Bible is so Inspired
that its teachings can not be dlsproven
or wiped out; gets his knowledge not
from books or teachlnga but from God,
and much good has already been done
and much more will be done.

CALIFORNIA GLEE
CLUB NAT TONIGHT
The program of the University of
California Glee club differs materially
from that presented by most college
Glee clubs. There are serious songs,
college songs, plantation songs and
humorous songs by the club of course,
but the main feature of the program
is the vaudeville acts. Director Morse
does not allow an act to go on until
the actors have acquired the necessary
finish in their work. There is nothing
amateurish about the Glee club's pro
gram. i
Owing to their wide experience and
numerous appearances on the stage
the members of the club have all
acquired the aplomb of professionals.
Particularly is this noticeable In the
case of Charles Strlckfadden, saxo
phone soloist, Dave Pbennlg, violinist.
Harold Glrvin, singer of character
songs, and Ross Himes, who dances
and sings.
Tha Glee club will give their varied
program at Natatorium tonight at
7:30. 41
