is proven that mind without the aid

earlier writings she admits the power
And if you keep up your method of
attack) and un-C'hristlike and un-ChrU-tian
methods I will quit the evangelis

ing Christian Science. You have my
prayers that you may see the light
of mesmerism and psychic suggestion. 1 have uo right upon you, ail ludlvia

-Mr. Theodore Hurkliart: Dear Sir:
1 have understood thai you lCddyites
nre such lovely people as you claim,
and so did your mother Kddy claim
that you never think evil and you
never sjeak evil; in fact there Is no
evil .but 1 see that you don't hesitate
in bold type to call liulgin a liar and
that, too, for the slightest provocation.
And according to your usual system
you do not show any proof of where I
lied, hut merely your opinion. I call
your attention to the fact, according to
your own theory, there Is no evil, and
no devil, no sickness or sorrow. Then
1 could not have lied, since a lie is
evil, and Jlrs. Kddy says there is no
evil. Then liulgin did not lie.
No, the old gag that 1 did not take n
course of study in Huston 1 did not'
because I could not. That sounds very
. much like your usual system. I Just
did not becauso it could not he. That's
a fair sample of your way of dealing
with facts.' A thing could not be just
because it Isn't. That sounds like a
granny woman UO years old, or ti little
child of three and a half. You can
. say there is no pain, you do say there
is uo sickness, and no death. But that
does not prove your theory. Every
aching tooth, every sick bed, every bit
of sorrow, and every creeping old
hearso, and every little grave on the
billables or this world puts the lie to
your theory. Now listen for once t"
the real truth. Hero it is In hold type.
1 did go to Boston, Massachusetts
.and . study Christian Science four
mouths. And all your denial and nil
;j"your saying 1 did not do It because 1
, could not do It, does not prove my
i statement untrue. 1 did not, however.
5 pay Mrs. Eddy the $350, neither did I
, matriculate as a regular student. I
went there, more in the nature of a
i. secret service man, sent by my Pre
i bytery to give her n lair and unbiased
judgment without entangling .myself.
I .have talked with Mrs, Eddy several
limes, privately licit hat Concord and
Boston, and I have heard from her
own Jlps nbont all she over had to say
on (lie subject of Christian Science.
You say in your article, Mr. Theodore,
that there . was no such a course for
leaders, and never has been. I call
your attention to Lawyer Beabody's
book, ,)mgd 31, to Iho following state
ment: "The collegiate course in Chris
tian Science, metaphysical healing, ill
. eludes 12 lessons. Class convenes at
10 a. m. The first week six consecu
tive lessons. The term continues 31
weeks. Tuition $300. Tuition for all,
strictly cash in advance" According
to this, Mrs. Kddy must have received
. her revelation from Clod -CO.!.
Again ydu will find an ndvertlse-
5 ment in. 1SS1. Mrs. Eddy .established
j what she called Iho Massachusetts
Metaphysical College of Christian Sci
ence healing. Her adopted son, her
husband, and herself constitute the
faculty. In the Christian Science
Journal ot September, lS'.Hi, she puts
out another advertisement for readers
mid those Interested In tho study, and
yet yon say, Mr. Theodore, there was
no such a course. How do yon feel
now in calling d sincere gospel minis
ter, trying to do good In (lod's king
dom, a falsifier and liar. You better
write another article and square your
self with the general public.
You say in your article that Chris
tian Scientists never attack another
person or 'creed then what are you
now doing? Both attacking a person
and tho doctrine. Haven't I a right to
defend my faith against tho constant
and Insidious atlncks, when you are
constantly stealing lambs from our
church, when it's n proven fact that !)5
percent of the members of tho Chris-
tlan Science church conio out of our
j orthodox churches? Either disuffect-
ed church members or persons with a
j sick body, who nre like il drowning
j man grabbing at n straw, leave our
j orthodox religion for mere cures of
L.the body. We do not deny healing of
the body in answer to prayer, but in
! all ages the church has endorsed that.
Every time you deliver a lecture, every
! time you put your literature at out
door, every 'time .you fill our public
reading racks with your literature, is
an attack upon us,-. But when I reply
in defense of my own faith, then 1
must be called by you, a state reader,
a villfler and a liar. This is a fair
ear mark of the cult.
Now you say in this article that
Christian Science denies pychlc sug
gestion or hypnotism, but you claim it
Is just the opposite. I call your ntten
tion to page 179 of Mrs. Eddy s hook
of 1S8G she says "The evidence of the
power of mind exercised over the body
has accumulated such weight : that
our courts have to recognize the evf
dence that goes to prove commital of
crime by the mind. If socalled mind
of one mortal has killed another, is it
not this mind proved a murderer?
And shall not the man be sentenced.
Atoning blood of Jesus. You say that
Christian Science does not deny the
resurrection of our Lord, and that
Christian Science does not deny the
death and resurrection of Lazarus, and
that' Christian Science does not deny
marriage, or in any sense of the word
make light of It. Just for once, face
these facts, and I don't want you to
practice what a lawyer would call suit
in avoidance, but stick to the text, and
tell mo what am I to believe by the
following: On page 25. 1911 edition,
of Science anil Health, anil paragraph
ti. Mrs. Kddy says: "The material
blood of Jesus was no more efficacious
to cleanse from sin when It was shed
UKin the accursed tree, than when il
was flowing in His Veins." If that is
not I'nitarinisni of the most blasphe
mous nature, then I nui Incapable of
understanding my Bible, when It says
"Without the shedding of blood
there Is no remission." Christ died for
our sins. It is the blood that maketh
an atopement for the soul. Now either
.Mrs. Eddy Is wrong, or Clod s word Is
wrong.
Head again on page 4-1, paragraph 27
Mrs. Eddy says: "His disciples be
lieved Jesus to ho dead, while ho was
hidden in tho sepulchre whereas He
was alive, demonstrating within the
narrow tomb the power of Spirit, to
overrule mortal material sense." If
this Is not a denial of tho resurrection.
Mr. Theodore Burkhart, please explain
what does It mean?
On page 75, Mrs. Eddy says "Jesus
restored Lazarus by understanding
that Lazarus had never died. Had
Jesus believed that Lazarus had lived
or died in his body, tlio Master would
have Stood on the same plane of belief
as those who buried the body, and it
could have resuscitated it." Then will
you explain, kind friend, if Lazarus
was not dead, what was it that smelt
bad, for Martha Bald "Uy this tlmo he
stlnketh."
Now I am merely defending my
truth and my cntiso from such insid
ious anil bold statements as you have
made. Yoli say it's futile to try and
convince those who have not an open
mind. I would put my side of the
question this way it's futile to try
and convince those who have no mind
at all, for when you attempt to tell
mo that all the Catholic priests
America, that all the highly educated
Episcopalian divines, and that all the
Methodist bishops, and all the educat
ed Protestant ministers, who do not
and cannot drink In this incoherent,
disjointed conglomerated pantheistic,
Unitarian philosophy of Mary Baker
Glover Patterson Asa G. Eddy, dished
up hash, are not open-minded, and
have no brains at all, is both unrea
sonablc, unpliilosophlc, silly, sicken
ing and weak. I have read her book
through myself -190 thnes, when sick
and well. I have read everything
that has ever como- from her pen.
And It's surely begging the question,
Brother Theodore, to say that all of
us are a set of fools who are not open
minded. Take for an example when it
comes to Logic and Science, pago 64,
1902 edition, what she says In regard
to marriage "Until It Is learned that
Clod Is the Father of all marriage had
better continue." Then take what she
says in 18!)(i as published by Peahody
on page 50 of Peabody's book on Chris
tian Science "1 cannot say that I
have found very much, sympathy on
the part of husband and wife in regard
to views upon the marriage' relation.
Is marriage nearer right than celibacy.
Human knowledge inculcates that It
is. If that be true what are you to do
with the relation of Adam and Eve in
the Garden, nnd Saint Paul's endorse
ment of the marriage relation being
so sacred that it's like the mystic
union between Christ and Ills Bride.
Take another fair sumplo of Her
inconsistencies on page 10S, 1902 odi
tion, "Sin, sickness, disease', death. Is
false testimony of false material
sense. Then there must be a lot of
us, Mrs. Eddy included with us, that
have false sense, for she is dead.
Another fair sample of your philoso
phy, ,ahd the contradiction of the same
on page 174, paragraph 21 "Belief
is all that ever enables a drug to cure
mortal ailments." I asked Airs. Eddy
once in Concord, New Hampshire, how
she explained that If an innocent child
of two years, or a baby of one year,
would take arsenic or poison by acci
dent, what is it that kills the baby,
and she replied it was the operation of
other minds, investing the drug with
the poison.
Now read page 4fil, and see another
sample of her philosophy paragraph
12 "If from an Injury or from uny
cause a Christian Scientist were
seized with pain so violent that he
could not treat himself mentally and
the scientist had failed to relieve him,
tho 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." Now she denies pain and
then admits it. She says that drugs
have no virtue but sends for a hyio
dermic, but the hypodermic must get
at the belief of pain, then evidently
since belief Is in the head the hypo
dermic should he put In the hend. You
ask me to swallow that down whole
sale as philosophy, theology or com
mon sense? Well, I can't do it, and I
have the most profound pity for those
who do and can; but 1 don't care to be
called a liar, fool, falsifier, or a man
without an open mind, because I can't
take down such stuff, and I serve no
tice on you now as a state reader that
as long as you keep up your insidious
attacks, villifying and personal abuse
I shall fight the cult us long us I live.

the Lord Jesus Christ, the doctrine of
sin, sickness and death as a reality,
the immortality of the soul, and the
doctrine of a real Heaven for the
saints, and a real. hell for the sinners.
if you have tiie truth and the whole
truth, why do you not follow the
teachings of the Christ in the ordi
nance of baptism and why do you not
take tho Lord's Supper? Why do you
not have missionaries Jeachlng the!
heathen to be Christians and why do
you allow members of your "church"!
(?) to live a life that Is out of harmony
with the teachings of Holy Writ? Is
it true that Mrs. Eddy disowned her
own son at the age of five and gave
him to a family that moved out into
South Dakota where he lived for thirty
years during which time she had no
communication with hiin whatever?
s that the way a good Christian moth
er should treat her own son? These
and many other reasons prompt me to
defend the gospel of Jesus Christ
against such false teachings and false
living. Again, is it true that Mrs.
Eddy, after sixty years of age, made
rour million dollars out of her practice
of Christian Science as -i revealed re
ligion from God, and is it truo that a
Unitarian preacher in Boston revised
and re-wrofe her book. Health and Sci
ence and Key to the Scriptures?
These questions are not asked fig
uratively, but for answer for my own
information and the general enlighten
ment of the public.
Yours for tho cause of truth,
