and chills we answer nothing but an effect produced upon the body by images of disease before the spiritual senses. Therefore you must say of heat & chill you are not hot you are not cold you are only the effect of fright there is no such thing as heat and cold if there were you would not grow hot when angry or abashed or frightened and the temperature around not changed in the least.

Inflamation is not inflamation or redness and soreness of any part this is your belief only and this belief is the red dragon the king of beasts which means this belief of inflamation is the leading lie out of which you get your fright that causes chills & heat. Now lookit down cause your patient to look at this truth with you call upon their spiritual senses to look with your view which sees no such image and thus waken them out of their dream that is causing them so much suffering Say to them the truth is there is no such thing as substance in a belief your matter body is a belief only hence it is not substance and your spine is a belief only that is but the teachings of man a belief called anatomy Christ held his person all the same when his body was burried and could pass through matter and walk over it with this body but could have no pain or inflamation in it because he was not in matter and never believed his spine was a bone that could be inflamed or that nerves were nerves that could pain you There can be no heat soreness or pain in this truth but in the belief that your body is substance is embraced the whole error of sickness and death. You can take no heat from patients or pupils because they have none and you must not take their error when you know this is all that is named heat. There are no

conditions of matter because there is no such thing as matter Soul is substance the body is its idea or shadow but you believeing the body substance instead of soul make that your master and this lie is what does all the mischief. Now awake from this delusion and hold yourself the master over all these errors and you can destroy them by loosing your fear that nerves, backbone, inflamation etc. are matter and matter substance you are to take up the belief that cold or heat can harm them, and prove this a belief and delusion; also that care or exercise, air, or the indoor life can affect them one particle that no disease can be hereditary, because there is no such thing created by God, and man never created man, nothing but a principle can create and a principle has all substance and life in itself, and this is the soul, the body of this soul is the idea of this principle and the shadow of substance Now this man in science cannot suffer for no pain is in shadow, and no inharmony in a principle unerring and immortal, because it is truth the pain is your belief and this belief is your error that this truth destroys as by a cemical change, say, there are no laws in wisdom for wisdom fuffills all law in love therefore there are no laws because matter has no wisdom or intelligence so you have broken no law in matter call them away from the belief of pain or pleasure in matter, awaken them from this dream of error by the truth that happiness is in the soul, and if your patient is licentious this is the argument to destroy this error."

And in this wonderful appendix there is more of the same sort, but enough of it, for such nonsense is nauseating. Our proposition is, Mrs. Eddy borrowed practically all her ideas from Dr. Quimby-without giving

him any kind of credit. Her friend and confidential counselor, the Rev. Mr. Wiggin, testifies most emphatically that such is the case. But Mrs. Eddy is our very best witness against herself, and it is her own testimony that enables us with the confidence of absolute assurance to close this chapter with the aforementioned letters Q. E. D.

MRS. EDDY

AND CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

Voltaire has said that the Holy Roman Empire was so called because it was not holy and not Roman and was not an empire! I was once driving with a friend, a lawyer and a very quick-witted man, through one of the many additions to the largest city in one of our southern states. I wondered at the name given this new suburb, and at last my curiosity asserted itself and I said, "Stevenson, why in the world have they called this addition 'Grand View?" Promptly and emphatically the reply came, "Why, because you can't see anything here."

The unthinking will not wonder, because they do not think, but unprejudiced and thinking people do wonder, because they are uninitiated and therefore uninformed, why Mrs. Eddy ever named her "science, falsely so-called," Christian Science. It is very simple. She called it so because this is the name she found in Dr. Quimby's manuscripts. If you push the inquiry a step further back and ask why Dr. Quimby called it by this name, the answer is not so easy nor the reason so clear. While it is perfectly certain that he never dreamed of making a religion of his system of mental treatment, still it is almost as clear that, after some kind of indefinite and hazy fashion, he did connect his healing power with the Christ of the New Testament, and therefore as early as 1859, called his science of healing, his philosophy of life and disease, the "Science of Health," the "Science of Christ," and "Christian Science." The name caught her, and she
