"Christian Science."

By Editor

WITH wonderful rapidity during the past few years have the teachings of Mrs. Mary Baker Glover Eddy spread thruout America. Those teachings are denominated "Christian Science." The "mother church" in Boston is said to number 40,000 communicants. There are probably 100,000 members in the United States alone, while many other persons believe who are not communicants.

That it performs seemingly marvelous cures is certain. There are too many evidences to deny it. Thousands have joined the cult because of this.

What is "Christian Science"? Is it truly "Christian"? What does it teach? Are the writings of Mrs. Eddy in harmony with the teachings of the Christian's Book, the Bible? What is the attitude of "Christian Science" toward creation? What about sin? respecting the fall of man? respecting the atonement? respecting the resurrection? respecting the great vital truths of Christianity?

These are important questions which the Christian should earnestly, frankly seek to decide aright. Eternal issues hang upon them. In the light which shines upon them from the Bible the soul should decide them.

To aid the reader in his study the SIGNS OF THE TIMES will present five or six articles on "Christian Science in the Light of Reason and Revelation."

In these articles the rule, the standard of Christian Scientists is set forth in their own language. Mrs. Eddy declares to us just what the faithful believe concerning the creation, the fall of man, sin and its forgiveness, miracles, material substance, prayer, the Spirit of God, heaven, etc., etc.

These will be followed by other articles bearing upon other phases of "Christian Science." The quotations from "Christian Science" sources may be easily verified, as full credit is given, and the pages cited from which they are taken.

You need to read them to become more intelligent. Your friend needs them to show him the way to life everlasting. There is no better time to subscribe for the SIGNS OF THE TIMES than right now. It is only $1.50 a year.
