George's Weekly

Some of our Presbyterian brethren have become unduly excited over what they are pleased to call "the heresies of Christian Science."

Just why this should be it is difficult to understand, since both their beliefs are based upon the same premises — the divinity of Christ — with Mrs. Eddy's position, from a logical standpoint, considerably in the lead. Mrs. Eddy maintains that the creator is a God of love — that nothing but what is "good" could have been created by Him, that things that are bad are but the creations of (or projections from) mortal mind.

Our friends who ascribe these heresies to the work of the devil, maintain that the creator is not only a God of love, but one of hatred and revenge; one whose wrath is so awful that none shall escape unless he believe in their special dogmas. In other words, the chief difference between the creator and man is His omnipotence — His infinite power.
