WOODS DISCUSSES THE GOSPEL OF MARK The second lecture in a course on the four gospels was delivered last night at the First Baptist Church by the pastor, Rev. E. A. Woods, D.D. In part he spoke as follows: Last Sunday the first gospel as written by a Hebrew, language epoken by them, and that pose was to show that Jesus Christ w Messiah of the Old Testament. It Is the gos- pel of fulfillment.

Dr. | Moreland began is sermon by quoting from the Bible, “The Lord has created medicines out of the earth, and he that is wise will not abhor them.” “The Lord has created plants, vegeta- | : aid Dr. Moreland, “and | m with certain curative d men skilled in chemistry endow and ill health, but we should not neglect the material means he has placed at our disposal for the recovery of health. One of the mistakes of Christian Sci- ence is that its neglect of the means cre- ated by an all-wise Providence is not a | mark of faith, but rather a mark of pre- sumption and folly. We pray God to give us our daily bread. but we do not sit dly by until the food i$ thrust in at our door. Human effort should always go with the power of the Almighty. God and man should always work together. “When the child is il we pray God for its restoration, and glorify Christ by the true prayer of faith, but we do not reject all medicine. We should not expect the child to be cured by a miracle. “The Christian Science way is not the Christlan way.. It is a part of faith to employ the skill of a physician and the nurse and medicine, and in doing so we are not guilty of any lack of faith or true religion. It s an awful presumption for the creature to say to God, ou must cure my child.’ The scripture itself teach- es us to make use of the material means and the Lord himself used loaves and fishes to feed the muititude, and the nat- ural elements, bread and wine, are util- ized in_conveying his risen life to man- kind. God has dwelt providentially with us in glving to us human agencies to ac- complish his will. He can perform mira- cles, but we should not expect miracles when we discard ordinary means. “I do not wish to say one harsh or un- kind word against Christian Sclence. I have.a sympathetic recognition for the truth it contains, but I cannot close my eyes to the dangers and errors accom- panying it. There are good things in Christian Science. It has undoubtedly made cures, and on many occasions peo. ple have escaped suffering under its. in- fluence, and it has restored the sense of | God to many. “In _these days, when people are ob- sorbed in making money and the mind is almost irresistibly drawn to materialism, there have been many efforts in opposi- tion. The materialist says there is no spirit, but all is matter. The Christian Bcientist says there is no such thing as matter, all is spirit. These efforts em- phasize the spiritual realities of lire, but they are not well balanced and cannot last. They eventually lose strength and are split Into fragmer®®. Christian Science teaches that disorders of the body spring out of disorders of the soul. This prin- ciple Is earnestly carried out in Christian Sclence, which occuples the mind with kindness, piety and love, and only with these can you be a well man, “I would like to dwell on this side, but there is another. The cures done by Christian Science have been paralleled by many systems of metaphysical healing. ']‘h(‘g" have been produced by the shrines of the Roman Catholics, the Indian med- icine men, the soothsayers of the East, the Hindoo fakirs and by all creeds and nationalities, therefore the good of Chris- tian Science is not nrl%nal with itself. As a religion, it has not borrowed enough of the Christian faith to keep it alive. ““The other side tells of the harm it has done and the dangers accompanying it. The denial of the personality of God is a fatal error and neutralizes all the truths it teaches. We have been taught that God is more than man; he is a being divine and exalted, and the impersonal principle of Christian Sclence disappoints our af- fections and robs us of our father. Chris- tian Science not only contradicts the Christian doctrine of the incarnation, but denies that God is a_person, “Again, Christian Sclence fails to notice the providential' purpose of pain in_ the world, which causes the sufferer to reign triumphant in the strength of Jesus oru- cified. Christian Science often inspires in its converts an unholy sense of superior- ity, which is assumed in the house and among friends. Aside from the hurt it does to character, it confuses the reason of man to teach him there is no_ such thing as pain. It urges Mrs. Eddy's knowledge of anatomy against the under- stood laws of health.” Dietary exerclse is of no consequence as compared with Ed- dy’s writings at $3 a volume. ““The intention of Christian Science is excellent, but it 15 a_eruel wrong"to:de- prive an Invalid, especially a child, of the stored up riches of medical science which have been accumulating like a reservoir of mercies.

F. W. Gale, “chief reader” of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, while not sur- prised at the opposition of Bishop More- land to the teachings of Christian Seci- ence, claims that all the bishop gave ut- terance to was incorrect and mot founded on good reason. “We have scripture, the gospel and Je- sus on our side,” he said yesterday. “You cannot cite an instance where Christ em- ployed drugs to work a cure. It was by | truth that He healed and the teaching of it. The assertion that we are not Chris- tian in spirit is untrue. It all depends {s. We follow religiously the early teach- ings of the faith. “Results speak for themselves. Not long ago at a big meeting in Boston those who were cured by Christian Science were asked to rise. There were 3000 present, and a great mass rose to their feet. T attack on the book ‘Science and Health’ may be answered by an actual occurrence at the same meeting. It was asked how many were cured by the reading of the book and 300 people arose. Of course the mere purchase of the book will not effect a cure; it is the reading of it.” India-rubber heels are to be attached to the shoes worn by French soldiers. 1t is claimed that they decrease the fa- tigue of marching.
