r -In a recent issue of JOur pape
11 there appeared a long review al1l
Ii criticism of Judge Ewing's lee
t ture on Christian Science.
Before answering the objection
raised by our critic 1 shall sc
I. out some of the admissions mad
) ' by him. 'l'he criticism admit
' - that "God docs uot malte us blin ,
e lame , halt or deceased , " and tha
- it is the will of God that non
n should perish , and that healini
.t was done without medicine i
d Bible times , and that the powc
I to do such healing was not i
l- man but in GOII. Admit tlw
l- God has t he same power to he :
e that he always hud. Adm i
e the power of praycr , and thiJ
: s prayers are answered when t1 (
o inconsistent with God's will.
Y "Not by reversin His tliV lI
: t decrces but hy application (
- some divine law , "and that \1'11
n laws of God arc immutable. "
l- All Christian Scientists wi
e concur with our critic that God
Ir laws are immutable. He belicvI
n howeyer that God call chan {

His immutable lawsJ.ud : h sems ! , .
to thinlc that Christ cither changed -
ed or somehow suspended or
suspended these immutable laws
when he performed his works of
healing , and he supposes that
Christian Scicntists arc praying
to Gud to change the laws of
nature and effcct immediate
cures.
Coming to the rcscue of our
brother from this confusion of
thought , Christian Science dc-
clares that God's laws are really
immutable ; hence we never ask
God to change lIis laws , nor do
we believe that Jeus ! : : ever prayed
for such an impossibility. The
definition of i1Um u table is unchangeable -
changeable , so that if God were
to change one of His laws , that
law could never have been immutable -
table , but was a mutable law.
even God then cannot change an
immutable law. The immutable
laws of God , therefore , are those
laws which arc eternally and
universa11y the same in their
operation and effect. Such is
the law that Christ Jesus came
not to destroy , "but to fulfil. "
'Vhat then did Christ Jesus
destroy ? Thc Bible answers ex-
plicitly' "the works of the devil , "
ami hc overcamc sin , disease and
death ; and having "abolished
death brought life and immortality -
tality to light through t11 ( gospel -
pel " 11 ' ! 'im. 1 :10. : ' 1'hat through
( the abolition of ) death "he
might destroy him that had the
power of death , that is thc dcvil :
1 and deliver them who through
I fear for death were all thcir
lifetime subject to bondage. "
lIeb. 2:1-1-15. : And so Paul says ,
r "The law of the Spirit of life in
l Christ Jesus hath made me free
from the law of sin and death. "
In this verse the inl111utabe ] law
of eternal IAfe is contrasted with
I the mutable law Qf sin and death.
. 'l'herefore the law of sin and
. death cannot be thc law of God ,
! for as our critic admits , God's
, laws arc immutable. And so in
the "New heaven and new carth"
. wherein d welleth righ teousness
- , HId 0 bedience to t he law of God ,
"there sha11 be no more death ,
- neither sorrow , nor crying , neither -
- ther shall there be any more pain
1 for the formcr things are passed
away. "
'l'he Biblc declares that by
r man came sin , and death , ( the
- culmination of desease ) by sin.
r Sin is lawlessness , or transgression -
, sion by omiltsion or commission
- of God's law , and such disobedience -
ence may be either ignorant or
- wilful. If you delinc a miracle
as a work donc by suspending ,
supervening or breateing an im.
e mutable law of God , then l'\'ery
such miracle would be a sin , and
evcn Jesus would have been
law-breaker had he performed
such a miracle. But all of m
agree that he was without sin ,
and that he fulfilled the law ;
hence his works of healing l11us1
' - have been done by the applica.
II tion of immutable law.

days after his dcath. We have
called him the greatest Lawyer ,
we now see that he was the greatest -
est law-beaker of meterial laws
that ever lived. 'Ve conclude
then that the so-called natural
or material laws arc not thc laws
of God , but are mcrel ) ' tcmporal
theories and hypotheses of men ,
and will SOlpC clay be as obsolete
as thc ancient1aw of the universe
that the sun revolved around the
earth.
Sin is lawessncss ] , or the transgression -
gression of the law of God. Our
critic says that the mctcrial laws
of nature are GOII's laws ; his argument -
ument runs as follows : " 'Ve violate -
elate a law of nature and we suffer -
fer the consequences. Pour on
your Hesh boiling water and the , .
penalty is inevitahle. Apply the.
medicinal remedies and the healing -
ing process of nature is increased.
'l hese are God' : ) laws. 'rhe offender -
fender is the sufferer. Refuse to
apply the remedies and the healing -
ing process is prolonged. "
'rhe answer to this is that the
1\1 aster refused to apply the medicinal -
icinal remedies of the Jews , but
thc hcaling was instantaneous.
So then , if God's law requires
the application of medicinal remedies -
edies , our Saviour was a lawbreaker -
breaker in refusing to apply such
remedies.
Now let us compare the sinner
with the suffercr. Both arc law-
breakers. 'l'he sinner is jUte offender -
fender , because he is a wilful
law-breaker. 'L'hc sufferer may
ha\'e ignorantly or accidentally
broken somc so-call d law of
nature. Perhaps hc was rescuing -
ing a little child from a burning
building , and got badly burnt
himself. Now as I understand
thc orthodox religion the vilest
sinncr may be savcd from sin ,
and bc 'pardoned ' , forgiven and
regcnerated. But when the suf-
fcrer would come unto the same
li\'ing God and His Christ for
health , a sulTerer who may be a
dcvote mcmber of the church ,
our critic would sa.y : "Pray
that you may : have grace to bear
) 'our atllictions "and that his sunlight -
light of happiness may shine in I
on your sou1. "
If this be the case , the suffering -
ing believer is worsc off than the
hard-hearted si nncr , Cor God
will sa\'e from sin , but the suf.
ferer must turn to medicinal rem-
cdies , although it is admitted by
the doctors that man ) ' diseases
arc incurable by mcdicinc. So
then thc sinner is received and
recolllmended to the mcrcy 01
God , but the sufferer is sen1
away from thc power of thc Spire
it to the arm and art of man , and
from the divine Mind to the
material medicincs. Yet whel :
Jesus walked the earth hc healed
all manner of diseases by the
application of God's law , am :
whoevcr understands the immut.
able law of life and health wiI
again pro\'e that no diseases an :
incurable. Ii'or it is the samt
Lord "Who forgiveth all thine
iniquities , who healeth all thy
diseases. "
Healing then is included in tIt (
work of salvation. 'VllOn enc !
funy saved one is also "ever , )
wit whole. " Healing is thc sigr
that the son of man hath powel
ou earth to forgive sins , 1'01
when error , thc cause of sick ,
is corrected and removel

The use of such a legical word
as sign implies that health
should inevitably result from salvation -
vation , just as the answer to a
problcm in mathcmatics is the
sign of perfect work.
Our critic is not consistent.
lIe thinkH that the healing done
by the disciples was by special
commission of divine power to
prove to the Jews that Jesus was
the Messiah. I-4ater on H says
that the prayers of the prophets
were answered "Not by rcvers-
ing His divine decrees but by the
appiication of some divine law. "
He admits that the application
of a divine law healed the sick in
Old 'rcstameut timcs , and again
the says that God's laws are im-
mutablc ; hence when we understand -
stand and apply the same divine
law that the prophets applied ,
healing will inevitably result.
Christian Science cxplains the
law of God as found in the Bible ,
and teaches men to obey the
divine law implicitly , and to
overcome the evil laws of sin am }
disease with the law of Life and
righ teousness. 'rhe healing
power of 'rruth is not a miracle
to them that know and practise
the law of Life demonstrated by
Christ Jesus , but such healing
secms incredible to strangers to
the law. 'rhe Biule in recording
cases of healing calls them "mir-
acles , " "signs , " and works. "
Men said they were miracles , but
from the point of view of the
Master and the disciples they
were signs and works. And so
the Savior said : "lIe thai : be-
lie\'eth on me , the wor1 < s that I
do shall he do also ; and greater
works than these shall he do ; because -
cause I go unto my Father. "
The Father is Spirit , and the
Master meant that whcn absent
from the body and its limitations ,
in space and otherwi c , but pres-
cnt in Spirit , lIe could do greater
works through his followers.
Greater not in kind , but in infinite -
ite number and extent. And so
Jesus then worked in Palestine ,
but now the Christ is healing
men in America and the other
continents. For" Lo , I am with I

ut' critic argues that the only
reason for miracles was to prove
the divinity of the Messiah. But
before he gets through he cites
sc\'eral Old 'festamcnt mirac1ci ! ,
which surely were not intcnded
to prove that Jesus was the Mes-
siah. The critic is trying to
. .
show by the Old Testamcnt mir- , )
. . .
ac1es that agcs beforc Christian , :
Science was heard of the powcr
of doing these mighty works ex-
isted. But while these examples

I'
power in the early history of 15- f' .
rael do away with the theory
that such works were ouly intended - :
tended to convince Ute Jews what i '
Jesus was the Messiah ; yet these ,
"
' ' demonstrations
Old 'l'estamcut
are corroborative of the teaching
of Christian Science , that all t '
that the world calls miracles are
really signs or works accomplished -
ed by application of the eternal
law of Life and health. If Bible .
and Church history show that ;
works of healing were done
both before and after the brief t
1111).l
ministry of the Master , and this
is the record , theu such works
cannot rightl. > , ue called special
dispcnsations of Providence , but
they arc rather the divinely
natural results or demonstrations
of the immutable law of God.
To explain the example given .
by our critic as to "pouring L . I
boiling water on yonr Hesh. " we ;
would say tlmt the "penalty"
can be removcd by Christian
Science. , Just a few days ago a
lady telephoned for help who
had scalded her arm badly with
boiling water. In a few minutes -
utes the pain was entirely destroyed - ,
troyed and there were no signs \
such as blistering or swelling to I
show whcre the arm was scalded.

Science can testify to similar
demonstrations. And the three . . . . . . . . . " - .
