THE CHRISTIAN CHARACTER OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

From the September 1887 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The clergy of Denver, Colorado, recently discussed Christian Science, at their regular professional meeting. Rev. R. T. Cross presided, in the absence of Dean Hart, the President. Rev. W. D. Westervelt opened the discussion. He admitted that there might be cures through Christian Science, but these he attributed to the influence of mind over matter. In opposing this system he read extracts from various works, particularly from the authoritative book of Rev. M. B. G. Eddy. He endeavored to show three main defects:

1. That the system is Scientifically False, being only a reiteration of Berkeley's Idealism.

2. That the system is False in Religion, being Pantheistic in its views, and denying the Atonement, as well as the Essential Divinity of the Saviour.
