Questions Answered

From the April 1887 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Emma Hopkins tells her students that Mrs. Eddy teaches mesmerism. Is that true?

If one half of what I hear of Mrs. Hopkins's teaching on the subject of Christian Science is correct, she is deluding the minds she claims to instruct. She took a Primary Course at my College, but was not permitted to go farther. She never entered my Normal Class, is not qualified to teach Christian Science, and is incapable of teaching it.

My students are instructed that mesmerism is not Science, but the opposite of Christian Science, and no Scientist can teach or practise it.
