The Religio-Medical Masquerade: A Complete Exposure of Christian Science
Peabody, Frederick William
Christian Science -- Controversial literature
Is it possible for any decent person, man or woman, to peruse
this book and then acknowledge himself or herself a disciple of
Mary Baker G. Eddy? Is it conceivable that any sane man or woman,
with full knowledge of the facts of her life, can honestly
profess belief in her disgusting imposture? Can any one who
feels, as I do, that Jesus is the common glory of all who bear a
human heart, without resentment and without anger witness the
endeavor of this vulgar creature to place herself by His side?
Can any devout Christian have any other feeling than one of
abhorrence for the blasphemous woman and the bunco game she dares
to say is “authorized by Christ”?
If I have made good, if I have accomplished what I set out to
accomplish, I ask every man and every woman who reads this book
to lose no opportunity to show this hateful thing, miscalled
Christian Science, in its true light to those with whom they come
in contact. Let it have no quarter. Hit it every time you have a
chance and hit it as hard as you can. It is not entitled to
respectful treatment. Nothing is more _impossible_ than to love
Jesus, even a little, and to have the slightest, the very
_slightest_, tolerance for Mrs. Eddy and her frauds.
A Christian Science speaker recently, in a suburb of Boston, in
concluding an address exhorted her hearers to “follow Mrs. Eddy,
as Mrs. Eddy follows the Saviour.” Not follow the Saviour, but
follow Mrs. Eddy in Mrs. Eddy’s way of following the Saviour.
As Mrs. Eddy follows the Saviour.
