10/15 I quote from Mr.Peabody's book (Eddyism, or Christian Science. Boston: 15 Court Square, price twenty-five cents): "Speaking of this book, Mrs.Eddy, in January last (1901) said: 'I should blush to write of Science and Health, with Key to the Scriptures, as I have, were it of human origin, and I, apart from God, its author; but as I was only a scribe echoing the harmonies of Heaven in divine metaphysics, I cannot be supermodest of the Christian Science text-book."' Mr.Peabody's comment: "Nothing could be plainer than that. Here is a distinct avowal that the book entitled Science and Health was the work of Almighty God." It does seem to amount to that. She was only a "scribe." Confound the word, it is just a confusion, it has no determinable meaning there, it leaves us in the air. |
