Mrs.Eddy escapes this blistering tax, because she owns the Christian Science canvasser, and can compel him to work for nothing.
Read the following command--not request--fulminated by Mrs.Eddy, over her signature, in the Christian Science Journal for March, 1897, and quoted by Mr.Peabody in his book.

The book referred to is Science and Health: "It shall be the duty of all Christian Scientists to circulate and to sell as many of these books as they can." That is flung at all the elect, everywhere that the sun shines, but no penalty is shaken over their heads to scare them.

The same command was issued to the members (numbering to-day twenty-five thousand) of The Mother-Church, also, but with it went a threat, of the infliction, in case of disobedience, of the most dreaded punishment that has a place in the Church's list of penalties for transgressions of Mrs.Eddy's edicts--excommunication: "If a member of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, shall fail to obey this injunction, it will render him liable to lose his membership in this Church.

MARY BAKER EDDY." It is the spirit of the Spanish Inquisition.
None but accepted and well established gods can venture an affront like that and do it with confidence.

But the human race will take anything from that class.
