consciousness, and that all sensible phenomena are merely subjective states
of mortal mind.

Theosophy is a corruption of Judaism. This corruption had a renewal in the
Neoplatonic philosophy; but it sprang from the Oriental philosophy of
Brahmanism, and blends with its magic and enchantments. Theosophy is no
more allied to Christian Science than the odor of the upas-tree is to the
sweet breath of springtide, or the brilliant coruscations of the northern
sky are to solar heat and light.




IS CHRISTIAN SCIENCE FROM BENEATH, AND NOT FROM ABOVE?


Hear the words of our Master: "Go ye into all the world"! "Heal the sick,
cast out devils"! Christian Scientists, perhaps more than any other
religious sect, are obeying these commands; and the injunctions are not
confined to Jesus' students in that age, but they extend to this age,--to
as many as shall believe on him. The demand and example of Jesus were not
from beneath. Are frozen dogmas, persistent persecution, and the doctrine
of eternal damnation, from above? Are the dews of divine Truth, falling on
the sick and sinner, to heal them, from beneath? "By their fruits ye shall
know them."
