AN ADDRESS ON
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
IConcluded from Page 81


tlan Science shows that our thought,
having been resurreCted, we joyfully
yield ourselves in order that God be in
all our thoughts.
II IS Jealous Science. "God redeemed
us from all iniquity and purified unto
himself n peculiar people, Jealous OIL
good works" once we believed that
zeal would prove our standing with
God. Christian Science shows that be-
cause redeemed, purified and separated
10 God, His service would be the de-
lightful outcome.
The Bible thus demonstrates the
practical excellence of Christian Sci
enCe, not only i'm the foregoing alpha
bet, If | may call ii such. but in these
glowing words of Jesus. as potent now
as when uttered nineteen centuries ago:
81. IL be lifted up from the earth. VIII
draw all men unto me. He Is the
Way to God. the Truth of God, and the
Life in God. ana mono can possibly
come To God but by Him. Therefore
Truth could submit it's Embodiment to
he buffetod. aud even to bc CruCified,
conscious that men could not destroy
Him. the manifestation of the Fathers S
Love. So We may submit that which
is mortal To he CruCiiied by Truth. 1t
will not annihilate, but Will uDlift us.
The stormy elements of time and sense
IN their conflict result only in the Clari-
Tying of our perceptions of this uplift-
ing Principle" 1t is not We who uplitt
ourselves. IT is that We rest. poised,
on the understanding of God. with faces
rct like a flint. Tonward. As once when

the Christian Scientist calmly rests up
un the understanding that he is spirit
nal now. Amid the storm of error. he
rests, poised. conscious that tn" tCSti-

the fact ii follows that Christian Sci
cncc is the antpOdc of mesmerism or
hypnOtiSm.
The important announcement was
made by DR.. Frank J. Lutz. former
president Of the state board of health
Of Missouri that "hnNnotism is the
cause of many people becoming in
sane" DR.. LutZ says that the effect of
hypnotism upon the nerves of the per-
son submitting to a hypnotic test is a
great deal worse than the result of in
CesSant smoking, and even of the drink
ing Of absinthe. Or f.. c. Spitzk, the
specialist, says: Il feel called upon to
say that after extensive personal OBJ
SerNation and much study, | am firmly
convinced that whatever amount of
good may come from hypnotism is off
set by the amount of harm which comes
out of its use in medicine"
while DR.. c. SternhorE closes AN able
article on the subject of Insanity
Caused by Hypnutism. with these tell
ing words: Il am convinced that if
the bare truth could he generally
learned, the startling fact would come
to light that the insane aSylums con-
tain great number of inmates who
would never have reached their portals
mad they not been started on the route
by the use of hypnotism'
