tan Science church, to q house crowd
ed to overlooking on Facts and Fic-
tions About Christian Science" Mr..
Kimbail said in part. that he had not
come to talk of Christian Science as a
Sectarianisnl, Tor 10 hold il out as a
curative agent, Notwithstanding the
well known fact that it had bean. the
means of doing wonders in that way.
He had GENE to proclaim Christian
Science as a remedy for the evils and
sins of humanity. Through the gloom
in all ages a glimmer of hope of some
thing better in the future shone forth,
and humanity had a great yearning
FOR larger enlightenment q broader
understanding of God. IL was the
common talk of humanity that the
mysteries beyond the veil are unknow-
able, but that after death all shall be
revealed. There is q good deal of error
in this, because the mysteries of God
can to at least same degree be under
stood here. Benjamin Franklin, 100
years ago, wrote regretting that ne
had been born so soon and that he
could not even ina CINE the heights TO
which man might rise within the next
thousand years in new discoveries of
truth. Franklin believed that the time
would come when disease could be
prevented or cured and life prolonged
at will.
SCIENCE OF MIND.
The science of mind is the great
factor which will bring about the con-
ditions which Franklin predicted. The
world is in a state of conflict and con-
fusion, it was so nineteen centuries
ago when Christ came and then it was
STEPPED in wickedness and sin. To
Christian Scientists the coming of
Christ was the most sublime incident
in the worlds history and his life is
their ever present guide. Humanity.
He found in a mire of sin and he
showed the way by which it can DE
lifted out. He was the divine Son of
the divine Father. and possessed super
human powers and attributes. The
Father, Christian Scientists believed to
be the one supreme, individual God,
the creator, a self-existent spirit, whose
will it was the nilsson of the son to
do. In pursuance. of this mission he
healed the sick, raised the dead and
overcame evil in whatsoever form
found.
HEALING ONLY AN INCIDENT.
He reformed sinners, healed the sick
and taught his disciples to do the same,
but healing was only an incident of
his mission. He had miraculous power
which was not vested in others, but
in the few years he spent on earth and
in benefting a. few sick folks, neither
did he perform his. cures and other
miracles for the immediate effect alone
it had on those around him, neither
were his works done in contravention
of the eternal laws of God, but were
in conformity with them, and the
similar things that are done today by
Christian Scientists are also in con-

was the discoverer of Christian
Science, which is the exponent of the
works OK Christ.
PAGAN PRIESTS INTRODUCED
MEDICINE.
Medicine. the lecturer said was in
troduced 1000 years ago by pagan
priests to enable them to obtain larger
control over the people Christ used no
medicines. 1t was the mind, the divine
intelligence in him which enabled him
to do the things which he did. The
science of medicine has been constantly
changing for 1000 years. Things that
were practical as cures in times gone
by are laughed at now, and new and So
called improved methods are in vogue.
Yet there are more diseases in the
world now than ever before and a
larger proportion of the human race is
contaminated by disease, and the world
is on lower plain physically now
than ever before.
The reason for this is that medicine
reacts and undoes itself. The effect
produced by it upon the body is fol-
lowed by a corresponding amount OF re-
action A house divided against itself
cannot stand.
EVIL THOUGHTS CREATE EVIL.
All wars, strife and carnage, all the
vast array of evil is the result of evil
thoughts. All concerns and enter
prises of man are the result of thought.
The very presence of humanity on
earth is the result of thought. Without
thought man would be a nonentity.
Christian Science discovered that evil
thoughts will make men sick, that
mind rightly directed. that mind which
was in Christ, can heal the sick.
Mr. Kimball here cited instances of
wonderful cures effected by Christian
Scientists.
Sin produces sickness and death, but
we should be thankful that we live in
an age of divine metaphysics, which
exemplifieS the mind that was in Jesus
Christ.
WOMEN IN THE MAJORITY.
More women. then men are Christian
Scientists, because their need is greater,
their sunerings are greater and they
came to obtain relief. And it is well
that they do come, for from the moth
ers the children inherit physical all
ments, and when women more thor
oughly understand Christian Science it
will be their deliverance, and the result
will be a changed and improved race of
men and women
There i no desirable effect that can
be produced by medicine, said Mr..
KimbaI, that cannot be produced by
mind, and many good effects can be
produced by mind which cannot be OBJ
tanned by the use of medicine.
IN ITS INFANCY.
Christian Science is just in it's in
fancy. and some failures 90 occur, but
since Christian Science was invented,
Is years ago, not 100 have died under it's
while in Chicago alone 400
die every week under medical treat
ment. Most of the cases. the lecturer
said, in which Christian Science had
failed were cases in which the patients
were almost dead before the Christian
Science treatment was adopted.
The science is spreading, and 5000
cases a day are treated in Chicago, and
there are thousands upon thousands
who can say that Christian Science has
improved them, morally, physically and
spiritually. Christian Science is usher
ing in the time when there shall be no
more death, neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain,
for the former things are passed
away"
