more than this can anyone ask Those who
understand the meanings OF His words can
and do heal the sick as lie did. and the
word will be spoken with more and more
power as human thought Is prepared to re-
ceive it.
Truth Makes Rapid Progress.
We live in a period when the dawn OF
ideas takes the place Of superstition, either
religious or scientific OF what avail Is
1t to know what the person Of God Is, or
the person Of man, for that mattcr-whou
the all-important consideration is, what is
the mind and character OF God, and does
man reflect this?
Tho truth taught in Christian Science is
rapidly revUlutioniziug everything In hu
man existence. II is separating the Chaf
from the wheat in religion, science and art
and in all great reformatory methods. IL
Is spreading over the entire globe, its sim
plcity and profoundncss meeting alike the
needs of the wise and the iguorant--for
it reveals the new heavens and the new
earth, wherein dweleth righteousness"
That so many countcrfeits have sprung up
in its name Is but proof OF its excellence.
But the true literature OF Christian Sci
once is so far above human opinion that
we find in 1t the fulhllment Of all the gem
uine aspirations of human thought toward
God Good.
The lecturer was told some years ago by
gentleman who was at one time pro-
fessor at Harvard that when Wendell Phil
lips began to denOunCe the evils OF slavery
in Boston people did not consider it even
respectable to attend his lectures and
lady said to the professor that If she knew
of an evening lecture she might attend
wearing a thick vei-so that no one would
recognize her. The time soon came when
all were proud to listen to this great apostle
of human liberty and rights wherever and
whenever he spoke. Today Christian Sci
ence knocks at your doors, demanding free
dom for all Gods children, freedom from
the degrading bondage of sin and sickness
and the fear of death. 1t demands in the
name of Almighty God that all restrictions
be removed which hinder this great end,
be they social, political or religious. Those
who are clear sighted in all of the learned
professions admit the Justice of this demand
and are ready to accept all that lies within
their power or the universal good.
The great woman poet of this century.
Mrs. Browning has given what is almost
u prophecy of the Christian Science move
ment in these lines:
"And with teachings of thought we reach
down to the deeps
OF the souls of our brothers.
And teach them full words with our slow
moving lips,
God, Liberty, Truth, which they hearken
and think
And work into harmony, link upon link,
While the silver meets round the earth
geld and dense,
Shedding sparks of electric respondence in
tense
On the dark of eclipse,
And we hear through the silence and glory
afar,
AS from shores of star in Aphelion,
The new generations which cry
Disenthralled by our voice to harmonius
reply:
God Liberty Truth
We are glorious forsooth,
And our name has seat though the shroud
should be donned,
O. Life, o, Beyond, thou art strange, thou
art sweet -
