Il want to, IL possible, remove from
ycur minds the prevailing prejudice Of
the old churches against Christian Sci
ence, growing, perhaps not unnatur-
ally. out OF their ignorance OF the sub

ious belief and practice upon which the
old churches and Christian Scientists
are Ia perfect accord.

MRS. EDDY'S WORK.
May / new briefly tell you some.
thing OF fiwhat Christian Science is, in
hope that upon reflection and investi.
cation, we may also agree upon the es-
sentialssof Christ's religion as Chris
tian Scientists understand, believe, anC
practice it2
Christian Science was discovered
and revealed to the world some thirt,
odd years ago by Rev. Mary Baker
Eddy, native of New Hampshire
and now a resident Of Concord, in tina
state The whole philosophy and prac
tice Of Christian Science is publishe,
to the world in Mrs Eddys book en-
titled Science and Health. With Ke,
to the Scriptures. The latter part o
the tile, With Key to the Scriptures
OF this marvellous book is very signifi
cant, for a great value in Mrs. Eddy,
work is found in the light she ha
thrown upon the real, reasonable an,
"oic uSohAh6 VI the t1Ol
Scriptures.
POWER OF GOD TO HEAL.
The older Christian churches urg
as an objection against what they con
ceive Christian Science to be that It
sheer impiety for any person to assel
that he is clothed with the powe
OF God TO heal the sick The strikin
weakness Of this objection is thatChris
ton Scientists do not profess any sue
thing. AS il was in the time of Jesu
so now the power that heals the sic
Is the power Of God.
If, as Christian religionists, you bl
lieve that God by the word of H
power created all, you must beliel
that He has the power to kee
His creature. man, in the image
which he was created, free from sorroN
sickness and suffering, as well as fro
sin; you must believe that He WI
fashioned the eye and the ear, al
strung to exquisite harmony what "
call the marvellous association Of HI
man nerves, has the power to remoN
a film from the eye He created, or
thickness from the drum Of the ear I
made.
