The Christian Science Lee
ture.

Tuesday night at the Court
House, to a good sized audience,
Septimus J. Hanna, G. S. D., Of
Boston, Mass, lectured on Chris
tan Science. He mentioned Mrs
Eddy as the founder OF his sect, de-
claring that she possessed not only
intellectual ability Of the first wa
ter but that she had lived as pure
life as it was possible for mortal
10 live. He read the creed Of his
church, as promulgated by Mrs.
Eddy, commenting on the same,
and especially that portion Of it
which refers to "healing the sick.
This power, the speaker claimed,
as he illustrated by the miraculous
cure of Mrs. Eddy, came direct
from heaven. He used many illus
trations to demonstrate the fallacy
Of taking drugs into the stomach
when, as he claimed, most Of the
physical disorders of the body were
in fact produced by an unnatural
condition Of the mind-the inevita-
bic result Of immoral and wrong
living. That sickness is brought
upon US by the transgression Of
moral lawS-live pure lives and
you will escape physical disease.
This, in short, seems to be the
position Of the lecturer ON this
point. If all human beings were
born well, in physical sense,
coming into the world sound of
mind and body this proposition of
the distinguished gentleman might
stand very well. but such is not
the case; unfortunately the very
reverse is true for disease and early
