EXPLAINS THE DOCTRINE

a Number of Remarkable State
ments Concerning Cures.
EXPLAINS THE DOCTRINE

ments Concerning Cures.
Read all the books on philosophy
since time began and they viii not en-
able you 10 heal one case of loComotor
ataxia in its worst form. Read all the
medical books and all other books and
you cannot, as result thereof. cure one
instance of malignant cancer. This book,
Science and Health has taught people
how TO cure hundreds of sucn cases. and
they have done it.
This was one OF the remarkable state
menus made by Edward A KimbalI, Of
Chicago, in his lecture on Christian
j Science last night before large audi
ence assembled at the National Theater.
Mr.. Kimball showed himself 70 be thor
oughly familiar with his subject and
entirely in sympathy with It's teachings
The point OF his argument in behalf of
Christian Science was that both sin and
i disease are unnatural and contrary to
the law of God and may be removed by
the application Of Christian principles
scientifically applied
AR. Kimball was introduced by former
Representative Henry NJ. Baker of New
Hampshire and a cousin Of Mrs. Eddy.
the founder OF Christian Science doc
Atrine who is the leader of the sect.
In beginning Mr.. kimball said the his
Il tory OF the world was one Of tragedy,
the only relief from tears, broken hearts.
and beds Of pain according to other
teachings being the grave. Christian
Science. he said. came with n message
OF hope and promise, it comes with the
II declaration that there IS a way out OF
trouble in life by the APPLICATION Of natu-
raj lawful scientific principles
Laws of Life.
God is not only life" said the
speaker but has ordained life. and is
the law Of life and health for man. The
theology of Christian Science is con-
sistently parallel throughout with this
declaration. It also declares that God
has created man that he might have
being. and not for the purpose Of in
ficting upon him inveterate agony and
disease.
I'VE repudiate ali assumption that His
law is the law Of sin and death. Sick
ness is contrary to God. anC God is
contrary to it. God is the natural
healer Of the sick. and is able willing.
and ever ready to save mortals from the
evils imposed upon them by an utterly
perverted sense Of existence.
Nc Unknown Coo.
III &uI4Hllan SCIENCE AD-lt Is. lEy
longer an unknown Cod No longer do
the distorted craven images Of human
thought mask or hide from as the real
God who is altogether lovely. who is
our dearest friend, whose help is ever
available whose grace is sufficient. and
who created man that he might have
life and peace. Christian Science
promises TO lead mankind to God
through the highways Of health and
life instead Of death
If insanity and sickness are real. then
God. who includes all reality must have
made them. II He made them and be-
slows or sends them. then it is sin to
Try to get well or want TO get we'll"
Mr.. Kimball argued that Christ's
healing not mystery. but came
within the range of law and scientific
modus operandi. Jesus. he said, never
intmated that His works were mys-
FERROUS. Christian Science believes, he
said, that the salvation OF Christ was
not alone for the sinner but for the
sick man also. Sin and disease. ne
said. are in immediate knship; they are
allied as cause and effect.
In It's Infancy.
Speaking OF the results accomplished
by Christian Science. Mr. Kimban
said.
THE practice Of Christian Science is
IN its infancy. No pretense is made that
such proficiency and efficiency have
been attained by practitioners as 70
preclude any failure. but already this
practice has resulted in the cure Of
practically every disease that is in
Guided in the long list Of incurabIes In
other words. Christian Science can heal
all diseases that drugs have ever
healed. and ali that drugs have never
healed; hence the Christian Scientist
conteIaplates sickness as something he
has a right TO cure and ought To be able
to cure
THE drugging system did not origi-
nate in civilized. enlightened. or
Christian age. According to its own
history u Itself il is the offspring OF
paganism. In behalf Of the druggine
theory mankind has literally swallowed
everything on earth hoping TO piacate
or obstruct disease. and IS stim sicker

The Revelation.
Asking and then answering the cues
ton why it did not come sooner. Mr..
Kimball said.
IT did come sooner. Jesus understood
the healing Christianity: declared and
demonstrated H. The people did not
fully understand Him. and He told them
they could not. but He propheticalv de-
clared the time will come when We shall
know the truth, and the truth shall
make you free Since then men have
prayed that il might be revealed and
now We believe Il has been revealed
Why did not everything come sooner
Why did not Adam have a telephone a
steamship. a piano and the thousand
other things Of today2 Simply because
ne didn't know enough
ar. ktmball concluded with "A defense
of Mrs Eddy and her work and praised
the purity u her life Her chief ambi-
ton. he said. seemed to be To battle
lor humanity against sin and disease
and 10 continue without rep -oach before
God and man.
