 Judge septimus B. Hanna, c. s. D., of colorado, the former editor of the Christian Science Journal and stu hent of Rev. Mary Baker G. Eddy, ad- iressed a good-sized and much-inter-
 sted audience at the Hyperion theater yesterday afternoon on the subject of Christian Science" Judge Hanna was introduced by Hon. James Bishop Tn
 he following words:
 Y Ladies and Gentlemen-Every organ |zation. whether fraternal or religious. having for it's purpose the advancement br improvement of the condition of it's 'ellow men, whether mentally, physical y or morally, is entitled to respect and
 Consideration.
 We realize that we live in an age or progress, and while we would not have bur churches which are existing to-day arop their denominational character or work, yet as men of progress we appre- .iate the fact that the old lines of divis- on which formerly separated them are gradually being dissolved, and the diff kerent denominations existing in the world to-day are endeavoring to get Together upon one common platform, recognizing the fatherhood of the low Ing God and the brotherhood of His thildren, their fellow men.
 Lack of knowledge would prevent my Attempting to speak upon the subject bf Christian Science -and the same lack bf knowledge would prevent my criti- eising it; for if by lack of knowledge l ;an say nothing in commendation, the same reason would prevent my saying anything in condemnation of it. I I recognize that in this city, in the ehurch called the Christian Science Church, there are men who have been Active in public and business life have held positions of trust and importance Arld responsibility in the past and at &he present time, both in public and business life-and realizing that, al- though these men are progressive in their character and in their actions, there is a strain of conservatism in them which would prevent them en- Eiorsing or favoring any movement that they did not fully understand the prin- piples and objects of, and that their Conscience and Judgment did not ap- prove of, and for that reason I appre- plate very much the privilege that has been granted me in inviting me to be present this afternoon and introducing to this audience q gentleman who is well qualified not only to interest but Instruct you upon the subject; and without more formality take pleasure in introducing and bespeaking from you b careful attention to the Hon. $. B. Hanna, c. s. D., of Colorado.
 Judge Hanna opened his remarks with the statement that in speaking of 'the subject of Christian Science in the space, of a single discourse he could 8only touch upon it's leading phases and hint, as it were, at its teachings, it's .aims and it's purposes.
 He then spoke briefly of Mrs. Eddy sand her book, Science and Health. with Key to the Scriptures" the text book of Christian Science. After out lining the life and education of Mrs. sEddy. Judge Hanna continued: WHAT IS THE CREED OF CHRIS
 THAN SCIENCE?
 So far as Christian Science has d creed, it is found in the tenets of the 'mother church, which constitute its de- 8claration of faith. All who become smembers of this church must solemnly subscribe to these tenets. They are as Follows;
 1. As adherents of truth, we take the fnspired Word of the Bible as our suffi- 'cient guide to eternal life.
