Rev. Arthur G. Vosburgh. c. S. B., OF
hochester. N. Y. addressed large au-
dlence at the Metropolitan theater yes
terday afternoon with his subject Chris

OF the things which had been accom-
piished in Christian science and OF the
Rev. Mr.. Vosburgh is a lecturer of the
First Church OF Christ, scientist, Bos-
ton. He was introduced by Representa-
tive George E. Perley OF Moorhead. and
spoke at some length. In the course of
his remarks he said:
Christian science Is a very recent
movement. as it has come to the world
in these latter days. While it is entirely
and fully exemplified in the words and
works OF Jesus. yet it's understanding In
modern times is through new discovery
of this new-old truth. This discovery
came through a spiritual healing which
occurred in Lynn, Mass. In 1866 and in
this recovery from what. to all human re-
source, was a fatal injury the portals OF
the unseen swung open. and a realm OF
spiritual possibility was revealed.
Christian scientists then. look to Mrs.
Mary Baker Eddy with confidence. graft
tude and love. for the good that has come
to them through her teaching and work.
l need not affront the intelligence of this
audience by deeming il necessary to en-
phasize that Christian scientists do not
in any wise defy Mrs. Eddy. they do not
worship her personality, they do not in
any wise accord her divine honorS. they
do not regard her as another Christ They
simply accord to her the honor and conf
dence and love that are her need as the
discoverer of Christian science: and as
being today the logical. fitting and neces-
Sary leader of the movement that is car
rying on its work.
Now Christian scientists have reached
the full conviction that this teaching and
this movement that is revolutionizing hu-
man thought. that has carried its mes
sage to the four corners of the earth and
the isles of the sea. Is simply a revival
of primitive Christianity. and is to usher
in the kingdom of God that was pro-
claimed and promised by Jesus.
This kingdom Jesus later instructed
his disciples is the kingdom of God which
is within you. and so this kingdom of God
Is spiritual kingdom that is to be estab-
liShed here and now, kingdom that Je-
Sus and his followers ushered In by their
assurance that the full and final estab-
lishment of this kingdom will destroy all
evil, will Danish all sorrow, sin. sickness
and death, and will finally bring to light a
new heaven and a new earth, wherein
dwelleth righteousness. Such a kingdom
truth which will bring its demonstration
was the Masters idealism.
