President Of the Montgomery Library Associa- tion MT. Coleman said that the speaker had come to Montgomery by invitation of some of the best citizens. MT. Coleman could not say that he professed a belief in Christian Science but he was in sympathy with its ex- ponents in their Humanitarian purpose. Judge Hanna in the beginning rep- resented to his hearers that he did not wish to be recognized as an extraor- oinary person but rather ordinary. The science which he stands for is eloquent enough. he said. and he would be sat- isfied to set out clearly the tenets of the true Christian scientist.
 The speaker paid a tribute to the character and work of Rev. Mary Ba- ker G. Eddy. the author of "Scienca ana Health with Key to the Scrip lures" She wrote the remarkable book over thirty years ago. he said. and 1t was published in 1875. He re- garded 1t as thorough exegesis of healing all manner of diseases and curing all manner Of sin through the understanding of God as alI-prexent au-powerful. all-wise and universal.
 Mrs. Eddy. although now advanced Tn years, he said. performs editorial work for Christian Science periodicals as enerEetically as if she were in fine adolescence of her life.
 Judge Hanna sad that the daerita creed of Christian Science is to he iound In the tenets of the mother church in Boston which has a membeY- snip or So.0Oo and 1000 branches in all parts Of the country. These tenets tha speaker summed dp, copying from Mrs. Eddy.
 The speaker insisted on refuting the common charge against the discinle. or christian Science that they adopt a oiole Of their own. He said tbey aro ardent believers in the RIble ana ai'' enJoy the privilege of all the sects ana rehgions of having their commentaries together with the Bible. 'es

 So not into the way of the Gent,las ane into, any city of the Samaritans enter ye not; but go rather to tbe ia.s sheep of the house of Israel.
 And as ye go preach. saving. The Aingdom of heaven Is at hand.

 This commandment is a unit. It is not two commandments. There is in this language no warrant for any at-, tempt to separate the commandment by declaring that the part relating to preaching was to be 'perpetuated, but the part relating to healing the sick was to be put aside. as having refer ence only to the time in which. and those to whom, 1t was given After his resurrection and just before his ascension, Jesus gave to the same dis ciples to whom he gave his first great commandment (excepting Judas Is- cariot, who had betrayed him). q final commandment, This constitutes the last two verses of the Book of Mat thew:
 "'Go ye. therefore. and teach all na- tfons. baptiEing them in the name of the Father. and of the Son. and of the Holy Ghost.
 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever have commanded you; and, To, am with you always, even unto the end of the world.'
 The language Is broad and unquali- fled. It comprehends all the command menus preVlouSly gwen to hia disciples, and this, of course, includes his first great commandment. According to Marks Gospel he commands his dis ciples to preach this gospel to every creature"
 Judge Hanna closed by reading an extract from the preface of the Chris tian text book which, he said, epitom- ized what he had said.
 Judge Hanna has been engaged in his lectures for nearly two years. His title was derived from service as Judge of the County Court at Council Bluffs Iowa. It was there that he practlced law for several years.
 He is distantly related to the late Marcus Hanna
