and Broome streets, yesterday the sec
ond meeting of the Medical Christian
/ Scientists was held and steps were
taken towards providing a suitable and
permanent place OF meeting in the fu-
ture.
During the meeting an interesting
extract fro ma work which is being
compiled for publication was read by
Professor Hermann. 1t follows in
part
"The first man. Adam, was Of earth
iearthy' So writes q famous and
learned New Testament authority
And Hebrew photographers tell us that
the word Adam" means RED Earth"
We claim, therefore, that the material
structure of man is composed OF GER
tain ingredients of this earth. The sci
ences Of chemistry and physiology also
lforcibly sustain this fact. IL is es-
tablished beyond doubt that the human
body is composed Of a combine Of GER
tain classified chemical substances,
called fats. carbohydrates. proteids
These are in association with minor
chemical substances. as salines and
Ichrystation substances. From the
lmetoboa, which Is the smallest atom
known in the living animal body, to the
very outmost Of its physical being.
These chemical substances in one form
or another are essential for the de-
velopment Of the human being and
also for its support and maintenance.
An Essential Problem.
An essential problem in the contem-
lplation of life is the differentiating be-
tween health and disease. And here
we are called on to be explicit in de-
fning good health, which Is the antith-
esis of disease. Good health implies a
perfectly normal condition Of the or
ganic structure and functional activ-
ity OF the entire physical being Dis
ease is the interference with the nor
NAL organic or functional activity Of
the physical being. Primarily disease
is mans inheritance from sin. But Il
should not be forgotten that disease
is very frequently the result of vitiated
taste or appetite. Personal unclean-
ness is also a prolific source Of dis
ease. The epiderms or skin is
prominent factor in the exhalation OF
the secretions of the body. When we
consider that in a person of medium
size there are eight miles IN length OF
pores OF the skin, being on an average
Of 1000 to the square inch, employed in
the elimination of excretion matter
from the body, how essential It is to
keep the body absolutely clean Many
diseases also are hereditary. such as
scrofula, cancer pthisis, tuberculosis,
heart diseases, neurosis and sometimes
lvenereal diseases. And here we are
brought I'm contact with the great So
cial evil Of parties marrying those who
are diseased. Thus we have vertical
ton OF what is written I'm the Word Of
God, Il will visit the iniquities of the
fathers upon their children. even unto
the third and fourth generation; show
ling mercy unto thousands OF them
that love me, and keep my command
ments."
And we see from this that to love
God and keeping His commandments
may be largely instrumental in pre-
venting the development of hereditary
disease in the offspring of those who
, have been congenitally afflicted
/ through improper living on the part Of
their parents or ancestors.
e Everyone Ought to Know.
q Every man and woman ought to
a know for what purpose they are placed
: on this earth, viz, to live so that God
e is glorihed in US; and we do all we can
TO bring happiness and good to our
! fellows. Otherwise we have missed the
- true aim of life. 1t is therefore our
aim to bring into active force all the
- elements of nature that the Divine Gre
e ator has placed at our disposal for the
G physical, moral and mental betterment
b of our fellow men. II is not enough
2 to have the spirit of truth, but we want
= the whole truth to bind us in one COM
a mon brotherhood. If this earth was
created for man, everything in 1t was
created for him. We therefore seek to
gather all that nature and science have
to give for this great purpose. Hither-
to the father of lies has sought to blind
our eyes and keep us in strife Dis
!. case and death are mans common en-
lemies. We, the Medical Christian
Scientists are therefore determined to
use all medicine, all truly scientific
methods, soul culture and a faithful
+ adherence TO the religion Of Christ In
l. our war against disease and death.
l. The Christian Scientists under Mrs.
g. Eddy have shown their monstrous ig-
o norance OF the whole law OF rational
4 cure by their protested expulsion Of
n medicine from their creed, and their
total ignorance of the anatomical path
q ology Of the human body as well as 4ts
b.. chemical organization. Their chimeri-
cal talk about imagining the presence
Of disease in the body is simply pitt
able in the extreme. We cali to aid.
as Gods gifts to man. all medicine of
the vegetable, mineral and animal
y kingdoms as well as the best methods,
? such as electrobiology. pneumatology,
a psychology. and with whatever else
may come within our reach as a ra-
uonal means for the relief of suffering
, humanity and the betterment Of our
race. And we ask that God may guide
us into all truth.
