John that the lame do walk and the
blind do see" That was all it was,
not more brief than conclusive; it
touched the high level Of the nomen-
'tcus occasion, and hushed to silence
through all the march Of the years
every impions questioning of the
Christss divinity.
Have you ever thought of it for a
moment that this is the only argu-
ment that Jesus ever made IN this
world to establish His divinity? Think
OF It now. He said, indeed He was
the Christ, that He was IN the Father
and the Father in Him, but the only
argument He ever made to esta blish
the truth of His declaration is found
IN the simple assertion of the patent
fact, 1.-The lame do walk and the
oi1nd do see.' And this is the argu-
ment, the impregnable argument of
Christian Science to the doubling
Johns of the world today. "The lame
do walk and the blind do see' today.
as they did walk and see nineteen
hundred years ago, and by the virtue
OF the same limitless power and the
same boundless love that they did
walk and see then; and so long as we
can say this in truth, as in truth we.
can say it tonight, just so long every
shaft aimed at Christian Science,
coming from whatsoever source 1t
may, will fall harmless to the ground,
From what have said, it is appar-
ent that our contention is that Christ
ian Science is a religion pure and
simple, religion Of works, a nearer
approach than men have known for
seventeen hundred years to the re1ig-
ion that Jesus taught in the temple that
He preached throughout all Judea,
that He SO lovingly and tenderly
practiced among all His people; and
If it is all of this, then you want it,
every one in the world wants it: and
if it is less than all of this, we do not
want it, no one in the worldswants it
Wherefore this contention Of ours is
the only debatable question respect
ing Christian Science: Is it the re-
hg1on Jesus brought, taught and
practiced?
MRS. EDDY's TEACHING
And now one word bout Mrs. Eddy,
the great woman who has with rare
devotion to humanity and marvellous
spiritual conception restored to the
world an abiding sense of the sweet
ness, love and healing power incident
to unfaltering reliance upon God.
Mrs. Eddy does not seek adulation,
she protests against it; her effort is
not for self. The sweetest passage
in her marvellous teaching impresses
the negation of self, .glorifies the love
of God and the love of men. She does
not claim to have discovered the heal
ing power, but simply to have found
IN Gods word the means whereby
every weary child of earth may sue
cessfully invoke that power. 1t is her
"Key to the Scriptures" that makes
her contribution to humanity abso-
lutely exhaustless and absolutely i'm
enthusiastically | say imper-
ishable; good is imperishabIe.
