SCIENCE OF
CHRISTIANITY
William D. McCracken Lectures
on the Eddy Faith at the
Illinois Theater.
LARGE AUDIENCE HEARS HIM
Interestingly Lays Before His Listen
ers Tenets and Practicableness
Of Greed.

The lecture on Christian Science last
evening by William D. McCracken, A.
NJ. O. 8. B., attracted filed house
to the Illinois theater. Mr.. McCracken
is member OF the board Of lecture
ship OF the First Church OF Christ,
Scientist, Boston. He is an easy,
graceful and forcefuI speaker, and his
treatment OF his subject impressed all
who heard him. He was introduced
by John K Scott.
Mr. McCracken spoke in part as fol
lows:
1.-THE message OF Christian Science
is simple and straightforward and re-
spends to q universal need. 1t is not
easily treated as an academic theme,
nor Is it, strictly speaking, debatable
question, because 1t provides the proofs
of its own correctness day by day and
hour by hour, and these proofs are
final and convincing. Christian Sci
enoe does more than preach: it fulfills.
While 1t arouses the noblest aspira-
tions and expectations Of mankind, it
also justifes it's teachings by definite
results.
Comes to Fallen.
like the good Samaritan, it comes
to those who have fallen among thieves,
whom false concepts have robbed of
health and happiness, whom material
methods have passed by on the other
side, and pours in their wounds the
oil and wine Of gladness and inspira-
ton. takes them to the inn of shelter
and leaves them with the coin of price
less value which will insure their COM
plete recovery and, in time, their com
plote salvation.
"Since Mrs. Eddy's discovery of
Christian Science the healing Of Jesus
time has been reinstated, in accord
ence with His urnistakable injunction
to His followers, and today hundreds
Of thousands OF men, women and chill
dren in all portions of tho globe rise
to bless the good and brave woman to
whom they owe health and happiness.
Discovery Due to Accident.
Her quick recovery from the result
OF an accident, through the revelation
OF the spiritual meaning Of the bible,
led to her discovery OF Christian Sci
ence in 1866. In 1875 followed the
publication OF her epoch-making work,
the Christian Science textbook, Sci
ence and Health With Key to the
Scriptures now widely distributed
among the civilized nations OF the
earth.
Mrs. Eddy has been the active lead
ar OF the Christian Science movement
from It's inception and continues to
mold Its growth and development
along the lines OF the greatest useful.
ness to mankind.
"The very first benefit which Chris
dnn Science confers upon mankind is
20 prove that there is hope for all. It
treasures even those who have been
