THE DIsCovERER OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
The revelation of Christian Science
came to Mrs. Eddy as the result of a life
time spent in continuous search and de-
sire for the spirit of the Word and the
things of God. AS a religious reformer
she occupies position unique in the his
tory of the world-unswervin in her
trust in the goodness of God, and I'm,
questioning in her obedience to His COM
mands. This calls on her for such meek
ness, humility, and self-sacrihce, that she
never could live such life were it not for
the protecting care of real, livable,
demonstrable religion, wherein she finds
Immunity from the sufferings of those
who turn away from the Christ-concept
of God.
Ever since 1866 Mrs. Eddy's life has
been DEVOTED to the work of bringing to
mankind this revelatio of the way of
salvation. She has done this with such
singleness OF purpose, that mankind is
awakening to the recognition of her
work as inspired, that Christian Science
is the spirit of the Word which Jesus por-
| trayed. Christian Scientists do not wor-
| ship Mrs. Eddy, nor do they in any sense
of the word defy her in their thought.
| The whole teaching of Christian Science
leads us to put self under foot; to have
no way and no will save Gods way and
Gods will; and Mrs. Eddy asks the
world, each one of us, to follow her only
so far as she follows Christ. In her fol
lowing of Christ she has been the instru-
ment whereby the feet of hundreds of
thousands have been planted upon the
rock of the proved truth of Gods prom
Uses, and against that rock, in the words
of the Master, 1.-THE gates of hell shall
not prevail" We do love our leader,
and we give her the allegiance and devo-
tion to which her tireless labor in man
kinds behalf is entitled.
MATERIAL REMEDIES.
Respecting the claims ofmateria medica,
we can but ask. If God put drugs on the
earth to preserve and save the life OF
mankind, why did Jesus, who came do
ing the will of the Father fail to use
them in the healing which he accom-
plished? Jesus never used any thing for
the healing of mankind from disease
other than the word of God.
Jesus thus taught us that as we cast
aside all material remedies, no matter
how simple, and go in the way of his
appointing, blindly though it may be at
first, our obedience will open the eyes
that see not, and we shall behold the
glory of God and of His Son, the living
Christ.

Christian Science is the demonstration
of that great, tender, compassionate
love which Jesus Christ manifested tC
the world, not only in his word but ii
his demonstrations of power. Christian
Science is the revelation to manknC

that religion. pure and undehled, whicl
the Bible commands us to demonstrate
Love brings no evil Love brings no sui

Love- as it is demonstrated in Christian
Science, enables a man to reach out t.
