An interesting and thorough exposi-
tion of the chief tenets of Christian
Science was made yesterday afternoon
by Miss Mary Brookins, who addressed
large audience at the Harnois thea
ter. Miss Brookins, who is member
of the Christian Science board of lee
tureship of The First Church of Christ
Scientist. was introduced bv Ellis Sed
man. Mr. Sedman spoke as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In the ninth chapter of Matthew, we
read this statements. "And Jesus went
about all the cities and villages, teach
ing in their synagogues, and preaching
the gospel Of the kingdom, and healing
every sickness and every disease
among the people,
All Christians will agree with Chris
tian Scientists that Jesus healed the
sick, besides reforming the sinful, and
comforting the sorrowing by the power
Of God and in response to the will of
God; for he said, Il came #
not to do mine own will, but the will
of Him that sent me-"
But many believe that Christian
healing belonged exclusively to an age
that is past; and that it is Of no avail
now for a suffering man to turn to
God in his hour of extreme need-when
perhaps he has been pronounced in
durable under modern methods Of heal
ing
christian Science holds out to the
7 men and and women of today a bright
er promise than that. 1t teaches that
Gods healing and saving power is
available now just as 1T was in the
time of our great master; and 1t
proves the correctness of this teaching
by healing all manner of diseases.
Two years ago ! heard a prominent
and successful physician in a large
eastern city speak before a committee
off, the state legislature, in protest
against a proposed bill intended to re-
strict the practice Of Christian Science
in that state. A member of the com
mittee said to this physician: do you
believe that Christian Science heals 2"
And the physician replied: u know
that it does, but | have seen several
cases that had failed to cure healed
through Christian Science"
A professor in Harvard university
whose name is familiar to scholars on
both sides of the Atlantic, after asking
about my own healing, said to me- Il
know that Christian Sc1ence heals.
have observed enough to convince me
of that"
Among my own acquaintance are
men and women who have been healed
of such diseases as cancer, locomoter-
ataxia, consumption and heart disease.
4 IT any of the claims made for Chris
tianaScience this afternoon strike some
of you as extreme or 700 good to be
true, remember that Christian Science
asks Won to believe nothing-excent
