asking us to do; this is what Chris
tian Science is laying before us: this
is the table that is prepared for us In
the presence Of our enemies; this is
the bread which cometh down from
heaven; this is the water of eternal
life--it is yours, it is mine. Let US &C
cept the feast that God has put be-
fore us; let us recognize the Com
forter, the Wayshower again in our
midst; the Comforter, which Jesus
promised to send when he said it was
expedient that he go to his Father.
Then there will be no more broken
hearts, there will be no more sorrow,
no more tears, no more separation, no
more sickness, no more suffering. and
no more sin, for we shall have entered
into the realization that this is the day
of the Lord; and with that realization
there will come to us pease,--that
peace which God has promised us

in the straight and narrow way
wherein our Master leads us, into the

The DiscOyerer of Christian Science
| The revelation of Christian Science
came to Mrs. Eddy as the result OF a
lifetime spent in continuous search
and desire for the spirit of the Word
and the things of God AS a religious
| reformer she occupies a position uni
que in the history of the world-un-
swerving in her trust in the goodness
of God, and unquestioning in her ODE
dience to His commands This calls
| on her for such meekness, humility
and self-sacrif1ce, that she never could
live such life were it not for the pro-
tecting care of a real, livable, demon
strable religion, wherein she finds inn
munity from the sufferings of those
who turn away from the Christ-con-
cept of God.
Ever since 1866 Mrs Eddy's life has
been devoted to the work of bringing
to mankind this revelation of the way
of salvation. She has done this with
such singleness Of purpose. that man
kind is awakening to the recognition
of her work as inspired, that Chris
tfan Science is the spirit of the Word

Scientists do not worship Mrs Eddy
nor do they in any sense of the word
deity her in their thought The whole
teaching Of Christian Science leads us
to but 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 in
strument whereby the feet of hundreds
OF thousands have been planted upon
the rock of the proved truth of Gods
promises, and against that rock, in the
words of the Master, "the gates Of hell

to feel that I did not care to hear
about God, and church-going had be-

Then Christian Science came. with
the assurance that God is Love: that
He has nothing to do with evil and

Science came to me, and gave me God,
and when / tell you this as my exper-
fence, I am telling you the experience
of countless thousands all over the
globe. Is 1t any wonder that we love
the one who has been so selfless and
so faithful to her endeavor that
through it God has come to us, that
salvation has been brought within our
apprehension? We are willingly, joy
fully obedient to her every teaching,
because it is through her continued
labors for over forty years that the
mystery of the way OF salvation has
been removed and the glory of God
again been made apparent to man
kind.
Material Remedies.
Respecting the claims or mater1d
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 doing the will of the
Father, fail to use them In the healing
which he accomplished? Jesus never
used anything for the healing of man
kind from disease other than the word
of God. Here some one may ask, Did
not Jesus use material remedies when
he put clay and spittle on the blind
mans eyes? Now, this case, when un-
derstood, is one of the most wonderful
lessons in the whole Bible. Do we
believe that Jesus thought, when he
put the clay on the mans eyes, it
would restore his sight? If we do,
then we believe this was an instance
in which Jesus failed to foreknow
what would happen, for according to
the story, the clay failed to accom-
plish anything Did the blind man see
