A criticism of the testimonial meet
ings of Christian Science churches is
sometimes to the effect that one hears
nothing but statements of physical
healing. Yet those who attend these
services regularly wonder how such an
impression can be received by any real
ly attentive listener. Many, if not
most. of those who testify say that the
physical relief even from bondage to
such despotism. as Incorporate habits
sinks for them into insignificance in
comparison with the new-found joy in
knowing God. Perhaps these state
ments are overlooked because they are
so simply made. The testimony of heal
ing is in many instances so striking
that strangers, perhaps pondering how
such things can be, do not notice the
speakers joy in being at last awake to
spiritual things.
There are other reasons why the tes-
timony meetings seem to lay the en-
phasis IN the healing. The healing is
the definite evidence that Christian
Science gives a deeper understanding of
Christian teaching than the world has
known The demand of Christian
Science is for those definite evidences
of our growth in grace which satisfy
the test Jesus gave. Our conquest of
ent stage of development.
WHAT UNDERLIEs HEALING
The more we realize what it means
to be in the image of divine and per-
feet mind the more we realize how
far from this likeness our present con-
sciousness IS. But in the definite CON
quest over disease we see a sure way
mark to progress. Physical healing by
the power of God is the first and
simplest step to the final realization
of the kingdom of heaven. When wit
nesses stand up to tell of disease con-
quered by Christian Science they are
telling far more than one does who
says a drug healed him. The Scientist
knows that something of the cleansing
work we have touched on here pre-
ceded the physical healing. He knows
that to be we'll in Science where he
was sick means that he is that much
nearer spiritual conquest. The whole
mass of mortal concepts is so complex
and the interrela tions so tangled of
what Science terms beliefs about
disease and about personal traits and
inherited dispositions. mental and ply
steal, that no law can be laid down
as to the order in which these beliefs
shall be replaced by higher concepts.
But at least we know that when the
sense of disease has been conquered
by spiritual understanding we have an
actual proof of the shining OF the
divine light unto US.
Another reason why the physical
proofs Of Science are discussed more
at length on Wednesday than the
spiritual uplifting as such is the very
simple one that these meetings are
chiefly to bear witness to the world In
order that others may be helped. 1t is

MOTIVES FOR MEETINGS
Again,> Christian Scientists do not
give much of the Wednesday meeting
to expounding their sense of truth, as
is done in other similar services, for the
reason that the Sunday services are for
this purpose. Indeed the wednesday
meeting is like a corollary to the sun
dav service. On Sundays the truths OF
Christian Science are set forth in a
clear and simple manner, not argumen-
tatively and with no display of rhetoric
or oratory The simple statements OF
Love and Truth, wherein the divine
Mind is unfolded to the willing hearer,
are spread like a generous table before
every conner. He may take what he
will-what he can, in his present state
of thought. Then the Wednesday meet
ines are the evidence of what this
teaching does in a practical way 10 SCI
humanity free Jesus said: "Ye shall
know the truth and the truth small
make you free" but not until Mrs.
Eddy began teaching Christian Science
had we remembered that the promises
of Jesus were for all time, not Tor an
unseen future only.
No one who gets glimpse of what
Christian Science really is teaching can
cavil at the Wednesday service, with
the people rejoicing to tell what mas
come to them from the knowledge OF
Cod as ever present good, in whom is
no evil at ALL There is no such wonder
f11l phenomenon on earth today as the
circle of these meetings girdling the
globe.
Does not the single achievement of
nodilv harmony demand attention?
Ask any man or woman condemned TO
a life Of inaction or to years of Wearl-
ness and suffering, ask the physicians
who labor with hearts yearning over
the anguish of the earth, and they Will
say that to render humanity physlcally
we'll and free were something worth all
the wealth of the world could it be
brought to surrender that wealth, leav-
ing men to begin all over again at
building up their fortune. Then if those
who have found this physical freedom
in Christian Science say that 1T is the
least of the blessings this truth has
brought them. is not Christian Science
worth honest investigation?-Th Chris
