dience at Eggans hall last evening
DR.. Francis J. Fluno, member of the
board of lectureship of the Mother
church, The First Church of Christ
Scientist, in Boston, Mass, delivered
an interesting explanation of the prin-
ciples and belief of the Christian
Science doctrine.
Dr. Fluno said in part: Christian
Science is the Science of being; it is
the law of Life, Truth and Love under
stood and demonstrated. Christian Sci
ence cannot fail, any more than the
science of numbers can fail The eter-
nal laws of Life, Truth, and Love, that
are found having their foundation in
the one God, can no more fail than
their foundation Principle, the eter-
nal God, can fail. The Science of being
/ is as independent as the science of
mathematics. Like the Spirit of Love,
! ii seeks no reward and fears no punish
ment. 1t breads no downfall and asks
no assistance. AS the eternal act Of be-
ing, it can stand alone; being true, and
its principle Truth, It asks no support
from anyone or anything. 1t is the
same, whether thousands rally to it's
standard or seek to trail its banner in
the dust. 1t is living reality, and it's
Principle everlasting Life, and there
, fore connot die. 1t will live through all
the ages yet to come as it has lived
through all the ages that have already
come
Christian Science is the eternal fact
of being and does not teach eternal
Punishment from God, or good. but on
the contrary it teaches that all must
come to Truth at last God is on,ni-
potent, and being Yesterday, AID to-
day, and for ever" the same, His ON
impotence forever has been and for
ever will remain. Hence no other pow
er can be, no other power has ever
been, no other power can ever be able
t, stay His mighty hand, or thwart Him
in His purpose.
Therefore God and Heaven are, and
their opposite is not, and divine Sci |
ence is the angel that comes today, to |
lay hold on that old serpent which is
the Devil and Satan and will chain
him and cast him into the bottomless
angels with him.
Christian Scientists being students
OF this divine Science and finding how
true it is, naturally and
grow to become one with it, TO re-
fleet it, to represent it and express
it, in thought, in word, and in deed.
Christian Science Not Mesmerism.
Christian Science is not mesmerism;
is the belief of minds
many, that each individual has a mind
If his own, and that the stronger mind
IAN influence and take unlawful con-
rol of the weaker mind, which, judg- /
ng from appearances, would be the s
natural inference, and if the senses {
could be trusted, and appearances
we're reliable, this would be the only |
conclusion that could be arrived at. '
But we Thank God through Jesus [
christ our Lord" that in the light /
f Christian Science, the revelator, that {
eality That the Bible and Science '
nd Health, corroborating the Scrip Il
ures, also the grand and unsurpassed
demonstrations of Jesus and the apos
f healing through Christian Science,
II teach and demonstrate that the
ne Mind has power over the carnal
ind; that the sense testimony is false,
nd the Christ mind is true
Science and Health and the Bible,
hen rightly understood, disclose the
lct that God is the only Mind, and =
lie so-called mortal mind is but the l.
ANAL mind that must be corrected y
Y the divine Mind. So that Christian *
cience, so far from being mesmerism, =
just the opposite, it really exposes u
I'd destroys mesmerism; for instead Il
teaching minds many, it teaches one
ind, and that the Mind of God, in
HON no evil is, no sickness, sin. or
.ath, which Mind must overcome and p
the mortal mind or negative to
ind, as darkness is swallowed up l.
r light. pl
Christian Scientists, instead of be-
