CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
LECTURE GIVEN
Continued from first page.)

ing as to the meaning OF the terms, Scl,
ence means exact, systematiZed ana
demonstrable knowledge of facts, laws
and causes while, according to smiths
Bible dictionary, salvation means de-
liverance from temporal evils ana eaIth-
w destruction" in other words, deiiN,
erance from evil,-from sin, disease ana
death. Hence "The Science OF SalVa-
ton" means in substance that demon
strable knowledge which affords DENY
erance from all evil.
St. Paul admonishes us to work OUT
our own salvation This scriptural com
mand means far more than the common
belief that salvation is assured by SIM
pIv having belief or faith in Jesus as
the son of God. Such saving is yltally
necessary, but il is only the beginning
of our salvation spiritual basis.
Then must follow the working out
of our deliverance from evil on TINS
basis; our actual separation from SIN
from the bondage of this world, from
| limitation. failure, disease, death.
In working out our salvation we must
first see that salvation or deliyerance
from evil is mental process, takes
place in the mind; that it Is a trans
| formation through mind and IS both
ethical and philosophical.
| The Bible declares that ITO be car
nally minded is death; but to be spritu-
ally minded is life and peace
| Christian Science teaches that matter
and material existence are phenomena
of the mortal, material, finite mind, a
concept of existence obtained through
the physical senses, a misapprehension
OF reality held by human consciousness
when uninstrueted by Science, an APP
pearance instead of an actually. II
| Is simply an imitation or counterfeit OBJ
tanned from a finite, dimensional, NOR
! tai basis.
! Now it is not the appearance but only
] the original that has power, intelligence
and substance The manifestation Of
growth. action or being in matter is but
material concept of spiritual facts.
The objects, action and power ex,
pressed in a moving picture are MOI
in the picture and we do not associate
them with the picture, but with the
original which the picture reproduces
Similarly, life, growth, action, power
substances, law. ct cetera, are not u
matter. physical existence or the ma
terial consciousness; but in divine mind
the only cause and principle OF being
and should be so thought OF.
When we recognize God as the only
mind the only cause, truth is reflected
i'm consciousness and existence IS har
monious. When we believe causauor
to be material or in mortal mind, WI
put our trust and dependence IN
shadow. false belief, and existence 81
called is discordant, liable to disease
disaster, death. In order to work on
our salvation we therefore need to un
derstand causation.
The ordinary human concept of mint
is that which thinks, feels or wills, tn
intellect, or the activity of the gra.
matter called brain. Christian Scienc
reveals the fact that mind is divin
principle, the infinite life, truth, love
competent. omnscient, omnipresent, tn
all-inclusive, eternal, unehanging, all
wise being, the only cause and creator
Christian Science makes it clear tina
material existence is not the manifesto
ton of this divine mind, but the phe
nomenon of the counterfeit, called NOR
tai mind.
II is this false concept Of existenc
that does all the wrong thinking; tina
believes in sin, disease and death; tina
claims there is life and intelligence i
matter.
The difference between the method 0
healing through mental suggestion, o
hypnotism. and that of the divine mind
the Christ healing, must be clearly seer
When the effort is made to heal b
