Professor Hermann 3 Herring formerly

the First Church OF Christ. Scientist. Bos-
ton. lectured before an audience OF sev-
eral hundred persons at the Lexington
Assembly Hall in East 5sth street, last

Salvation was the theme upon which

The objects, action and power OK
pressed in a moving picture are not in
the picture, and We do not associate them
with the picture" Professor Herring said
I'VE associate them with the original the
picture reproduces. Similarly. life, growth.
action power substance and law are not
in the matter physical existence or the
material conscience, but in divine mind
the only cause and principle Of being. and
should he so thought Of
when We recognize God as the only
mind. the only cause, truth is reflected
I'm consciousness and existence il har-
monious," he continued. When we be-
lieve causaton to be the material Of i'm
mortal mind. We put our trust and de-
pendence in a shadow. a false belief. and
existence. so-called, is discOrdant, liable
10 disease, disaster and death In order
to work out our salvation we therefore
need to understand causation. II we can
see existence as mental instead of phys
zeal we have taken a great step forward.
The next step is TO learn what is real
and true. and thus correct our impress
sions and obtain a truer consciousness Of
existence.
The ordinary concept OF mind is that
which thinks. feels or wills, the intellect
or. in other words. the activity of the
gray matter OF the BRAIN" Professor Her
ing declared Christian Science reveals
the fact that the mind is divine principle,
the infinite life. truth, love- omnipresent

eternal. unchanging all-Wise being; nc
only cause and creator

II Is not 20 he wondered at, indeed. it
Is inevitable that Christian Scientists
should love her for having brought 10 the
world this science Of salvation. 1t is the
true knowledge OF God and man, the
spiritual understanding Of the Holy
Scriptures which enables them 10 know
themselves and TO demonstrate that saw
ing faith which alone leads to Heaven
We love her not only for the revelation
OF the demonstrable Christ truth which
Is contained I'm her wonderful book. Sci
ence and Health, with Key TO the Script
ures. and her other writings, but for her
conservation and devotion TO the great
religious movement she inaugurated. She
remained steadfastly at her post OF duty
and continued 10 instruct guide. advise
and admonish her followers and to lead
on her great cause in its stately progress.
Mrs. Eddy did not simply state her
discovery TO the world. She FIRST demon
strated it. and then offered it as a de-
mOustrable science for all mankind To
profit by. This science overcomes evil by
giving true knowledge of God and His
Christ. II enables all humanity to work
out their own salvation and. reach that
pure consciousness which Jesus calls the
'kngdcm Of heaven
