CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LECTURE
CONTINUED from page A.
THIS is AN AGE OF PRACTICAL
THINGS

The chief difference between the
civilization of the present time and
the civilizations that have existed IN
the past, is TO be found in the de
for instance, attained a high degree
OF culture They excelled in archl-
lecture, painting, sculpture, oratory,
poetry. in the drama, and in all form
of prose composition but with all Of
their culture they never invented a
single labor-saVing machine. They
knew nothing of electricity or OF the
application of steam, never had a
coohng,stoTe, a sewing-machine, or
any OF the simplest conveniences
that are enjoyed today by every one.
IN our own time the demand is
for practical things. A thing is val
liable in proportion as it is useful
No one has any time for theories, and
if a man has a theory he must try
it cut fer himself, and prove it's u
dHty before any one will listen to
him.
The demand fer practical things
also demands a religion that is prac-
teal People are no longer salts
fled With theories about what is to
happen in another world. What is
desired is a demonstrable religion
that saves from present troubles
from sickness, and sin, and failure,
and unhappiness, and the countless
ills OF everyday human experience
and If there is a religion that viii
do that, it can be safely trusted for
the future.
Christian Science is essentially
practical religion. 1t has been called
applied Christianity. There is the
same difference between Christian
Science and other systems that there
is between mathematics and engineer
ing Mathematics does much good
in many ways, but it is not until the
rules OF mathematics are applied to
human affairs that we see brOl Sht
out great bridges, railroads, sUbw ways
lofty buildings, and other things that
are of public utility, and which con-
tribute to the welEbeing of mankind.
So It Is only when the teachings OF
Jesus are understood and applied to
human affairs that We see the sick
