churches. located in every civilized
 country on the globe. New churches
 and societies are being formed at the
 rate of one every three and a half to four days. When Mrs. Eddy first discovered Christian Science, she put it to every
 possible test, to make sure she had a demonstrable truth. After practising | 1t Tor some years, and healing disease in every stage. she began to teach 1t | to others. establishing the Metaphysi- cal College wherein she taught several thousand students. Mrs. Eddy is the | authoress of several books upon Chris-i | tian Science, chief among them that which is Known as the. Christian | Science textbook. Science and Health | with Key to the Scriptures"
 This book is the Christian Scientists authority for all that pertains to Chris | tan Science. It is a commentary on ! the Bible. It explains the Science of ! Being. 1t sets forth the cause and cure ! Of all disease and death, and unveils the hitherto unexplained mysteries of reading this precious book You may | inquire how this can be. Because every | sentence is a declaration of divine Truth. and the Truth makes free, as | the Master declared.
 There are four Christian Science | publications The Christian Science |
 Bible Lessons. issued quarterly, are | prepared from the Bible, with corre- )1ative passages from Science and Health. They furnish a weekly lesson sermon for the churches and societies.
 and Christian Scientists find much
 help from the daily study of them. The l Christian Science Journal and Der Herold, issued monthly, and the Chris 1 tian Science Sentinel issued weekly,
 each contain articles on Christian ! Science and testimonies of healing, contributed by the field The Christian |! Science Monitor. issued by The Chris tian Science Publishing Society is 6 daily newspaper. It is an impersonal messenger, as it were-'The exponent of clean journalism" It is not a sec

 has with them. -.-ss- Think of all this as the work of one,
 woman, and the growth of only 40 : years. Then approximate. if you can, what it will be in the next 40 years.
 Does it not give you Christian Scien- : lists courage, renewed inspiration and |, ad5ed zeal to have part in such glorious spreading of the gospel of
 salvation? Christian Scientists are truly erate-
 ful for the healing of disease and sin, and the many blessings which they have experienced throu9h the truth as 1, revealed by Mrs Eddy. but even these
 fade into insi~nifcance coInpared to the better understanding of God and mans true relation to Him, which
 Christian Science unfolds.
 Christian Scientists Do Not Worship Mrs. Eddy.
 ,I Christian Scientists worship God only. The imputation that they wor-' ship otherwise is wholly false. It is our greatest concern to live in strict
 obedience to the law as given in the First Commandment. The success of | every Christian Scientist depends upon
 it. Indeed, to have absolutely no | OIneT eOOS Inan the one 1nnnlto Nina | IS the rule with which all healing is I accomplished.
 II Because of the numberless biesslngs
 which have scomes~ to them through Christian Science,r Christian, Scientists. revere the name of Mary Baker Eddy, and love her with true sincerity and
 tenderness. Through her discovery of Christian Science God has made "his | face to shine upon enSiaved human ity. Because Mrs. Eddy was obedient to the command to love God above all things, she loved humanity also and lived a life of constant, prayerful de-
 votion to God, in order to save the fallen and heal the sick. She sougt. I no earthly glory or favor. All she Il asked was that men should near the divine message which makes free. II On Bedloe's island in New York har- | bor stands a colossal bronze statue of | a woman holding aloft a lighted torch, Il symbolishing Liberty enlightening the world" It is an inspiring and noble
 idea-a figure full of meaning, seem- | ing to assure to the alien the liberty, | well being and happiness of which he has dreamed and making light the harbor in a glad Welcome Home for every returning wanderer.
 Il Even so there is another harbor. at the entrance whereof every storm toss ed man who has sailed the uncharted | sea of error win find Christian Science. The spiritual understanding of 8 | woman holds aIoft this light of Truth
 and liberty by which the wandsrer may know and find the way to enter the | Promised Jand"-s-the peace of God, which passetb all understanding" |
