The 0iseoverse and Founder.
The world owes the discovery or
Christian Science, the rediscovery OF
the principle by which the healing was
done in bible times. to consecrated
christian woman-Mrs. Eddy. 1t was
my great privilege to speak with Mrs
Eddy herself, to receive her advice
and admonition. and would like to
bear testimony to the fact that I have
never met any one who manifested so
much Of universal impartial and DE-
vine love as she did, and with it all
great sense of might, of the might as
ISOLATED with meekness, derived from
an understanding Of God as the ono
and only power.
Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy was born in
New England. in the state Of New
Hampshire. Her childhood was spent
In household In which religious in
fiuences predominated. under the
Watchful care Of . deeply loved mother.
1t was In 1866 that her discovery Of
Christian Science took place as the
result Of her sudden recovery from an
accident. For twenty years before that
she had been studying the question Of
mental causation for all physical eff
fects. but 1t was this sudden recovery
which acted as sign. showing her the
way to the true healing Is spiritual
a. both christian and scientific. She
searched the scriptures, taking the
bible as her only text book, and finally.
in 1875. published the Christian Sci
ence text book, Science and Health
With Key to the Scriptures" She
founded one by one, all the various
means by which Christian Science has
been brought before the public, dis
dom and loving kindness which stamp
but also as a large-hearted and broad
minded woman.
Under her wise caro- periodicals
were established which illustrate the
teaching Of Christian Science in human
affairs: The Christian Science Jour
nal. appearing monthly: also Der
Herold der Christian Science, pub
lished monthly in German; the Chris.
lot ao1S-
ly. and The Christian Science Moni-
tor. daily newspaper. which lays spe-
cial emphasis upon the good in human
endeavor and achievement. upon that
which Is wholesome and helpful These
globe. emphasizing the teachings of
them the glad tidings Of spiritual heal
ing and regeneration.
The comfortss.
Then. to those looking with hope and
faith for better things Christian Sci
Used by the Master.
1t shows that the right ideals which
we have cherished and nourished are
creation: that the ideal man is Gods
At hand. It answers the cry Of man
kind for deuveranee fran its woes. It
assures us that no sorfow II too deep,
NO sin too persistent, no sickenss too
severe no question too perplexinS. and
no burden too heavy for the saving
grace OF spiritual understanding. II
teaches VI to know God. in whom we
live, and move. and have our being. It
corrects the false concept of God as
the supposed source OF evil. shows that
evil has no real origin, permanency
and power. and thus. once and for all.
removes the sting of fear from our. ex-
istence.
No more comforting statement was
ever made than this from the scrip
lures: Perfect love casteth out fear"
Fear seems to be component part Of
almost every case of sin, sickness or
crime. Danish fear and great per-
centage Of all human woe would disap-
pear. Christian Science is showing the
way to do this. II Is proving the cor
rectness OF its teachings by its works.
It is going to those who are consid-
cred hopeless victims of bad habits and
striking of their hackles. It Is going
to the bedside Of those who have been
declared incurable, because there IL
nothing in the whole range Of material
redemies which can reach their cases,
and is making them well and strong
again. II Is going to families once
disrupted by vice and misunderstand-
ing and is establishing peace and
mutual respect.
To all those who are in need Of any
sort, whether harassed and haunted
by pain or heartache or fear for the
future. Christian Science says. with
infinite compassion and with absolute
certainty. Fear not, little flock: for it
is your Fathers good pleasure to give
you the kingdom"-the kingdom Of
heaven the assurance Of perfect safety
and protection, the possession and en-
; joyment OF holiness, happiness and
health"
