 Nil. Herring is q speaker of splen- did presence and decided oratoricaI attainment and held the entire as sembly attentive to his every word during the hour and a quarter he ad- dressed them. In part he said:
 Christ Jesu the great physician. the divine healer, has for all time set the standard of perfect healing before humanity, and that many did not yet believe in his gospel results from d lack of understanding of the true ma ture and philosophy of the so-calIed miracles which he performed
 The fact tnats Christian science heals can readily be determined by any sincere investigator. and the sup porting evidence reveals it's coin cidence with spiritual healing thus proving this healing to be true and possible today and establishing tne fact that Christian Science is Messi- anic
 According to the Scriptural ac- counts. the healing wrought by the Master and his disciples. was accom- phshed through mental or spiritual means alone. thus through some ac- tiOn of thought Christian Science healing is brought about in the same way In both. the healing Principle and law are mental. and we are thus led to examine into the nature of Mind and mind action.
 Christian Science teaches that Mind is that which thinks. that which eX- presses itself in ideas, intelligence, I,.. of all manifestation. the Principle and intelligence of the univere.
 This divine actuaIity is the scien- tific basis on which all Christian healing is demonstrated. the divine Principle whose unlimited power is utilized in the overcoming of sin and sickness.
 Christian Science shows that the socalled mind which includes the be- lief in evil, matter and disease. is not real Mind but false concept of mind that Adam dream. which St. Paul terms, the carnal mind which is en- mity against God" in other words, Gods unlikeness or opposite This then is one of the initial and , essential steps in the Science of Christion healing-the recognition of the unreality of all that which is un- like God, that it has but a seeming and not an actual existence.
 The order of scientific Christian healing therefore is expressed first. in the knowing of perfect God and per feet man. followed by the recognition of the erroneous nature of disease, sin and all that is unlike God: then in the application of absolute truth to the elimination of error so that right. harmonious conditions may be ! established.
 The love and gratitude which Chris tion Scientists feel toward Mrs Eddy is not to be wondered at when one takes into account the great good which has come into their lives as the result of her teachings
 The whole world is indebted to her for her Scientific and spiritual inter pretation of the Bible, especially the words and works of the Master, and for her demonstration of the truth of his teachings. In the fact of the so-called higher criticism and the doubt respecting the correctness of much Scripture teaching and the pos sibility of obeying Christ Jesus com mands Mrs. Eddy's proof that the Bible is true stands out as the great est most significant achievement of this age. for hereby the truth of Christianity and the rightness of it's basis is scientifically established.
