The SPEAKER was introduced by Lon

dress vas brief but appropriate.
Nj Chadwick said in part:
TIL e is perhaps one basic though
upon Nhich all .religionists agree 3
the Try Qa&set, viz: Consciousness

seriousness we would cease to eXiSt

conc, of consciousness has been u"

eyiden, then, that from it humanity

our heaven will be found here anu
now Just to the extent that We reject
the evil and lay hold Of the good.
God is not revealed i humanity
ihrough a good and evil Consciousness
Whocycr insists upon owning such a
consciousness has not therefore par
taken Of the resurrection. This Ii:cl
is or that should receive more
consideration at the hands
OF all Christian people, for it most
yftally concerns the welfare of all hu-
manit!
God All Power.
One of the very first things which
the student OF, Christian Science does
after gaining even a faint glimpse Of
the truth OF his being is to give ali
power 10 good and one to evil. The
door to the kingdom OF heaven is
opened to him the moment he does
this. Then he wonders why he spent
SO many years in believing in two
powers while calling one of them ON
nipotent.
Wherever the Christ activity has
begun to find expression in individual
consciousness, behold a better man or
woman one who is more practical,
more honest, NOR Glowing, more sym
pathetic, more generous, more con-
sfderate, more capable in every re-
spect. Disobedience to Gods law Is
retards normal human progress.
while obedience TO it leads immedi-
ately to a present participation in all
that makes for the mental, moral and
physical upiift Of humanity.
Mrs. Eddy.
Mary Baker Eddy, the acknowledg-
ed Diseoyerer and Founder of Christ
ian Science, was a truly wonderful
woman. Her genuine nobility OF
Character, her intensely religious ma
ture. her unbounded love for God n
humanity, her untiring labors for the
good of mankind, her sublime courage
and trust, made her n of the worlds
greatest of modern religious Leaders
and Teachers. The n dominating
feature of her life was that she had
learned the meaning of Love, n
how to reflect it toward friend and
alike. She claimed no infallibil-
ity nor sought any personal aggrand-
izement. Those who knew her best
affirm that she was a wise spiritual
counsel or and a true friend.
Christian Science did not originate
In Mrs. Eddy's human mind. It was
the Christ idea of the oneness and
allness of divine Mind that found ex-
preston In her purified mentality.
She had reached a purified mental
height which made it possible for the
Christ consciousness to assert itself
as the law and dominion of good. She
yielded willing and loving obedience
to this spiritual evangel, and as q re-
suit OF this obedience Christian heal
ing Id again an established fact IN
our midst. The Christian Science
textbook, Science and Health with
Kew 10, the Scriptures" is the natural
and logical outcome of Mrs. Eddy,s
unsettled devotion and fidelity to the
suirituai idea. The dawnfng Of tbs
spiritual idea I'M Mrs. Eddy's love
chastened consciousness is the great
est mental phenomenon that could
ever be experienced bya human be
ing. Its Importance to the human
race Is beyond comparison. Il Is tn

humbly appropriate it and begin e

The Christ method Of learning Lift
is made plain in Christian Science. 4

and Old alike may readily adopt 4
