CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

the explanation OF what Christian Sci
ence is and what it stands for, from
lone who is perfectly capable of talking
upon these things"
Mr.. Chadwick spoke in part as fol
lows:
The activity of right thought is nc
finite or limited capacity. Neither is II
any respecter of persons, troubles or dis
eases 1t is as natural for right thought
to heal as it is for the sun to shine. The
moment the true idea of Mind enters
individual consciousness, real construc.
tive mental work begins therein. This
idea, operating through law and as law
demands the perfect readjustment OF
finite human consciousness.
Love for Christ Jesus.
| There are no people on earth who feel
and express more genuine affection and
love for Christ Jesus than do Christian
Scientists. They not only believe but
| they understand why he is to them the
resurrection and the life" They rever-
emily acknowledge him as the Saviour
of the world, and they are striving to
keep his commandments.
Mrs. Eddy.
Mary Baker Eddy, the acknowledged
discoyerer and founder of Christian Sci
eDce, was a truly wonderful woman. Her
genuine nobility of character, her in
tensely religious nature, her unbounded
love for God and humanity, her untiring
abors for the good OF mankind, her sub
lime courage and trust, made her one of
the worlds greatest of modern religious
leaders and teachers. The one dominat-
ing feature of her life was that she had
learned the meaning of Love and how to
reflect it toward friend and foe alike.
She claimed no infallibility, nor sought
any personal aggrandizement. Those who
knew her best affirm that she was wise
spiritual counsellor and true friend.
Christian Science did not originate in
Mrs. Eddy's human mind. Ii was the
Christ idea OF the oneness and allness of
divine Mind that found expression in her
purified mentality. She had reached a
purified mental height which made it
possible for the Christ consciousness to
good. She yielded willing and loving
obedience to this spiritual evangel, and
as a result of this obedience Christian |
healing is again an established fact in |
our midst. The Christian Science text |
book, Science and Health with Key to |
the Scriptures" is the natural and logi-
cal outcome of Mrs. Eddy's unsettled de-
votion and fidelity to the spiritual idea. |
The dawning of the spiritual idea in Mrs.
Eddy's ove-chastened consciousness is
the greatest mental phenomenon that
could ever be experienced by a human
being, It's Importance to the human
race is beyond comparison. IL is 'the
and the life" to all who
numbly appropriate it and begin to live
according to its divine requirements.
