AIMS AT ALL EVIL
Lecturer Declares 1t Log
ical and Consistent Way
of Redemption.
REAL SANITATION
Is IN CLEAN MIND
Mrs. Eddy's Discovery Called
More Scientific than Any
Sense Revelation.

1--WE shall find eventually that we
are not human, but naturally divine
and that Is salvation"
That was the Interpretation OF Chris
tan Science made last night by Blck-
nell Yourg, c. $. b., member Of the
board Of lectureship Of the Christian
Science Church. He said that the creed
had the unquestionable advantage OF
being logical and consistent.
Mr.. Young spoke in the Fifth Church
OF Christ Scientist, at Madison Ave
nue. and Thirty eighth Street, where
more than 800 persons crowded the
chapel and the overflow was so large
that the lecture will be repeated to-
night He said in part:
whatever may be thought OF
Christian Science from the standpoint
of old education, it has the unquestion-
able advantage of being logical mad
consistent. II shows unmistakably
that a human being, however much OF
sinner he may be- needs 20 be re-
deemed rather than destroyed, and that
il is the proper business Of both sci
cnce and religion to heal him of his
disease and 10 redeem him from his
sins so Enthusiastically that both the

Salvation from All Evil.
"What, then, is the Christ tnat is to
save us, if we are all to be saved
through Christ? 1t Is the Christ that
was with Jesus. the Christ which en-
abled him to save others, enabled the
disciples TO save others, from what ?
From something that God has afflicted
them with? Materiality, limitation.
fears, diseases, sin. death No, it was
TO save them from that which God
never gave them at all. That which
God had given them they did not need
20 be saved from that which human
ignorance allotted TO the human race
is what we all need to be saved from,
and Christ comes and ever will come in
thought through power, through ideas
that reveal God, TO save US from those
things until those things shall be no
more. ana step by step awakening more
in The image of good, we shall find
eventually that we are not human but
naturally divine; and that is saliva
tion.
Notwithstanding the somewhat COM
mon notion that Christian Scientists
oppose sanitation and hygiene. the
fact is that they are enthusiastic be-
Levers in and advocates of both. Scru-
Tuplous cleanliness in everything Is a
lie among those who practise Chris
'ion Science. They require not only
personal cleanliness, but clean air, clean
food, clean streets, clean water, clean
clothing, clean houses. and that every
thing be clean with which they may be
associated or surrounded. And when

ence shows that little has been accom-

and very little that is worthy of the
name of sanitation. until the human
mind itself is cleaned out and kept
clean.
Lone Woman's Discovery.
IF a human De.ng uuinstructed by
Christian Science should hear of d
wonderful machine to which he could
resort at any time and have it work N
his behalf 20 remove his evil tendencies
and any Of his diseases he would be
lost in admiration at this extraordinary
invention ard he would exciaim. 'Wha,
d wonderful scientific discovery It
goes without saying that no such ma
chine has been discovered or Will be
for the simple reason that disease and
SINS are too deep seated 10 be reached
Jy any mechanical means.
There was something, however, dis
covered IN the year 1866 By lone New
England woman whose thought was
clear enough 10 perceive facts far more
scientific than any which had been re
.Calcd through the evidence Of the
senses, and who was strong enough of
purpose to set forth these thoughts In
such way that they could be dis
cerutd and ptactiscd which was Of far
greater importance to the human race
than any other discovery that has ever
been made. Christian Science as gwen
TO the world by Mary Baker Eddy is
not less scientific because it is not
mechanical or material, and It has the
advantage OF healing the diseases con-
CerCd ilcurable, thing which 10
material or mechanical thing could DO.
THE dIscovcror and founder OF
Christian Science brought to light tEdt
which was promised when Jesus said:
lie will send you the Comforter, even
,he spirit of truth, TO abide with you
forever IL is this knowledge Of the
imDersoual Saviour or Christ Truth
which constitutes both the science and
.he Christianity of Christian Science.
If Mrs Eddy had stopped at the dis
coyery Of Christian Science, hundreds
Of thousands OF people could not say
they now do say, that they arc crate
full for Christian Science. The won
derful thing that she did for mankind
wa, 70 discern the method Of Christian
Science. by means OF which any person
can begin the Transforming process
which st. Paul speaks Of, and by means
OF which one demonstrates IN some
degree the true relationship OF God and
man, by recognizing its present reality
and ayailing himself of its law
