SCIENTIST, BOSTON, MASS.
Bicknell Young. c. S. b., member of
the board of lectureship of the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston.
Mass, delivered an interesting address
before a large audience, Thursday
evening, in the Palmetto club house
on orange avenue. taking christian
Science" for his subject. Mr. Young
gave a brief history of the church and
explained some of the main tenets of
the faith, being accorded close atten-
ton by his hearers. The lecturer
spent several years abroad to better
fit himself to speak on Christian
Science and only recently returned to
this country to go upon the lecture
platform for the church.
Mr.. Young's address was, in part,
as follows:
Ordinary systems Of education ac-
cept the evidence of the senses as to
mans being and destiny. and in so
tive conditions of human experience.
Ordinarily accepted religious views al
50 coincide with such teaching, for
they inculcate the idea that when evil
has finally overcome a human being
and destroyed him, then he will be
immortal None of these systems hold
out the hope that there will ever be
any present evidence of the destruc,
ton Of evil and the triumph of the hui
man being, but on the contrary all
agree in accepting the evidence of the
senses which indicate the destruction
Of man and the triumph of evil.
Now whatever may be thought of
Christian Science from the standpoint
of old education, it has the unquestion-
able advantage of being logical and
consistent. 1t shows Enthusiastically
that human being, however much of
sinner he may be, needs to be re-
deemed rather than destroyed. and
that it is the proper business of both
science and religion to heal him of
his disease and to redeem him from
his sins so Enthusiastically that both
the healing and the redemption shall
appear
The True Is Available.
There has never been anything true
that was not available to mankind or
would not have been if they had been
enough awake to perceive that it was
true. Truth has always existed
What then is the Christ that 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, and enabled
the disciples to save others, from
what? From something that God had
aii!llcted them with? Materially, limi-
tatlon, fears, diseases, sins, death?
No. it was to save them from that
which God never gave them at all!
mat which God had given them they
did not need to be saved from-that
winch human ignorance allotted to the
human race is what we all need to be
saved from, and Christ comes and ever
VIII come in thought through power,
through ideas that reveal God, to save
Us from those things until those things
snail be no more, and step by step
""akenlng more in the image of good,
We snail find eventually that we are
not human but naturally divine; and
mat is salvation.
Christian Science Explains.
