great temptation 10 express TO you some
Of the results | have observed of your
work here in this city; not only OF
benefit to individuals, but also in the
social uplift and advancement Of its citi-
zenship. But YOU have come not TO lis
ten to me, but to hear another discuss
some of the great fundamental princi-
pies which we are all anxious to learn
about; TO learn something more of the
great universal truth Man, since his
creation, has been seeking to discover
and interpret the law Of life; the law
that governs and controls life and liv-
ing. that makes for righteousness and II
followed will bring all men in harmony
with the spirit and God. There have
been great conflicts in Interpretation and
teachings Much has been rejected, but
we have today a more spiritual interpre-
tation than ever before, and believe
that eventually we will have full knowl-
edge and understanding of that law or
truth th.t is in full accord with right
eousness and in complete harmony with
the spirit.
zone OF the latest interpretation is
through the teachings Of Christian
Science. While many of us are not
acquainted with or do not have an
accurate knowledge Of those inter-
pretations we know that the basic
principle Of its ethics Is righteous
ness, and we have observed, as said
Hon. Joseph e. Warner. that II
teaches its apostle to think; that II
banishes many ills and much mental
disquietude that IL purposes a high
type OF citizenship that it illumines
life with the thought of every pres
cnt Deity: that It urges quiet exam
pie in place Of pharisaical display;
that II regards the spirit and not the
letter: that II places principle above
person. and prefers practice to pro-
fession.
1--WE are all interested in these
teachings that have accomplished so
much. We will all be delighted TO
hear a discussion OF Christian Sci
ence. II gives we great pleasure to
