day afternoon when Mr.. Clarence c.
Eaton of the board of lecturership of

delivered his address on Christian
Science" Mr.. Eaton. who is gentle
man of pleasing mannerism and per
sonality, as well as fluent, entertain
ing talker, was introduced to the as
semblage by Mr.. Fred Fell of this city.
In presenting the speaker Mr.. Fell
said:
THE world seems to be in the grip
of mighty upheayal, man against
man and nation against nation. each
striving to subvert and gain advantage
of his fellow. Misery. want, and woe
seem to be coming on with over in
creasing momentum, battling the ef-
forts of the greatest intellects to
escape from each new found human
problem of seeming adversely. The
newspapers throughout the land are
flashing their headlines of crime, pow
erty, violence, disease. and death on
every side. From out this encircling
maelstrom of bewildering discord and
unrest comes the human cry for help.
There are those who believe they
can find relief In the excitement Of
plea sure's pursuit. While others are
! plungiug still deeper into the pit, led
blindly on by the anurements Of earth
ly possession and its fancied power
But there are others who are turning
their faces upward and away listening
to the voice Of him that crieth in the
wilderness'-'An ye who labor and are
hesyy laden. come unto me and will
give you rest
Christian Scientists the world over
are grateful beyond any possible ade-
quate expression by word of mouth for
the understanding Of the Christ Truth
as given to them by their leader, Mrs.
Eddy. whose purity and consecration
to God enabled her to discern Alright
lis Word and make 1t plain TO the
earnest repentant seeker and the
weary wanderer in the desert. The
understanding vi this Christ Truth as
unfolded In Christian Science, awakens
tired humanity to the realization that
primitive Christianity in all its origi-
nal purity as taught by our Master.
Christ Jesus. has been restored again
10 the world and In the ethical teach
ings of this Master Metaphysician. the
greatest man that erer trod the globe,
is to be found the means Of escape
from every form of human woe, Of
whatever nature. be It physical. moral,
or financial. when understood. as It can
be. in the light of Christian Science
embodiment.
We have with us today one who is
qualified to speak on the subject of
Christian Science. being a member Of
the Board OF Lectureship Of the
Mother church. the First Church of
Christ Scientist, Boston. Massachu-
sets. 1t is my privilege and pleasure
TO introduce Mr.. Clarence C. Eaton
The full text of Mr.. Eaton's dis.
course follows:
How true and yet how difficult of
realization is the great fact that each
new moment of each new hour is the
only moment of which any of us can
be conscious, Our yesterdays, with
their joys and sorrows, are gone;
they belong to the dead past Our
tomorrows. with their hopes and anti
cipations. never come. 1t is quite
evident. that the present and not the
succeeding moment is the one in
which We consciously exist. II is
likewise self-evident that all that can
ever come within the range of our
know ledge and experience must exist
now.
Col Truth. life: man, Immortality,
heaven, bliss. eternity. in fact. all the
verities of ieirg, are in existence now.
No one can consistently believe that
the past has ontomhed any verities
which are not in evidence in this pres
ent time, be aIise all that is true is
eternal Nor can we conceive of the
future bo'fng within its grasp a
hnowledre OF things which has not
alwayr isted, because all true
knowled is universal and eternal.
Obviously. as we can know and enjoy
the ver'HeE OF being. we should be
profoundly interested In demonstrat-
ing their truth at this very moment.
1t requires tactful. patient and low

courage people TO realize that there
is contained In the simple act OF &C.

pfing, all that Is necessary for
their extrication from sin and disease.
