What you may lcarr and apply of 1t here on earth not only brings you q present reward but adds to your equipment here after Why. then. should you wait?
 Because Christian Science is not
 religion of waiting put of immedi
 ate action and prompt results; be-
 cause it Is the religion of the pres
 ent as well as the future; because
 il puts joy into life and helps us to
 overcome death and because in all Its ministrations it pushes aside the
 transiiory forces of the human will
 and tha human mind and grasps in-
 stead the available and unlimit-
 ed powers If the divine Mind. God Himself for these reasons it's univer- , sal appeal i' being gladly heard by
 every class end type of humankind. Naturally t may be asked, How is
 the investigator to acquire a prac- tical knowledge of this Science. foI which so much is claimed?
 The Textbook and It's Author Every science should be rightly ; learned from its textbook and Christ ian Science is no exception to this rule Besides the Bible there is but one textbook of Christian Science. the book Science and Health with
 Key to the Scriptures" oy Mary Baker EddN, the book that has won it's way into the hearts and lives of unnum- 1 hered men and women and children who have found in it a puiet friend whose silent influence IS mighty
 power for good.
 | IL is an unfailing guide to the man l of action who would avoid mistakes
 and traps and frutless undertakings ] II is a well-filled medicine chest

 Of despair with the brightness of hope: that has rebuilt character re- stored regulations. and reunited the ! separated. the book that witL the
 Bible has become the spiritual men

 earnest men and women in every part of the Christianized world.
 1 IL IS perhaps unnecessary to inform
 this audience that the Discover and Founder of Christian Science and the
 author of it's textbook was woman "a gentle woman. Mary Baker Eddy
 You may know too that for years she
 stood alone, ,-one lone woman against
 the whole world.-Opposed and as-
 sailed bv the world of theology oi medicine. of established usage, oi
 tradition Of conservatism opposed
 by the world of intellect and of ig-
 norance of common sense and un-
 common sense. of bisotry and cruelty
 rIdicuic and falsity. and ever pursued
 by the human and inhuman hatred oi
 truth. All these forces were fol years arrayed against this one woman
 and the message God had placed IT , her hands to deliver to humanity But she was never daunted or dis : mayed by anything the world. th, flesh. or evil might try to do to her
 fUr she never let go of the hand O. r God
 } Never in modern times has a spirit ! ually minded woman been SO reient
 lessly abused without cause and he D message so maligned and misrepre D sented from pulpit. press and plat l form. Yet in all the years of perse l cutiOn which Mrs. Eddy suffered. no { one word of retaliation or rcsentmen dropped from her tongue or pen. Sh never returned evil for evil. And I as z sers th.s not as a matter Of hecTsay Q = opinion, but from personal knowledg
