MEMORIAL day SERMON
AT first ME. CHURCH
DR.. Burgan Preached Last Night
to Veterans-National
Hymns Sung.
AMERICA AND WORLD SERVICE. ;
Thou Host Given Banner to Them
That Fear There That it May be
DISPLAYED Because of the Truth.

Singing national hymns and with
the presence of veterans of the Civil
War who occupied front seats, servi-
ces last night in the First Methodist
Episcopal church were Of a patriotic
nature.
The occasion was the Sunday nearest
Memorial Day, tomorrow, May 80,
and the pastor, the Rev. DR.. Harry W.
Burgan, preached Memorial Day SER
mon, the subject being America and
World Service" DR.. Burgan took
for his text: Thou hast given a ban
ner to them that fear thee, that il may
be displayed because of the truth"
Psalm. 60-4. He spoke, in part, as
follows:
I'VE apply this text to our own
country three questions confront us.
Did our fathers fear God? Did God
give TO them their flag?
If so. for what purpose was it given?
1t is not too much to say that the
chief motive that prompted the colo
nists to settle on the shores of North
America was the desire to worship
God according to the dictates of the
individual conscience. Then, too, the
attitude to our faith ers right before
and during the revolutionary struggle
was that of men who believed in
God who presides over the destinies
of nations, and in prayer they sought
His guidance. Yes, our fathers did
fear God.
ITO the second question was given
the same answer. God reserved this
country for the people who afterwarG
occupied it. His hand was seen in the
revolutionary war, in the dark days
which followed, and He led America as
she went from conquest to conquest.
In the civil strife God was there. This
is the darkest chapter of our hist Iry.
Men from the north and from the south
Americans all-fell in death, con-
tending for what they believed to be
right. We do well to honor the men,
DRY of these devoted men who gave
their lives for the land they loved.
We cannot honor them too much
While we do it more and more, let Us
remember that peace hath its heroes
as well as war.
with the gift of the flag God gave
to America mission. 1t is the mis-
sion of world service. Our fathers
taught us this. 1t is written large
on the pages of our history. America
for service. When we cease to serve,
we perish. In this present day of
world catastrophies America must not
grow rich at the expense of bleeding
nations. She stands ready to serve in
bringing about world peace, and in
helping the world as it energies from
this awful war. We talk of prepared
ness. There is not money enough to
equip navy sufficiently strong, or men
enough to form an army large enough
to protect the Stars and Stripes if
by self-indulgence, luxury, and I'M
righteousness America shall so weak
en- her manhood that her sons will
forget her mission and cease to serve
the world. 1t is not guns, or ships,
but righteousness that exalteth ma
tions, and righteousness is spelled in
terms of service"

God, there are many who have honest
doubts that the power of God is suffi-
cient to deliver from sickness. and
these doubts often prevent the effort
to gaia an understanding of the way
by which spiritual healing is accom-
plished.
To all such it can be said that Jesus
healed the sick without drugs, and,
what is more important to us he
taught other people how to do so, thus
proving that his method Of healing
physical disease by spiritual means
could be taught to others, and under
stood and practiced by them.
Later these same. disciples taught
the Principle of spiritual healing |
which they had learned from Jesus to
their own disciples, and history shows
that ON down through a period of |
about ten generations the healing of
the sick by spiritual means continued !,
TO be part of the regular ministry of !
the Christian CHURCH and that the dead
were raised during the first and second
centuries. Moses and the prophets al
so healed the sick and raised the dead
and did many other wonderful work.
in demonstration of the power of
spirit to meet human needs, and the /
Old Testament is filled with such in
stances.
1t will thus be seen that the knowl-
edge of its application to deliver 9eo-
pie from sickness, sin, and every kind
of evil human condition has reap
pearcd upon the earth at many times,
and il is claimed for Christian Science
that it is the temperance in our own
generation of the understanding of the
same spiritual law that was known
and understood in part by Moses and
the prophets, and which was perfectly
understood and demonstrated by Je-
sus, and by him taught to his disciples
There is no mystery about it, and the
results produced by Christian Science
are the results which have always fol
| lowed, and must necessarily follow,
! from the apprehension and demonstra-
/ ton of spiritual truth. Christian Sci
! cncc is nothing more nor less than
return to primitive Christianity, and
every one who Turns to it fairly and
/ honestly will find in it that which will
satisfy his spiritual aspirations and
meot his human needs.
! Mrs. Eddy is acknowledged to be the
! Discoverer and Founder of Christian
| Science, and many people ask what it
is that she has discovered. In reply
it can be said that she has discovered
the Law of Spirit which is Spiritual
| Truth.
Mrs. Eddy discovered the law of
Spirit as truly as Sir Isaac Newton
! discovered the law of gravitatiOn, and
this fact should be thoroughly under
| stood. just as Newton discovered that
the movements of material bodies were
regulated and governed by this mate
rial law. SO Mrs. Eddy discovered the
Principle that governs the entire uni
verse, including every detail in the
lives of men. That supreme, creative,
governing, omniprcsent Mind of Prin-
ciple, is God, the only Cause, the only
Creator, the only Ruler of man and
the universe.

lecture on this subject in Brattleboro.
The speaker was introduced by John

part:
AS it becomes more generally under
stood that through the ministry Of
Christian Science people are bcino
heaIed OF sickness, sin, unhappincss,
worry, fear, and other discordant con,
ditions, there is an ever-increasinr de.
SIRE upon the part of the general pub
hc TO learn how these results are ac-
comPlishcd. 1t is the purpose of this
lecture to explain how Christian Sci
cace does these things. There is no
mystery about Christian Science heal.
ing, nor is it difficult to understand II
can be stated without any reservation
whatever that each person who is will
ing TO do so may learn how to heal
sickness and to destroy the losire 10
sin for himself and others through
Christian Science.
In approaching the investigation of
this subject one should do so with an
open mind. Christian Science is
producing certain very definite and
very beneficial results, and it behooves
every thinking person to try to under
stand how they are accomplished.
Both in the medical profession and
among the clergy there are many such
open minded students, with the result
that some eminent physicians are now
sending to Christian Science practi
TONERS those of their patients who dc
not recover under medical treatment
while many clergvmen are openly de,
claring from their pulpits that the
fruits of Christian Science are good
and not few of them have left their
pulpits to become Christian Science
practitioners. These facts are worthy
of serious consideration.
If il is true that Christian Scienc,
IS teaching people now to rise above
sinful appetites and desires, and how
70 be healthy and happy. then surel,
ii is the greatest and most vital thin!
that can engage human thought. Tha
Christian Science does these things t
some extent at least is no longer a.
open question, and the proof of it i
to be found in the practical benefit
that have come to its adherents.
Although the healing of physica
and mental diseases by spiritual mean
was widely practiced both in Old Te'
lament and New Testament times, al
was expressly commanded by Jesu
and although Christian Science, durin
the last 30 years has actually healed /
this way large numbers of people frol
all kinds of physical and mental di
eases there are still great many pee
