YOUNG LECTURES ON
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Talks at Noon to Business Men
and Says Real Business
is Honorable.
TELLS OF LAWS OF LIFE

Bicknell Young, c. S. B., member
OF the Christian Science Board Of
Lectureship, spoke at noon at the
Boyd theater. He was introduced by
Robert Cowell and said in part:
MY kind friend introducing me
here has spoken OF the war which
seems to have involved the greater
part OF the civilized world. As he
has so we'll remarked, it is clear that
no such condition could come about
through Christianity, but rather be-
cause Of the lack of it. Now, Chris
tianity, or the lack OF it, is not al
outward thing Its presence is an
inward grace. Its absence is mere
ignorance OF God. The practical rem
edy for war and everything else is
self evidently enlightment, for such
enlightment would change the views
Of human beings and redeem them
from their false desires, including all
selfishness.
christian Science explains itself in
such Z way as to make its practical
value both clear and demonstrable.
Just as Christianity fully understood
and lived would make war impossible,
so Christianity understood and lived
would not only harmonize nations,
but necessarily harmonic the rela-
tionship Of individuals to each other,
thus touching business intimately and
redeeming it from much that today
tends to perpetuate fear and uncer-
tainty. Fear, indeed, often constitutes
the whole trouble with business.
When business is bad fear makes it
worse. When it is good, fear Is around
in the background prophesying that
business will be bad and that we must
prepare for bad business or no BUSH
ness.
Real Business Helps All.
Business blesses the one who sells
andI the one who buys IL it be real
business, for only such business has
any relationship at all to Divine prin-
ciple. Now these ideas are not con-
fined to small areas. They are not
parochial, they are not sectional, they
are even more than national, for hav-
ing their being in God, they must be
universal in their application and
law.
MARY Baker Eddy in the year 1866
discovered Christian Science. She
says that that discovery was dis
covery of the laws Of life. Clearly
law could not be discovered in ma
teriality, because intelligence does not
reside there. Law is found only in
the realm Of the mind. Consequently
her discovery OF Christian Science in
volvcd new kind Of research which
was not less scientific than other kinds
but more scientific. She carried on
research in the realms of aspiration,
idealism, spiritual truth,
and through such research perceived
Divine facts and their scientific ma
ture, and then she saw that the
method Of Jesus Christ was unques-
tionably that Of maintaining such
facts in the face Of all human diff
fculties or appearances that seemed
to be contrary to them.
In this in many respects Mrs.
Eddy was unique genius, and her
method Of establishing the law of
good among men has been found so
efiicacious that il has not only re-
deemed human character from sin
and vice and healed human beings in
thousands Of instances from the dis
eases that are generally regarded as
incurable. but also has introduced into
the business world the Divine princi-
pie with its helpfulness, its healing
and Its regeneration for all the rela-
tionships Of men and governments"
