Iivers Fine Address, Synopsis
,E of Which Follows.

The attendance at the scientist lee,
ture at the opera house last Thursday
evening was not as large as had been
hoped for owing to the stormy night
but those present speak highly of Clar-
ence w. Chadwick, who spoke. Mr..
Chadwick is member of the board
of lectureship of the mother church,
The First Church of Christ, scientist,
in Boston, but makes his headquarters
at Omaha.
Below we print brief outline of his
address:
Our Leader
Mrs. Eddy's vision Of the Christ not
only healed her of the effects of So
called fatal accident, but enabled her
to reach a purified, mental height.
where she could spiritually discern the
deep things of God and give them to
the world. Her whole earthly life,
from childhood. was one continuous
search after spiritual things. She for
sock all to follow Christ, and behold
the result-a discovery which is
bringing untold blessings to the en-
tire world. She named her discovery
Christian Science. She was, to use her
own words, "only a scribe echoing the
harmonies of heaven in divine meta
physics" (The First Church of Christ,
Scientist, and the Miscellany, p. 115)
consequently she had no excuse to Of
fer for inditing the pages of Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
lures. The world owes a profound
debt Of gratitude to this noble woman
for what is contained In this most
unique book. There are many thous-
ands who can testify that the Bible
was sealed book before Science and
Health came to them.
Mrs. Eddy, as the Discoverer and
Founder OF Christian Science, fought
the good fight and bravely won her
laurels. Her works which have fol-
lowed her have proved her one of the
greatest of religious Leada ars and
Teachers.
Mrs. Eddy's Discovery.
1t was in the year 1866 that Mrs.
Eddy made the all-important discov-
cry that "all causation was Mind, and
every effect a mental phenomenon"
(Retrospection and lntrospection, p.
24)
BY Mind she means not the carnal
or mortal mind which sis enmity
against God" but the one Infinite,
supreme, governing intelligence of the
eternal and Interchangeable.
Health and Disease.
Christian Scientists are naturally a
great deal more interested in the sub
ject of health than in disease. They
have found out that the right idea of
health when intelligently presented,
to humanity, is far more contagious
than the thought Of disease. They do
not believe in falling sick and then
having to become proficient in the
human knowledge of disease. before
learning how to be we'll. They have
learned that health is the normal con-
lition of man in Christian Science;
and that disease is mistake of the
right understanding of health as an
attribute of God.
II sickness and suffering are of
God, Jesus would not have healed
them. Nor could Christian Science
heal them today if they are a part of
the divine consciousness. The right
dea or conception of God reveals
them as human mistakes, or err
rors of mortal thinking; and only as
The Christ Mind is put on and the
carnal or mortal mind put off, can
such mistakes be corrected or de-
stroyed. In other words, Christ is the
3ne and only Savior of mankind; and
Mrs. Eddy defines Christ as the
