the board of lectureship of The Mother
church, the First Church of Christ
Scientist, in Boston, Mass, delivered
a lecture last evening at the Strand
theater in this city on the subject of
"Christian Science" The lecture was
well attended and well received Mr.
rSeeley said in part:
In her explanation of Christian Sci
.ence Mrs. Eddy has pointed out with
keen discernment the total dissimilar-
ity between Mind and matter, mind
representing intelligence, matter, non
intelligence. She boldly rejected the
theory that intelligence or thought
could come from non-intelligent mat
ter, and acc epted the one reasonable
premise that intelligence must come
from Mind, and that all thought and
life is the outcome and expression of
Mind She did not attribute matter
or evil to the one intelligent cause,
Mind, because both express ignorance,
discord and limitation, which are con-
trary to intelligence.
For every fact we know in our daily
life we may suppose it's opposite
the lie about it, So in the universal
order Mrs. Eddy discerned that evil
and all that is mortal and material
lis but the suppositions or supposed
opposite of Gods creation, which is
the good and eternal. Thus does
Christian Science unite, not cut the
Gordian knot of mind and matter. the
puzzle of the ages.
The human mind sometimes stands
aghast when told that matter is only
mental phenomena. IT perchance amy
of you may feel shocked at this asser-
ton you will be interested to know
that physical scientists are now ad-
uniting what Mrs. Eddy asserted long
before, namely, that matter is indeed
phenomena, the eXternalized concepts
of the human mind. A prominent phy-
steal scientist in one of the best known
European universities has within the
past few years said, Matter is thing
of thought which we have constructed
for ourselves" Another says, THE
universe as known to us consists Who'll
Iy of mind. and matter is
a doubtful and uncertain inference
of the human intelligence"
Since God cannot evolve anything
unlike Himself, man must possess the.
same quality and substance as his
creator. Jesus said, Il and my Faith
err are one" If we fail to recognize
the relationship between God and man
here indicated, we fail to grasp the
basic truth of being, the vital part Of
Christianity, the very key to the saliva
ton of mankind This oneness of
man with God in quality but not in
quantity is indeed the doctrine OF
atonement as Christian Science ex--.
plains it. or the doctrine Of atone
ment. Seen in the light of Christian
Science the doctrine of atonement is
no longer q human doctrine but,,a
spiritual fact, namely, mans natural
and eternal oneness with God, divine
Mind.
In place of an obscure, mysterious,
or doubtful concept of God and HIS
creation. Christian Science unfolds, as
we have shown, the true idea or sci
entific concept of God and man, which
is the cornerstone of right thinking
and living and the way to Christian
healing The coming of this true IDEA
of God and man in your consciousness
and mine, is the coming Of the CHRIST
that is to free US from the bondage
of evil and destroy all disease. 1t is
important that we understand Just
what is meant bv the Christ. Christ
is defined on pages s83 of the Chris
uan Science textbook. Science and
