Mr.. Chadwick said:
There are no other two words in the
human vocabulary which are attract
Ing more thoughtful attention through
out the world today than Christianity
and Science. Some still seriously OBJ
ject TO any intimate association Of
these words. but may ii not be that the
present worldwide interest in the sub
ject Of Christian Science is due to the
met that Mrs. Eddy was the one IN this
age TO discover the scientific unity be-
tween Christianity and Science? Prior
20 her discovery there seemed to be
very little In common between them.
BY many they we're looked upon as
polar opposites. Mrs. Eddy through
spiritual discernment brought these
mistermed positive and negative poles
together. and, behold, a light whose
resplendent rays are penetrating to
the four corners or the gicbet
Il Is the purpose of this lecture to
tell YOU something Of the mission Of
religion of right ideas known in this
age as Christian Science, and present
ed 10 the world In its textbook,

In the evolution of human thinking
Il Is becoming more and more evident
that we live In thought world. What
ever confronts us must be of mental
procurement else there could be no
mental or conscious recognition Of IL.
What does the eye behold but mental
image pictured on the retina? We see
thoughts because we think them.
Things are thoughts and thoughts are
things. Divest human existence of all
thought and there would be nothing
left 70 see, hear. touch, taste or smell.
Without thought there would be moth
Ing to think or to talk about

no one TO hear II, sound must be men
tai n there is no sight, touch, taste
or smell in the absence OF any mind
or mentality, then sight, touch, taste
and smell are mental not material
Everything cognizable 10 the senses is

OF baseball Is an exhibition of thought.
Dipoft II Of all thought and there would
be no ball game. The Twentieth Cen

manifestation Of thought. An aero
plane In flight is thought in motion.
Without thought II could never have

creative governing intelligence Of the
universe, eternal and Interchangeable.
This Is the Mind that the great Apos-
tie referred to when he said: Let this
mind be In you, which was also in
Christ Jesus" This is the Mind that
Jesus employed to heal the sick and
sinful, to still the tempest, and to
raise the dead. He referred to it as
eDay Father, and your Father"
my God, and your God" This Mind

And Ged said, Let us make man in
our image. after our likeness" This
