Dr.. Hubbard's address follows:
There has never been time in hui
man history when men have not
yearned for some sure way to be rid
Of those conditions Of body and mind
which have destroyed their happiness.
or kept them from the full enjoyment
Of life and peace. They have turned
from one material method to another
In the vain search for physical relief,
too often to be told that there was no
further hope. They have found it Inn
possible to escape in any great degree
from sorrow or worry, discord or de-
spair, until they have come to believe
that these conditions must in large
measure be endured. More and more
through this failure to be rid of their
sickness and woes have men been
turning away from materiality and
cropping for something more satisfying
to meet their needs. They have often
prayed to God for healing when in
sickness or distress. but only &C.
casionally did the healing come, and
then it was thought that God had set
aside the existing order OF things for
the one occasion and as special mark
Of favor. It has only been since the
advent OF Christian Science that prim-
tive Christian healing has been re-
stored to the world, and we are learn
ing through the understanding Of the
Principle of Christian Science and the
application Of its rules, that we may
confidently expect healing in every
case. and that there is a spiritual law
sufficient for every material condition.
Christian Science was discovered
and founded by Mary Baker Eddy, a
woman of unusual spirituality and Of
a deep religious sense. She was q con-
sistent and tireless analytical student,
and through years marked by sickness
and trials her deep religious sense led
her to strive to see and to understand
the divine Principle in every benefit
which she received. This persistent
search for Truth was rewarded by the
discovery Of the divine laws of God,
which she named Christian Science.
For three years following her dis
covery Mrs. Eddy devoted all Of her
time to a deep study of the Scriptures,
seeking a solution of this problem.
These are her own words (Science and
Health, p. 1907: Il knew the Principle
OF all harmonious Mind-action to be
God. and that cures were produced in
primitive Christian healing by holy,
uplifting faith; but must know the
Science of this healing, and won my
way to absolute conclusions through
divine revelation, reason. and demon
stration. The revelation of Truth in
the understanding came to me grad
ually and apparently through divine
power"
To have discovered Gods law Of
healing as taught and practiced by
Jesus and his followers meant that
Mrs. Eddy must have approached the
Scriptures with such thought of God
as Love that she saw it-was impossible
for God to do less than to provide all
GOOD for His children, and such con-
sciousness Of God as Truth that she
knew Gods truth was revealed.
Z Mrs. Eddy's study Of the Scriptures
revealed the fact that the entire Bible
record teaches conclusively that a
right understanding Of God has always
brought dominion over all material
conditions. and that when the knowl-
edge Of Truth has been correctly APP
piled it has always been attended by
Mailing and regeneration. The Scrip
&Nres abound in evidence that to un-
derstand God brings healing. Especial
