CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LECTURE
 BY ENGLISH SpEAKEE


 An audience of 150 that occupied all the seating room in the post hall at the Buckingham Memorial, heard with much pleasure and interest on Thurs day night a lecture by John ". Doorly, c. s. B., of Leeds. England, upon Christian Science, Mans Eternal Birthright.
 The lecturer came here under the auspicel of the Norwich Christian Science church and was introduced by E. w. Root. He spoke for about an hour, in part as follows:
 Christian Science accepts Christ Je- sus' command, "Be ye therefore per feet, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect as a practical com mand and one which he we'll knew could be obeyed by all who would strive to obey it. Indeed Christian Science says that if Jesus had given such command knowing that it could not be fulfilled. his action would have been inexpIicable.
 Let us consider then these two questions which the world needs to 1 solve before it can be saved from evil
 The two questions are: CD What is God? (2) What is man?
 ] Christian Science teaches that God is incorporeal, divine. supreme, inf 1 nite mind, spiri, soul, principle, life, truth, love" What then must man.

 Mrs. Eddy has blessed humanity l abundantly by revealing to them that
 because God is divine mind, therefore all right thinking, or spiritual under standing, is based on and emanates from this one mind, God. and is con- Esequentiy with power.
 Just lay hold on this fact, that be-
 cause God is divine mind or is that
 which knows and knows truly. there
 fore the truth we know is Immanue
 or God with us. When you realize
 this, wou will have touched the hen
 of Christ's robe. You will also have
 begun to realize how true happiness
 true holiness, true health, and true life can be obtained and retained The problem is therefore to see how wC can begin practically to entertain true thoughts which originate in the di. vine mind, God, or how we can besiT . to have that mind which was also ir Christ Jesus and which will deliver u: from the so-called carnal mind ant . from it's effect, mortality. with it's ma ) terial thinking, it's sinful thoughts, it: i. sick thoughts, and it's death thoughts [ Tn healing disease the Christian 1 Scientist does not have recourse t ] drugs, the potency of which in an! ]. case is doubtful and the effects O [ which are frequently worse than tn 3 disease, but he relies on the power 0 } the divine mind. God. Is he then t f be considered fanatical and nonintelli 2 gent because he prefers to rely on tn g infinite power and intelligence of the

 The daily consecration of Chris; 7 tian Scientist, and his constan. striv . ing to live above the human and in ac 2 ccrd with the divine, is and foreve l. has been the greatest healing inituenc alone that can cleanse the leper an s cause the lame man to leap with jp, J.
