ed Mrs. EddyS discovery as the re-
vealed Word of God to this age. And /
why? Because they have heard its
message of ION earth peace, good Will
toward men," have felt its healing
touch of Truth; have experienced the
influence of the "quickening spirit
of divine Love, lifting thought to
higher planes of thinking and living;
and are supremely happy in having
learned how to make practical appl-
cation of the Masters teaching,
thereby to work out their own saliva
ton.
If there are any who are still in
clined to ask Has Christianity fail
ed? let them study the effect Of
.Ihristian Science upon the lives oil
Ihose who have in sincerity accepted
it's inspired teachings; let them OBJ
serve the marvellous transformation in
health and morals of many with whom
they are personally acquainted; let
them note how selfishness and I'M
kindness have given place to unset
fishness and kindness; how the spirit
of giving has taken possession OF
\ these people, even to the extent OF
Aurrendering all to follow Christ; let
them observe their loyalty and pa
triotism in the hour of their country's
need, and then let them say whether
Christianity is a failure.
The Science of Christianity never
fails: but humanity may fail to obey
it's precepts. Such failure on its part
is due to wrong ideals and careless
thinking. How to obey the Ten Com
mandments and the Sermon on the
Mount is a problem not yet complete
ly and satisfactorily solved in the
minds of a large majority of Christian
believers. If the divine revelation OF
Christian Science to this age can solve
this vital problem it will be because
this Science can offer convincing
proof to the world that it is nothing
less than the right thinking OF Jesus
Christ put into practice.
1t will be the purpose of this lecture
to tell you something of the mission
of this religion of right thinking as
presented to the world in its text
book. Science and Health with Key
to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy.
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 Lille,
from childhood, was one continuous
search after spiritual things. She Tor
sock all to follow Christ, and behold
tie result-a discovery which is
Nringing untold blessings to the en-
Z tire world.
Mrs. Eddy named her discovery
Oh 70
own words. "only a scribe echoing the
harmonies of heaven in divine meta
nhvsics" (The First Church of Christ
Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 1l5)
consequently, she had no excuse to OIL
fer for inditing the pages of Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
tures. The world owes a profound
Nebt of gratitude to this noble woman
fAc what is contained in this mos
unioue book. Many thousands vii
testify that the Bible was sealed
hook before Science and Health cam'
to them.
Mrs. Eddy as the Discoverer ant
Founder of Christian Science, Tough
the good fight and bravely won he
laurels. Her works which have fol
lowed her have proved her one OF tn
greatest of religious Leaders ant
Teachers.
Mrs. Eddy's Discovery
IT was in the year 1866 that Mrs
Eddy made the all-important dlscoV
ery that "all causation was Mind, an
every effect a mental phenomenon.
(Retrospection and Introspection,
24).
Nv Mind she means not the carna
or mortal mind which lis emit
against Cod" but the one infinite
supreme, governing, intelligence OF tn
universe, eternal, and Interchangeable
This is the Mind that the great apps
tie referred to when he said: Le
this Mind be in you, which was ais
my God, and your Cod" This Min
that Jesus employed to heal the SIC
and sinful, to still the tempest, an
to raise the dead He referred to
as my Father, and your Father; =
"my God. and yoru God" This Min
is the "us" mentioned in Genesis 1:2t
land God said, Let us make man
our image, after our likeness
1t is this clear-cut conception
Mind as elucidated by Mrs. Edd
that is changing the religious though
of the whole world. Not since the da;
of Jesus and his apostles has any 7
legious denomination except tnat
&ristian Science said to its follf
ers: There is one infinite, all-g
Mind; and this Mind is God, or
It,, who is of purer eyes than tc
hold evil " This Mind is omr
. tence, omnipresence, and omnlscle
infinite and indivisible therefore can
er in nor of matter; never in aIpie
terial body. ny ~
It seems almost needless to Eel
in presence of the widely acknownos
ed fact, that the reception by'ow-
world of this enlarged conceI TINS
right idea of Mind has already ~ Oh
