In discussing the subject OF Chris
tlan Science. II is my purpose TO tell
you something Of ita disCOverer and
founder. Mary Baker Eddy; some
thing Of my experience In changing
from the practices OF medicine to that
Of Christian Science. and to state
briefly some phases Of itH logical
reasoning, and the results following
its application.
Every advanced idea, every un-
foldmrnt OF truth. has come To the
world through the avenue Of some
human Intelligence. Whoever has
discovered or presented truth has
done NO only because his funidricn-
tai qualities, nodded by environment
and education, have made such a one
n suitable channel for the presenta-
tion OF u particular idea. II was not

type OF thought through which they
came.
MIRA Eddy was peculiarly fitted not
only for the discovery OF Christian
Science. but for It's presentation and
explanation. She was naturally ana
inevitRblyr author OF the Christian
Science textbook, "Sajcnce and
Health with Key TO the Scriptures. y"
From early childhood she manifested
n deeply religious nature, She was
a tlreless student and investigator
In addition to these qualities, she
was POSSESSED OF an ability as n
writer, so that from girlhood she was
contributor both In poetry and
prose to representative New England
publications.. Those who RrO famil-
lar with Mrs. Eddys work marvel at
the immense capacity for independ
ent thinking and research which she
manifested. She tells us that she al
ways felt lmpelled to hunt for the
law OF healing. She says During
20 years prior to my diScoVcry ! had
been trying TO trace all physical ef-
fects to n mental cause, and In the
latter part OF 1866 gained the sCien-
tiflc certainty that all causation was

nomenon." C"Retrospccuon and In.

No wonder that this persistent
and unselfish search for truth should
have been rewarded 10y the discovery
OF Christian Science!
How Discovery Was Made.
For three years following her dis.
covery Mrs. Eddy devoted all Of her
time To a deep study of the Scriptures,
seeking n solution uf lite's problems
This investigation revealed the fact
that the entire Bible record teaches
conClusivcly that n right understand.
ing OF God has always brought do
mirion over all material conditions
and that when the knowledge Of
truth has been correctly applied II
has always been attended by healing
and regeneration. The ScriPturcy
abound In evidence that to under
stand God brings healing.
The fact that healing and the
knowledge OF truth by which We are
to get healing has been passed over
as not meant for this time or for all
mankind, has been due to no fault of
the Bible in presenting 1t, hut to our
attitude OF thought In approaching
H. Because we had been educated to
believe that physical healing must be
brought about by material means We
had not deemed II possible that God
had provided spiritual healing from
sickness and every form Of error, So
VIC unCunsCiously studied the Bible
own preconceivcd notions about what
II ought to teach.
Although the Scriptures declare
that man Is made In God $ image and
likeness, and is upright and holy, We
have rather hunted for those state
ments which pictured a Carnal man
as sick, and SHINING, and fallen.
We are led through the study ~
Christian Science To try to stop view
ing man as sick and SHINING and 60
accept the fact Of his righteousness
and domison, which IL insisted upon
throughout the Bible. ard to under.
