CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LECTURE.
Or. Walton Hubbard Of Spokane
Speaks in This City.

A good sized audience enjoyed the
lecture on Christian Science given
Monday evening at the First Church
OF Christ, Scientist by DR.. Walton
Hubbard, Of Spokane, Wash, MEM
Der of the board Of lectureship OF the
First Church of Christ, Scientist Bos-
ton, Mass. The principle OF Christian
Science teaching was set forth by DR..
Hubbard, who said IN part:
Investigation proves that all sick
ness is mental; that Is. it Is sick
thought made manifest on the body;
and when we are wen 1t Is wen
thought which is made manifest in the
body. Every function, every acton
every condition of the body, is the eX-
preston of what We are consciously
or unconsciously thinking from one
moment to the next. AS we see thal
both sin and sickness are simply man
ifestations Of mortal thought, Thoughts
OF imperfection, we also see that oy
putting the thought of the pertecloh
of God and all that God has mace IN
place of this wrong thought we sha!'
rule out all wrong thought, and WIN
no wrong thought there can De no
wrong manifestation
The bible makes this Identical
statement when it says Put or con-
corning the former conversation inc
old man, which is corrupt according 10
the deceltrul lusts: and be renewed In
the spirit OF your mind; and put
on the new man, which after God IS
created in Righteousness and true hoN-
ness.
Tt is the putting off of the old man
and the putting on Of the new thFu
the application of the teachings o.
Christian Science, that constitutes the
healing. The thoughts OF sickness anu
sin are ruled out Of the human con.
seriousness by the understanding ana
declaration OF the perfection OF that
which God has made
DR.. Hubbard also told OF the discoV-
ery and founding OF Christian science
by Mary Baker Eddy thru her STUDY
Of the scriptures which revealed the
fat that the bible teaches that risht
understanding OF God Will nrihs
dominion over all material conoiuons.

worthy Of the position, and when you
meet him, which I trust you will,
know you will find him a congenial,
honorable, and all-around good fellow,
