EJohna4ta&dail Dunn. CO. Of st. Louis,
member Of the Christian Science board
q lectureship, delivered an address IN
the course Of which he discussed sew
efall Of the ideas and teachings UNDER;
lying Christian Science. Mr.. D9pn
Who was introduced by VIM. II. Green
lsafe spoke In part as follows:

dsct of Christian Science, in this and
other lands, - traceable directly to the
met that enslaved mortals are finding
In Its spiritual teaching that liberator'
graphically pictured by Isaiah as sent
TO preach good tidtngs unto the meek;
to bind up the broken-hearted, to pro-
claim liberty to the captives. and n
opening of the prison to them that are
bound The attempts Of some m1sln-
formed critics to prove that Christian
Science is not this liberator, thai the
sfck are not healed, the SHINING re-
formed. nor the sorrowfng comforted
through its m~inistrations, are OF

OF an ever-increasing host OF witness

Living in Tragic Moment
I'VE are without doubt living in
one of the most tragic moments In
history. What does it mean? How
are I'VE to stand? Christian Science
gives the only rational explanation of.
this mighty worldwide fermentation.
1t tells us not to be dismayed. but to
realize that as the mud In a rivers bed
must be stirred and brought to the
surface in order to purify the stream,
Just SO much the latent errors of the
earth, national as we'll as individual.
be brought to the surface and carried
OFF, in order that the Kingdoms of this
world may become the kingdoms OF
our Lord ana Of His Christ. A Chris
tan Scientist cannot fail to read the
signs of the times and realize with
courage and without dismay that this
mighty international upheaval means
the blasting away Of the rocks and
stumps of tyranny aud oppression n
the preparing of the soil Of the human
consciousness for the seed of truth,
the seed OF, scientific Christianity.
Thus to say hat the world is being
made safe for democracy means that
the world is being prepared for scien-
tHic, liberating Christianity.

unadulterated spiritual teaching Of
Jesus and the prophets who preceded
him To this assertion some may say,
But I believe, and have been endeav-

Christian peoples today; hundreds Of
different sectS acknowledge Jesus AZ
their guido and their king, and then

THIS leads to endless diversity Of

Christians. : Yet b plain fact Of the

~Ths notion OF = place OF eternal
torment is absolutely foreign to the
teaching Of him whose keynote was
Love divine. In the parable of the
prodiga1 son Christ Jesus shows that
the suffering and punishment Of the
WeyWard boy were NOT inflicted by the
father, but were the results of sir, ana
lasted only while the sin lasted.
you remember, do you not, that
the young man goes into = far coun-
try ana there wastes his substance
with riotous living" And we read
that when he had spent all, there
% q mighty famine in the land;
ana he began to be in want. And he
went and poined himself to . citizen OF
that country, and he sent him into his
fields to feed swine. And he fain would
have filled his belly with the
husks that the swine did eat: and no
man gave unto him.
