SCIENCE LECTURE

The court room was well filed by an
appreciate audience to listen to Judge
Samuel w. Green C. S. B. of Louis
vile, Kentucky, last Monday evening.
Those who heard him were very
complimentary in their comments on
the lecture.
Judge Green's theme was Christian
Science as a Religion of Fulfillment,
the following synopsis has been fur
nishe US for publications.
The promise made through Chris
tian Science. as stated by its Dis
coverer and Founder, Mrs. Eddy, is
Divine Love always has met and al
WAYS will meet every human need"
(Science and Health, page 494.
| Christian Science is the unfolding to
human consciousness of divine Love,
and its practical application to the
healing of all human discords. Chris
tian Science is first of all a religion.
notwithstanding some of its uninform-
ed critics have not so believed. It is
the religion of Christ Jesus come
again to the world to heal the sick
and the SHINING by the same principle
or law.
Christian Science in its healing is
not a patent cure-all, nor is it blind
faith cure. 1t is not the action of
will power, nor is it the action of the
human mind. On the contrary it
teaches that the human mind must
yield to the divine Mind, to that Mind
which was also in Christ Jesus, and
in he proportion that Christian
Science is understood the life and
words of Christ Jesus become prac-
ticable for all ages and all people.
The Bible from beginning to end is
filled with the most splendid promises
fer Gods children ard&pnlsss we
may believe that these 3fos4ises are
meant for the here and now, even for
to-day, we are of all men most nriser-
able; for otherwise we are without
God and a saving religion in this life
| What the world is wanting-is seek
ing-is religion that comes to the
SEX and tells them how to be well;
that comes to the discouraged and
respondent and lifts them out of tn.
slough of despair and despond HE
! the richness, into the fullness, into
the joy, of a closer walk with God.
Christian Science is supplying this
need, through the spiritual interpreta-
/ tion of the Bible and the consequent
spiritual understanding of God, and is
enabling the world to find the rest
and the peace promised by the Master.
Contrary to some critics of Chris
tian Science, Mrs. Eddy never intend
| ed that the text book should take the
place of the Bible, but it is to be read
and studied in connection with the
4 Bible. 1t was meant to be just what
4 its name implies, a "Kev to the
/ Scriptures" and tAxt hook on Chris
! tian Science. Within the pages of
the book itself Mrs. Eddy says, GAS
adherents of Truth, we take the In
] spired Word of the Bible as our suffi-
cient guide to eternal Life
! (Science and Health, page 497.)
AS the years have come and gone
during these more than fifty years
j since Mrs. Eddy's discovery, an ever
widening circle has been covered by
! Christian Science, and an ever in
creasing host of it's adherents, mer
and women. are daily bearing wit
ness to its healing and saving power
and rendering their tribute of praise
and thanksgiving to it's revcred IBIS
coverer and Founder There is. how
ever, nothing of worship or deiiica-
tion in the attitude of Christian
Scientists toward Mrs. Eddy, bu'
rather the natural spontaneous ex
preston of gratitude, which on.
might expect from persons whose
lives have been uplifted and who ar
being uplifted by the power of hel
/; inspired teachings.
