LECTURE
ON CHRISTIAN
SCIENCESUNDAY
(From Mondays daily.l

On Sunday afternoon at the AL
Ringing theatre there was a lecture
on Christian Science entitled Chris
tian Science: The Vision Of Christ
Jesus" by Rev. Andrew j. Graham, c.
S., member of the Board of Lecture.
ship Of the Mother Church, Scientist
in Boston, Mass.
The speaker was introduced by Mrs
C. l.. Tuerer, who said:
We are assembled here today to
learn something about the teaching
of Christian Science. Christian Sci
ence is not new religion, but the
same beautiful religion Of love and
good works which Jesus taught and
demonstrated over nineteen centuries
ago and left to us as his rich legacy.
His command, 60 ye into all the
world and preach the gospel to every
creature" Heal the sick" was obeyed
for three hundred years after the
ascension.
Then for centuries it lay hidden UNI
der the darkness OF materiality; but,
as the diamond hidden in the earths
dark recesses loses none Of its beauty
and purity, even SO this beautiful heal
ing Truth, when discovered by Mary
Baker Eddy had lost none OF it's pur-
lily and healing efficacy.
Rev. Graham said in part:
In the year of 1856 Mary Baker
Eddy, whom medical skill had failed
to- relieve of serious physical
trouble, was instantaneously healed
through reading the Scriptures. Chris
tian Scientists know that with her
healing began the modern fulfillment
of Jesus promise: when he, the
Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide
you into all truth" Instead Of taking
her physical healing and losing her
self in the throng of the unthankful
her gratitude to God and compassion
for suffering humanity led her to in
vestigate and to mediate. On page
100 of Science and Health with Key
to 1.-THE Scriptures" Mrs. Eddy writes:
For three years after my discovery,
| sought the solution of this problem
lures and read little else. kept aloof
from society, and devoted time and
energies to discovering a positive
rule" This rule she discovered, stated,
elucidated, and demonstrated, over
and over again, in healing the sick,
thus reinstating the most practical
feature of primitive Christianity.
THE TEXTBOOK
1t is fitting at this time to say some
thing about the Christian Science
textbook, Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy.
This book is not commentary on the
Bible, but key to it. Other writer's
claim to bring out treasures and TO
hand them to us: Mrs Eddy gives us
the key, saying Open the book and
help yourselves. Amy claim to excel
lency can be sustained and maintained
only by results-"by their fruits ye
shall know them" The spiritual virili-
ty and illumination which the student
of the Bible receives through earnest
study of the Christian Science text
book is undeniable proof that the lat
ter is what is claimed for it,-a key
to the Scriptures. The dominant
thought of the textbook is spiritual.
If anything else is sought in it's pages
will be unresponsive. To those who
are hungering and thirsting after
righteousness and the sick and slnfuI
who are seeking peace, it is deep
responding unto deep. Simply the
reading of it has lifted thousands OF
suffers out of despair. Friends: the
man who is really homesick to know
his heavenly Father, od. from whom
he seems to be separated, is ready to
study this textbook, and to gain
through its teaching, healing and
purity and peace The Christian
Science textbook, through informing
and guiding the truth seeker, disposes
thoroughly OF cold "+0rage Bible, by
throwing the doors wide open and ex-
posing its treasures to all who desire
them
! CHRISTIAN SCIENCE HEALING
What is Christian Science healing?
L
same method which Jesus employed,
that is, by understanding and utilizing
the infinite power of God who, ac-
cording to the psalnist, healeth all
our imfirmities. The result in Chris
tian Science healing differ from those
brought about by. other methods in
that they are moral as well as. physi-
cal, and are far more complete, salts
factory, and enduring. Jesus never
! employed nor recommended the use
: OF matter in any form to cure disease.
=. IF one desires a fuller explanation
: he must study Christian Science, and
learn how evil is explained and over
come metaphysically.
THE HANDICAP
7 Sooner or later moral man is forced
to the conclusion that he has no
health. that is.s no healing power in
:, himself, and by the same token he
knows that no other mortal can heal
