ON THE SCIENCE
Of RIGHT LIVING
Prof. Hermann S. Herring
Talks In Liberty Hall
On the Subject.

A lecture on Christian Science
The Science Of Right Living" by
Prof Hermann S. Herring. C.s.B. was
siven in Liberty hall last evening
He IS a member Of the board Of lee
tureship Of The Mother Church, The
First Church Of Christ. Scientist, in
Boston, Mass In part he said;
Today many thinking people are
beginning TO see as they have not
seen before. that the healing work Of
the early church is yet possible, al
though this healing work rebukes the
generally accepted supremacy Of ma
terisl law. They perceive that there
is such a thing as spiritual law. a law
apart from physics; that this divine
law is and should be sovereign over
socalled physical law; that IT has
dominion over what is termed matter :
and all this in spite Of the bias OF
rnaterialistlc thought which declares
that any existence apart from the
material cannot be conceived lt IS
encouraging that Christian peoples
are beginning to awake out OF tneir
sleep and 10 assert their right 10 the
freedom and harmony OF the children
OF God
airs. Eddv's supreme declaration IS
this. that there is one infinite Mind
which IS wholly good, perfect, in
destructibIe, immortal. This infinite,
absolute, omniscient omnipresentr
omnipoteut Being is the incorporeal
Father-Mother God whose true nature
IS revealed through Christian science
This divine actuality is the scientific
basis on which all Christian science
healing is demonstrated, the divine
Principle whose everpresence Is util-
lied in the overcoming OF sin ana
sickness, through the available trans
forming power Of the Christ coming
TO the human CONSEQUENCE
True Nature Of Man
Christian Science explains the true
nature OF the, diVinely created man,
rs not the man created Of the dust
OF the ground but as the image and
likeness OF God, the man whom God
pronounced good and to whom He
gave dominion over the earth
But If all reality is spiritual and
perfect, there arises the question

explains that because Spirit, the ALSO

there can be no place for either evl
or matter and IL therefore Classics

these conditions, thus proving them
untrue, for Truth IS indestructible.
How II Improves
Christian Science healing brings
about not merely a physical change,
but improves the patient morally,
mentally and spiritually II brings
man nearer TO God and changes his
standpoint from a material TO a spir-
itual basis II uplifts thought, gives
hir power over evil. and improves
his whole being in the degree that he
can grasp its truth.
Mrs Eddy's one objective through
mani. years was &C know God, TO find
the infinite source Of good, 70 under
stand the true nature OF being, that
healing might come TO burdeu-bearing
humanity. Her single-mindedness. IN
tempted by the world, uudismayed by
the weakness Of the flesh, undaunted
by the enmity OF evil. held her true

longed-f0r goal. the demonstrable
