THE NENANA DAILY NEW
buked the man for calling him, not
God, but merely good, saying,
There is none good but one, that
is, Cod" He did this because he
recognized, as no one else ever has,
that even all that he manifested of
God did not express, but only indi-
Gated, the infinite good that is God.
This. is shown by the fact that he
expected not only the emulation of
his example by his followers, but
more,-''He that believeth on me,
the works that l do shall he do
also; and greater works than these
shall he do; because l go unto my
Father" because l illustrate the
way, and show, as he again said,
that ''the Son can do nothing of
himself, but what he seeth the
Father do: for what things soever
he doeth, these also. doeth the Son
likewise"
THIS TEACHING SCIENTIFIC.
That this knowledge of God and
of man, the knowledge that was
taught, illustrated, and demonstrat-
ed by Jesus the Christ, is Christian,
all will concede. But, it may be
asked, is it scientific?
This question can be answered,
must be answered in one way alone
that of demonstration or proof
1t was so answered when Jesus did
his marvellous works; it was so an
swered when his disciples or stu
dents repeated these works; it was
so answered when for over two cen
turtles after them their followers,
the early Christians, did these
works. 1t is in this way that for
the past fifty years it has been an
swereo and is now being answered.
1t was so answered when Mrs. Eddy,
through the spiritual illumination to
her of Bible text,-through the
coming to her of the right idea,-
was healed it was so answered
when she, through this true sense
Of the nature, the presence, and the
power of God, healed others, and

so answered when her students,
through the presentation of her
teachings,-given to them in the
Christian Science textbook, "Sc.-
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" reformed, h e d,
made the abundance of good mani
fest for others, and in turn taught
them to do likewise. 1t was so an
swered when this reformed, healed,
regenerated, saved multitude estab-
lished churches and societies of
Christ, Scientist, in every part of
the habitable globe until it is safe
to say that there is no one here
who does not know of some one
whose life, health, mode of thought,
increased usefulness, and freedom
from want and woe do not bear
witness to this. 1t has been so an
swered, and is being so answered
here by the fact that this lecture
is given to make these facts known;
for were it not that some few or
many in this community were so
benefited, this lecture would not,
could not be given, for there would
be no one here who would cause it
to be given. There is, therefore,
abundant proof that this Christi
anity is Science, demonstrate and
demonstrated knowledge. Neither
do thinking people deny this over
whelming proof But the question
still =. remains, how is this accom-
plished?
Unaccustomed as most people are
to any expectancy of direct help
from God, it may be said that even
after the nature of God and of the
true man is indicated there is still
skepticism as to whether the bene-
fits experienced are due to God, due
to the knowledge or science of Him.
For this reason those cured by
Christian Science are assured that
they would have got well anyway,
or that they had nothing the matter
with them. Again, the favorite ex-
