 Mrs Eddy's Discovery
 Mrs. Eddy is acknowledged to be the DiscOvefer and Founder of Chris tian Science. and many people ask what it is that she has discovered. In reply it can be said that she has discovered the law of Spirit which is spiritual truth.
 In the material realm many material laws have been discovered Sir Isaac Newton. for instance, observed the movements of material bodies, and conceived the idea that such move ments were governed by a law which he afterward discovered and named the law of gravitation- This law car- not be seen with the physical eyes. but it's existence can be proved in other ways. Likewise, Marconi gain ed the idea that another law existed, and he said that if he could discover it he would be able to transmit mes sages by its agency from one part of the earth to another without any ma terial wires. That law has always ex- isted and has always operated, but II was not until 1t was discovered that 1t became available for human use. F cannot be seen by the human eye. but anyone may now learn how to utilize 1t
 In much the same way there was born in the consciousness of Mrs. Ed dy the idea that there exists law of Spirit. She had observed that some times great suffering and distress were produced by material laws, and that even whole communities were devastated and destroyed by their ope- ration, hence she came to the conelu- sion that God who possesses infinite wisdom and goodness could not ope- rate through laws that produce both good and evil. She, therefore, came to the conclusion that God is governing His children and His universe through spiritual laws and not through ma terial laws
 Mrs. Eddy also studied the miracles in the Old and New Testaments, and came to the inevitable conclusion that all or those events were correlated by means of an underlying spiritual law that had been known and understood by the men who wrought them, and she said that if she could discover the law 1t would be found to operate in the same manner now as in Bible times; that It would be a healing law, and would now heal people of sickness and sin and every evil human condition the same as then
 This idea grew and expanded in her consciousness until it became the i'm polling motive of her entire life. In the year 1866 she discovered the law Of Spirit, and named it Christian Sci ence. After waiting nine years, dur1ns which time she subjected the Princi- pie that she had discovered to the broadest practical tests in healing sickness and other, forms of human discord, she published a statement of Christian Science ina book, which she entitled Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures This book is now everywhere recognized as the only textbook of Christian Science. A great religious movement has formed around its teachings, which in one generation has girdled the earth with its churches. The spread of Christian Science has been phenomenal, and its growth has resulted from healing. Ev- cry adherent of Christian Science has actually been healed of some sickness, disease, or sinful appetite, and most of them have been healed of many such conditions These facts are easily veri- ned, and are worthy of very serious consideration.
 Spiritual Law
 Mrs Eddy discovered the law of Spirit as truly as Sir Isaac Newton discovered the law of gravitation, and this fact should be thoroughly under stood Just as Newton discovered that the movement of material bodies are r sulated and governed by this mate rial law, so Mrs. Eddy discovered the Principle that governs the entire uni verse, including every detail in the ives Of men That supreme. creative. OmnipreSent Mind or Principle is God, the only cause, the only creator, the only Ruler of man and the universe
 When we watch water flowing oyer the lane we see that without hesita- tiO@ or delay it always selects the low places All fresh water is continually striving to reach the sea, where it will be at rest In choosing its course it measures the topography of the ground more accurately and more quickly than the engineer could do with his in struments- No embodied mind is pres eGI to tell it where to 20, but there is an unerring. invisible law every where present directing its movement. ant always guiding 1t in the arae cCuIse.
 If such perfect law exists to guide the water in it's movement toward the sea. how much more certain it is that equally perfect spiritual law exists to guide the footsteps of tired and dis eourased human beings out of the wiz derRess of sickness, failure, and sin into the kingdom of peace.
 The Bible tells us that such a law exists and is operating for our benefit. In PsaaBs SIZES we read. 'sThe steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord Again, in Romans SIPS. "AuI things work together for good to them that love Gel" and ill Romans S:a For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ JesuSg hath made me free from
