ON CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Former Physician Who Is Now a
Christian Scientist Lectured Here
Monday Evening

An interesting lecture on Christian
Science was delivered at High School
Hall Monday evening by DR., Walton
Hubbard before an appreciative audi
ence.
DR.. Hubbard is a former physician
who practiced for many years until he
became a Christian scientist He is
now a member of the board of Lecture
ship CT the first Christian Science
church at Boston. He was Introduced
by Supt d. w. McClelland and spoke
in part as follows:
The explanation of Gods law and its
Iayai,ability to all mankind was taught
and demonstrated by Jesus the Christ,
but for many centuries it has been
maintained that the major portion of
the reward for Christian living is to
come at some future time.
The wisdom of this world has failed
not only to heal from discord and sin
but to heal from disease, and it will
continue to fail in its treatment o,
disease until 1t ig recognized that
lsickness Is Sick thought EXPRESSED on
the body, and that sick thought Is
cast out through, northumberland
ing When human thought is flied
with fear and belief in disease, no hn-
man statment TO the contrary will
suffice and the thought which heals
must be so evidently the divine idea.

to be known by its fruits
The revelation came to Mrs. Eddy
because the particular qualities of
thought which she possessed made IL
inevitable. She investigated every ma.
terial system of healing and finally de.
cided that all causationp must IN men
tai, yet 1t required twenty years OF
effort before she really understood that
all causation was Mind, Gcd. and a
number of years more before it had
unfolded with sufficient clarity to be
given to the world. l
The slightest amount OF spiritual
understanding put into practice bring;
forth abundant results, and faith as q
grain of mustard seed is sufficient tC
remove mountains of error.
The reasoning Of Christian Science
brings divine Love close to human
experience. The recognition that Coo
is Mind and that man is His perfec
idea is the basis for Christian Science
