0CuAiiiS Nllii lnt LedCIiiliSS oA Sil tian Science, pr. John M. Tut, C. $. B., of Kansas City, addressed large and appreciative audience at the Elks' theater last night.
 Introducing the distinguished speak CT, Irving DeR. Miller said:
 As we look about the world today we see everywhere evidence of the failure of man-made systems to meet the needs of humanity; everywhere there is a turmoil and dissatisfaction which human law has neither the ability nor provision to quiet.
 In consequence, men are turning in their hopelessness of a solution, back to the words of Jesus of Nazareth, who centuries ago promulgated upon the Galilean mount a law, upon the strict est observance of which. personally, economically and nationally, alone rests the hope of the happiness, peace and health of mankind.
 This law of the Christ. or Science of Christianity, or Christian Science, has been reiterated in this age by an American woman, Mary Baker Eddy, and it is to learn something of her re- discovery that we are to listen tonight to pr. John NJ. Tut, c. s. B., of Kan sas City, Missouri, a member of the board of lectureship of The Mother Church. the First Church of Christ Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts.
 I take pleasure in introducing Dr. Tut:
 The address of Dr. Tut follows:
 Christian Science has come to hu- manlty in response to its cry; Create in me clean heart, O God; and re- new a right spirit within me-Re- store unto me the joy of thy saliva tion- It has come to restore health in the place of sickness, righteousness in the place of sin. supply in the place Of want, joy in the place of sorrow, understanding in the place of ignor- 3ance. Through the reStora tive minis try Of Christian Science multitudes to- day rejoice in newness of life. These individuals, bodily saved and spiritually awakened, are not incompetent, but representative citizens of the communi- ties in which they live-they are your friends, perchance. Many of them were Bible students-an are now. Many were ChristianS-au now are striving to be. Many turned from disease and sin, are restored to health and respon sibility. Unquestionably there is a mighty power in this influence which has touched the lives of your fellow citizens and pleased them, which has made bad men good and good men better.
 Personal Experience
 As one of the many who have re- turned from going down into the pit, I testify gladly to the power of Chris tian Science in my own experience. oGcduSc or the D1aS or mSd1Cal ana theological education, I was for many years deprived of the benefits of Chris ton Science. When my eyes finally were opened, found health and spirit ua1 awakening 1 had never known in the old ways of medicine and theology. l then discovered that the growth of Christian Science is due entirely to the fact that it -Fneets the hearts great need' as no other system has met it. Throughout thirteen years of the study ana practice of Christian Science, in proportion to my understanding and application of it's divine Principle, I have felt the abiding consciousness of Gods presence and power, and have come into an ever enlarging sense of dominion over all that is unlike good. l have experienced healing and have beer witness to the healing of many others These cases include acute and chronic conditions, functional and or ganic diseases, nervous and mental dis orders. I have seen all types of dis ease and sin healed and their victims restored through spiritual power alone.
 My friends, am aware that the fore going statement accords to Christian Sciencesa place as a restorative agency, not achieved by any of the prevailing systems of religion and medicine.
 Now I do not speak incompetently, nor do 1 wish to speak impertinently of materia medica- To qualify myself to practice medicine, studied three years and graduated at standard medical college. At no place did this course Of study rise above matter. The text look which has most to say about health, and the way to restore and maintain it. was omitted from the cur riculum. The Bible is not studied in medical colleges The supreme authority on cause and effect, the one exhaustive study of man and his Maker is there ignored. The entire tendency of ma terial medicine is away from the spiritual. However much materiafl systems of medicine may infect ordinary religion, and the infection has already deprived the orthodox church of spiritual healing, it cannot be said that religion has affected medicine, which is avowed1y unreligious, it's prac- ttce requiring no Christian qualifica- tion-
 Christian Science honors and re- spects that class of physicians whose l lives are devoted to the alleviation of suffering, whose interest in mankind is not selfish nor political. To such | noble men and women Christian Sci 1 eEtists say: Let there be no strife" for, to the extent that we labor for | humanity i've be brethren But the | radical cure and prevention of disease | must come, not through drugs, not | through material methods. but through | improved mental states. Better think | iLg makes better bodies. just as better thinking makes better morals, and | Christian Science is the religion Of | right thinking.
 After practicing medicine for three | years I was forced to the conclusion | that to ignore the spiritual man is to | be unprepared to- cope with the mental | processes underlying the discordant | manifestations we see in the physical ! body. Medical experience taught me, i as it has taught others, that regardless | of diagnosis and treatment, very large | percentage of patients recover, a small | proportion are unaffected. grow i worse, and a few die. It became con elusive that whether my ears rang with | or burned with con- dcmnation, I had perhaps done little to merit either. I came at last to know | that material medicine, with is multi | piled legion of diseases and it's super- legion of remedies, is not, and by it's very nature, never can be a genuine curative agency.
