CHRISTIAN SCIENCE: RELIGION
MADE PRACTICAL"

A lecture on Christian Science was
delivered at the Municipal theatre in
.~>5Ozeman last Thursday evening,
March oath. by Clarence W. Chad
wick c. S. B. of Omaha, Nebraska.
Mr.. Chadwick is a member of The
Board of Lectureship of The Mother
Church, The First Church of Christ
Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts.
The lecturer was introduced by
Prof. w. R. Plew, and the report in
full follows:
%hat the whole world needs today
Is more religion. But this religion
must be made practical if it is to
prove remedial or constructive. The
gospel of healing must accompany
the gospel Of preaching, if the Word
is TO be with power. 1t is what
Christians do, more than what they
say, that ccnvinces one that there is
salvation in religion.
Because Christian Science has heal
ed it's thousands and hundreds of
thousands in Jesus way, it has won
it's right to recognition as a practical
religion. The best way to inspire a
mans faith in Cod is to heal him
morally and physically, thereby prov
ing to him the power of Emmanuel,
"GOd with us" and giving him
breadth and freedom of thought with
which to recognize the great need
of a demonstrable religion. His eX-
perience of healing soon does away
with his innate opposition to spiritual
itv, Those spiritually healed in
Christian Science have nothing to say
against Christ Jesus, nor against the
religion which he lived to establish
Their one desire is to understand Goo
and to make their religion practical
What happy world this will be wher
everyone in it can prove the healing
&-Rower of divine Love!

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE OPPOSED
TO SPIRTTUALISM

At this particular time, when the
thought of the human body is being
so abnormally accentuated, when spir-
itualism and mediumship are so OBJ
sessing the public thought, and the
unavailing attempt is being made to
associate the name Of our revered
Leader, Mrs. Eddy, with those who
believe in communion with the de-
parted, let it be said that Mrs. Eddy
never believed in spiritualism, nor in
mediumship; never believed in any
communication between the living and
the departed; and in proof of these
statements, one will find in her text
book, Science and Health, a chapter
entitled christian Science versus
Spiritualism." Many spiritualists,
after turning to Christian Science,
have lost all faith in spiritualism, be-
cause Christian Science has enabled
them to prove conclusively that Spirit
cannot be rightly conceived Of as less
than infinite.
The publicity which is at present
being given to spiritualistic claims,
is, no boubt, one Of the experiences
made possible by the recent world
war, which has called forth the men,
tai anguish Of multitudes, longing for
communion with their dear departed.
If all who are still clinging to this
belief Of embodied and disembodied
spirits, will only look to Christian
Science for a present spiritual sense
of their loved ones, al tears will soon
be wiped away, and the understanding
will obtain that Spirit is Life, God,
and that man, the image and likeness
of God, can never be separated from
Feternal Life.
When it is better understood that
man lives, and moves, and has his
being in Spirit, and not in a mortal
body, the so-called communications Of
spiritualism will rightfully be CLASH
fiel as sense phenomena, unknown to
the so-called departed communication,
but belonging wholly to our preent
plan Of existence.
WORLD pROBLEMSl
The religion Of Christ Jesus put
into daily practice, is the only thing
than can rid the world of the chaotic
conditions which now seem to pre-
vail. Coincident with the demonstra-
tion of the Christian virtues is the
disappearance of that greatest curse
of the human race"-selfishness. HUI
man laws will, no doubt, continue to
be enacted during the transitional pc
Rod; but not until the higher law of
Spirit, founded upon the First great
Commandment, "Thou shalt have no
other gods before me" is recognized
and obeyed, viii the reign of human
selfishness give place to universal
peace and brotherhood; to humanity,
justice, and kindness.

= Had Christ Jesus failed to prove
that "his word was with power" luke
4:32), could he have conferred power
upon his disciples ito heal all manner
of sickness and all manner of dis
ease" MAT. 10:1)? Indeed not! No
personal gift, no theological nor med
zeal diploma, ever conferred real
power upon anyone. The giving of
spiritual power to his followers was
nothing less than the practical proof
to them of healing, accompanied by
such audible attestation as the Mas
ter felt led to give. And this is dem
onstration, which fully agrees with
Webster's definition of the word: ITO
show by proof; "to establish beyond
a doubt"
Christians today are given power to
heal only when they lose confidence
in matter, and turn to God with such
implicit faith, trust, and understand
ing, that healing actually takes place.
To illustrate this point: In despera-
ton a business man sought a Chris
tian Scientist for help. He stated his
condition as being one of hopeless
ness. The doctors had placed him
on a rigid diet, and had given him
only a few months in which to live.
His nights were practically sleepless.
He had frequently been advised to
seek help in Christian Science, but he
had ridiculed the mere mention of the
subject. At last the still, small voice
was heard as one talking aloud to
him: go to Christian Science; it is
your only hope" He obeyed the call.
The practitioner lovingly assured him
that there was help for him; that di-
vine Love always forgives sin by de-
stroying it in a repentant heart.
One treatment destroyed all sense of
fear, enabling him to rest peacefully
all night for the first time in months.
In a few days the man was perfectly
well, mentally transformed, able to
attend to his regular duties. Materia
medica and false theology had man.
acled him with the letters of both
disease and sin. Christian Science
proved to him that the power of God
was present to heal him mentally
morally, and physically.

comes to unmask and to destroy the

until they receive this message and

Where Christ, Truth, is, God is;
and where God is, evil is not. Evil,
then, in all its varied phases, is but
a seeming absence Of God. The

the presence Of evil, but against be-

why spend ones time thinking and

REV. SMITH FILLED
METHODIST PULPIT
LARGE AUDIENCE GREETED
WELL KNOWN MINISTER
SUNDAY MORNING.

A thinker and a logical reasoner al
ways makes an impression on a Daw-
son congregation, and the sermon by
Rev. w. F. Smith at the Methodist
church Sunday morning was greatly
appreciated 1t rang true to the highest
ideals of Americanism, the fundamen-
tai principles of our forefathers that
right is based upon justice, equity and
mercy and not upon force. The speak
er discussed in a forceful way the
great national and international prob
lens: poverty, criminology, industrial
relations, etc, disturbing the world to-
day, and laid upon the church the
great responsibility Of meeting the sit
uation with the teachings of Christ the
only hope for a new world outlook
By a review of the worlds history Mr.
Smith showed clearly that the only
education worth while is that which
touches human life with an inspiring
and uplifting power. He dwelt on Ger
man rationalism as a striking example
of what the wrong kind of education
will do for humanity, and pleaded for
a return to the faith of our fathers as
an incentive to the building of charac
ter and higher moral ideals. He de-
clared the educational interests to be
the most important interests OF the
church.
Rev. w. H. Ketchum, of Brentwood,
occupied the pulpit at the evening ser
vice, his strong message along the
same line receiving favorable comment
from all who were privileged to hear
the timely message.
