tian Science Church. last night. lee
tured to an audience OF 700 per-
sons in the First Church of Christ,
Scientist.
Sanford w. Sawin. First Reader of
the Christian Science Church. in
troduced the speaker with the fol-
lowing remarks:
MARY Baker Eddy was the dis
coverer and founder of Christian
Science. and the full explanation of
this Science is found in her book,
Science and Health, With Key to
the Scriptures
THE author has not compromised
conscience to suit the general drift
Of thought, but has bluntly given
the text of Truth. She has made
no effort to embellish. elaborate. or
treat in full detail so infinite theme.
If one should attempt to condense
the fundamentals of Christian Sci
ence to as few words as possible,
! believe the following quotation from
Science and Health would meet
the requirements: There is but one
primal Cause; therefore there can
me no effect from any other cause,
and there can be no reality in an
giles which does not proceed from the
great and only Cause, and this,
which is known as one Of the re-
ligious tenets Of Christian Science:
And we solemnly promise to watch,
and pray for that Mind to be in us
which was also in Christ Jesus; to
do unto others as we would have
them do unto us; and to be merci-
/ full, just and pure"
In opening his address. Judge
Greene said that Christian Science
offers today the most comprehen-
sive, the most startling and yet the
simplest, sanest program for hu-
man thought and action.
What the world is wanting-is
seeking" he declared. sis a re-
ligion that comes to the sick and
tells them how to be we'll; that
comes to the discouraged and de-
spondent and lifts them out of the
slough OF despair and despond into
the joy of a closer walk with God.
Christian Science supplies this need
through the spiritual Interpretation
of the Bible and the consequent
spiritual understanding OF God; and
enables the world to find the rest
and the peace that are promised by
the Master.
christian Science comes teaching
in the very words of Jesus of old
that the kingdom of God, the king
dom of Heaven. is at hands here
Is now, within us, around us, and
about us. Through the practice and
understanding Of this teaching oi

"Christian Science in its healing
ministry is not a patent cure-all, mol
is it blind faith cure. II is not the
action of will power. nor is it th'
action of the human mind. on thl
contrary, IL teaches that the human
mind must yield to the divine Mind
