HEARD BY MANY

at Armory Hall.

william w. Porter, @. S. B., of New
York city, member of the Christian
Science board of lectureship, of tht
First Church of Christ, Scientist, il
Boston, Mass, delivered a lecture or
Christian Science yesterday after
noon in Armory hall.
The lecturer was introduced by A
c. Binkley. The subject of the lee.
ture was Christian Science the Re-
storer, and the principal points in il
were these:
The demonstration of Christian
Science, in healing of sick and the
restoration of human thought on line
of right activity is today an accom-
plished fact. Christian Science, con-
trary to the existing systems of re-
ligion and medicine, shows the un-
reality of evil, disease, discord and
death. shows that these are unnatura
and not legitimate, and shows the way
out of these false beliefs. Christian
Science proves that the seeming
troubles of mankind are: lack of edu-
cation in pure Christianity (the Chris
tianity Jesus Christ taught and lived)
the misconception of God, and mis-
Interpretation of what is man. The
mission of Christian Science being to
clear away and destroy these mis-
conceptions, MISUNDERSTANDING and
misstatements together with the sia
sickness and destruction that follow in
their wake. and to restore to mankind
the true reflection or image and like
ness of God and the true understand

Creation. The lecturer pointed out
how Christian Science unfolds that
the CONSEQUENCES of existence i'm
plies Mind That without Mind there
could be no consciousness of existence
and that Mind as explained in Chris
tian Science is not the limited human
sense of mind, but is that Mind which
is infinite in its being wisdom and
identity. That this Mind, without
which there can be no consciousness
of existence. must be the Creator of
all that exists. and that God, who is
infinite Mind, is incorporeal and
everywhere present as Mind. And how
Christian Science teaches us to under
stand the nature and character of God.
How by the aid of Christian Science
we can overcome all evil suggestions
fear, sickness and sin.
In closing the lecturer pointed out
the splendid work the discoverer and
founder of Christian Science, Mrs
Mary Baker Eddy, has done for the
human race by redelivering to man
kind the laws of Christ's healing
power, more or less dormant and
buried under the gross materalism of
the last fifteen centuries so that now
the laws of Christian healing power
can be found in the Christian Science
textbook Science and Health with
Key to Scripture" by Mary Baker
Eddy, and can be used by any sincere
seeker of Truth, and that this is why
all genuine Christian Scientists feel
deep gratitude to Mrs. Eddy for her
work
