revealed in his example Truth needs

Signs of the Times.

DO you doubt that Christian Science
is the leaven al work in the human
concept of theology? Recently / read
in the official organ of an orthodox
denomination an editorial entitled:
The God We Worship The theme
was expressed in these words: The
last solution is that evil is all an illu-
sion, that it only exists because We
think it does" Tell it not in Gath, pub
lish it not in the streets of AScalOn,
Here we have Orthodoxy upon the plat
form of Christian Science. How much
of the old theology is left in the leav-
ened thought of this writer, when he
further declares: The conviction
that God is love is worth while; that
evil is an illusion is magnificently
worth while" Again we hear the
voice of the well-known president of
theological college. The time has
come for a creedless Christianity"
What means the more recent attempt
of great church to revive the work OF
healing the sick by spiritual means?
1t is true there has not yet come to this
denomination the vision of the Christ
method of healing, but it is plain that
the leaven of Christian Science is at
work therein.
What signifies the growing move
ment in religious organizations to con-
solidate. to sink creedal differences In
the common good? Men are caring
less for doctrine and more for deeds!
Material forms and observances are
| becoming more and more secondary to
spiritual understanding witnessed in
signs following. Do you realize that
progressive thought in the churches
today is accepting, by little and by lit
tie. those ideals which lone woman,
a half century ago, proclaimed to an
lunheeding world? Then theology lis
toned only to scoff and to persecute.
Today. though not yet recognizing the
| fact. it has begun to follow, however
haltingly, the trail she blazed. Can
YOU doubt that sthe day Will come
when the last of scholasticism shall
have disappeared from the learned
lump of theology? Then the Christian
| Science textbook may be read from
orthodox pulpits. even as now 1t is not
uncommonly eagerly read In pastors
studies. Then Christian sermons Will
heal the sick. Then will end forever
| the division into denominations ana
the Church triumphant will appear
| in the elimination of material theories
and dependencies. In that day OF spir-
itual perdominance the churches Will
understand what Mrs. Eddy meant
when she wrote - love the orthodox
church. and, in time, that church Will
love Christian Science" (Mis., p. III,
25-27D

and medicine seem material. Physical
science, scholastic theology, and ma
terial medicine have operated in hu-
man consciousness to belittle God with
finite form and nature, and to bind
man with the trammels of matter.
Spiritually considered and therefore
rightly viewed, science, theology, and
medicine express modes OF divine con-
sCiOusness, activities of the divine
Mind, or the infinite Principle, God.
To be true, to be Christian, religion
must take into account these divinely
mental modes: human action based on
them is most Christian, most spiritual
ly scientific, hence nearest right.
Christ Jesus, science, his theology, his
medicine, were spiritual and therefore
were true. Christian Science, without
the limitations cf matter, was the
Science of Christ Jesus; Christian
theology, without scholastic dogma,
was the religion of Christ Jesus
Christian healing, without materia
medica, was the medicine of Christ
Jesus.
1t will be understood that Christian
Science does not come to destroy sci
ence, theology and medicine, but rather
to leaven the human concept of them
1t comes to purge out the old lump
In the leavening, science is shOrr
of physical letters, theology is cleansed
of the misconcepts of creed and dogma
and medicine is relieved of matter and
properly related to Mind. Thus spirit
ualization of thought raises the con
cepts of science, theology, and medi
cine to a higher basis, reveals them tC
be in truth modes of divine Mind. and
| restores them in human consciousness
to their rightful place, from which
material theories have debased them

The Leaven i'm Medicine.

No.shere is the Kaleidoscope charac-
ter of the human mind to be observed
more strikingly than in the history OF
material medicine. In my senior year
in medical college, 1 was required to
devote much study to THE Principles
and Practice of Medicine" A better
term for the subject would have been
"The Principles>and Practice of Medi-
cine for 1900" Material medicine has
always been in a state OF f1ux, because
it has never of itself risen, in theory
or practice, above matter. Even when
the matter physician discourses learn
edly on mind and deals with psyche
analysis, psycho-neurosis, psycho-ther'
apy, and psycho-what-not, he deals
none the less with matter, for the
materialist mind means little else than
brain-matter. While the materialist
has not yet learned that matter and
mortal mind are one, nevertheless the
healing art is drawing nearer the
truth as revealed in Christian Science
Progressive physicians, in practice, are
steadily reducing their legion Of rene
dies. Many doctors admit that there
is no specific medicine. Many boast
that they limit their practice to four OF
five drugs. l have even known physi
clans who declared that physic and
a painTeliever comprised their entire
materia medica. Itjs evident that Il
one can reduce the pharmacopoela II
practice to one or two remedies, hi
can take the next step and eliminate
the drug entirely from medical prac
tice.
1t may be argued that God PLACED
drugs here and endowed them will
healing power. When did Spirit, God
delegate to matter divine power? Ma
terial medicine did not qualify TO

dy when she made plain the oneness
and yet the distinctness of God and
man by the use of Principle and Mind
as synonyms of Deity.
The pantheistic dogma that Jesus
was God is based on nothing stronger
than his own declaration: Il and my
Father are one" If that be held to
prove that Jesus was Quantitativeiy
one with God, then it would follow
that all Christians are God, for Jesus
said of all believers: And the glory
which Thou gavest me | have given
them; that they may be one, even as
we are one" The oneness to which
Jesus referred was not duantitative
but qualitative. Even as the ray Of
light is one with the sun, yet no part
of it, so in quality man is one wish
God, as idea is enc with the Mind
which creates and manifeSts it, yet
holds is forever within its own being.
Man then is mental. not physical.
That is made plain by a simple illus
tration. No doubt everyone in this
audience has loved ones. What is it
! in these loved ones that calls forth
/ this special regard? Is it physique

tion of Truth was ultimate. She de-
clared cause and effect to be the di-
vine Mind and its idea, thus reveal
ing man and Science to be not hu-
manly, but divinely mental.
The human mind is an accretion of
mortal education, and that is illus.
trated in the case of the newborn in.
fant. Mortal man comes into the
world without the consciousness of
identity, without experience, without
intelligence. Nothing in animal life
is born so helpless, so completely with
out sense as the human kind. Com
monty ii has not sense enough to eat.
Its very cries are but the chemical re-
action of shock. 1t is plainly little
more than animated matter. Weak
helpless, unintelligent, it lives wholly
dependent on others for even the sim
plest thought processes. The educa-
ti3nal process whereby the infant ac-
quires a so-called mind of its own be-
gins from birth and goes on by little
and little. First this little bundle of
mortality learns to breathe, then to
eat. These are not yet, however, in.
telligent acts, but rather the impulses
of animal instinct Education con
tinues until the child begins to mani.
fest intelligence, becoming less and
less dependent on others. and so ac'
quires at last what is termed a mind
But from first to last human existence
when unleayened by divine Science, is
| a mOrtally mental process, rising no
higher than the limits of it's material
ly mental selfhOod. Christian Science
has come to make education divinely
mental thus raising mortal selfhoOd
above itself, leavening the race with
| true Science, putting to an end the
kaleidoscope round of material life.
Although recent higher attachments
! in mans conquest of matter have been
| far in advance of the atom, the atomic
theory, though disproved, continues
| to be the practical working basis OF
physical science. Just SO, matter, eX
| posed by Christian Science as merely
! human belief, continues to be the
/ practical working basis for the pres
ent state of human life. This explains
| why Christian Scientists are consist
| ent in continuing to employ so-calleC
! matter in its various useful forms. We
| eat, wear clothes, heat our houses
| conduct ourselves much as others do:
| But the effect of Christian Science al
! this period is to break down the sense
/ of limitation by which mortal man:
endeavors are hedged about. The
| Christian Scientist is therefore put
ting off daily the old, the inadequate
| the material, and is putting on tht
new, the spiritual. Meanwhile he doe:
not increase his dependence upon mat
| ter by making added concessions t
material laws. The Christian Scient
lists motto is not more and more, bu
! less and less reliance on matter. TIL,
way in Christian Science is the wa!
of overcoming material dependence
and fewer concessions to matter is th'
mark of the Christians progress. Th'
vanishing point of matter is fore
shown in mans always increasin:
dominion over it. Inevitably ther'
will come a day when, in the words o
Isaiah, THE earth is clean dissolved.
| Isaiah, 24:19.)
