INDIANA DAILY TINES MONDAY, OCTOBER II. 1921.

Church, The First Church Of Christ
Scientist, in Boston, which includes all
the activities of this worldwide move
ment, and Of which all other Christian
Science churches are branches. She pro-
vided this church with a Manual of by
laws, which, she says, If followed In let
ter and spirit. win prove adequate to
guide this great movement throughout al
conservation and inspiration of Mrs
Eddy's leadership are daily becoming
more apparent and better appreciated.
SCIENCE DEVELOPS
LATENT POWERS.
ION page 12s of Science and Health
Mrs. Eddy says, The term Science
properly understood, refers only to the
laws 81 God and to His government OF
the universe inclusive of man. -
knowledge of the Science Of being
develops the latent abilities and pos
sibilities Of man. 1t extends the at
mosphere of thought, giving mOrtals &C
cess to broader and higher realms. 1t
raises the thinker into his native air of
insight and perspicacity.' Christian
Science, then, is the Science Of true liv-
ing, or real being. For this reason it is
equal to the solution of every human
problem. Earnest thinkers-teachers,
philosophers, economists, end statesmen
are deeply concerned with the solution
of the many problems which confront
us at this time. The correct solution Of
these problems is Of the utmost i'm
portance to mankind; and 1t Is q cause
for rejoicing that this solution Is at
hand. In the Science Of Christianity will
be found the right way out of all forms
Of human discord. Jesus Of Nazareth
knew more about true economy and
harmonious government. than any man
who ever lived.
To-day we find dlscord and unrest on
every hand. The world is in an unprec-
edented state of turmoil, Strikes and
lockouts, conflicts and controversies are
raging all about us. This Is due entirely
to the inherent selfishness of the human
mind and nothing win still the tempest
but the Mind of Christ. Many are look
ing forward,-some hopefully and ex-
pectantly-to the establishment OF per
manent peace. But We cannot overlook
the fact that there are in all human
organizations the elements which make
for war and strife, because in all human
institutions, whether known as govern
ments, churches. labor unions, employers
associations, schools, or families, may De
found the injustice, dishonesty, avarice.
and fear which generate war. These
evil, mental traits obtain to some ex-
tent in the consciousness Of every in
dividual being. And, obviously, an or
ganization can be no better than the in
divfduals who compose 1t. Thus IL Will
be seen that the conflict in thought be
tween good and evil, right and wrong,
must continue, under the guidance and
direction OF divine Principle, until every
vestige Of evil thinking has been dis
placed by the Mind Of Christ; and then
shall theN world have peace.
There is one thought in particular
which, il you viii carry it away with
you from this lecture. will be found
most helpful in your daily experience,
whatever the nature of your occupation
may be. The thought to which l refer
is this: There Is a power always avail
able to you that is greater than any hu-
man power, bigger than any person or
set of persons, superior TO any circum-
stances. This power is the law Of Love,
the law Of divine Principle. 1t is not
necessary to go anywhere to find this
law. for it is ever present You need
not wait for il to become operative, for
It is always operating. You can rest in
the assurance that this law OF divine
Principle will turn and overturn, adjust
and readjust, until the conscious har
mony of your being is revealed as an
established fact.
Near the beginning Of the lecture /
quoted one sentence from what is known
as the Scientific Statement OF Being,
which will be found on page 46S of Sci
ence and Health. This statement is the
essence and epitOme OF Christian Ccience.
II may be amplified and commented upon
indefinitely, but nothing essential can be
added to it. / should like in closing to
