the result of an accident, which
physicians had pronounced incur
able. Mrs. Eddy indicates that this
is the incident which turned her
thought to the discovery of what the
world knows today to be Christian
Science 1t may properly be said
that Christian Scientists have a pc
culiar love and regard for their re-
vered Leader 1t would be wrong,
however, in the extreme to assume
that there is anything in this atti-
tude that savors of personal worship
or personal alteration. On the con-
trary, this attitude toward Mrs. Ed
dy on the part of Christian Scien-
lists is in recognition and in CRATE
full acknowledgement of the broad,
universal and unselfish service to all
mankind which characterize all of
Mrs. Eddy's life work. Indeed, from
the date Of her healing on that mo-
mentous Sunday morning in the
year 1866. Mrs. Eddy's life was
spent consistently and exclusively
in proving the truth which had been
revealed to her and in establishing
Christian Science in accordance
Herewith She also reduced the
facts connected with her healing to
such terms or language as would be
best understood by mankind. 1t was
necessary that this be done. It was
necessary that these facts be rightly
correlated, and that the Science
which governed the appearance of
these facts should be accurately
stated, as has been scrupulously
dome in the book Science and
Health. It was necessary that this
should be done in order that those
who have eyes to see and ears to
hear might acquire at any and all
times, in any and all places, the
means to enable them to heal and to
help mankind whenever such heal
ing is desired and sought. Chris
tian Scientists ask of the world, in
regard to Mrs. Eddy, that the judg-
ment of the world concerning this
remarkable woman shall be based
upon the character of he Rifle work.
Words Of praise cannot add luster to
a life actuated by love for God and
the human race. Of such life the
scriptural proverb may we'll be ut
tered: "Give her of the fruit of her
hands; and let her own works praise
her in the gates"
In the early days OF Christian
Science the workers the men and
women who, as it were, blazed the
way, found it was difficult to oon-
vince the public that this Science
actually heals the sick and that it
regenerates human thought. Many
doors were closed upon those earnest
workers, whose only desire was to
share with Others something of the
good that had come into their own
lives through the ministrations of
Christian Science. The Discoverer
and Founder of Christian Science
herself was not excepted from this
unkind and ungenerous treatment.
The situation, however, is today
widely different. The demonstration
of sickness and in the regeneration
, of human thought is now a recog-
nized and accomplished fact. More
, over, and because this science ex-
, presses the quality and conviction
!, of final revelation, it is accepted tC
, be permanent dispensation. In
, deed, so we'll settled is the recogni-
tion of the healing and regenerative
works eli Christian Science that
, thoughtful men and women are ask
ing with growing interest the ques.
, ton: How has it been possible fol
, Christian Science to attain its pres
J ent stage of progress and develop
ment in scarcely more than sc
years? This progress has not beer
due to the attraction of unique So
eial features, nor to the promise o.
position and rank, fame and glory
nor yet to the fear of ecclesiastical
, thunderings or canonical laws. None
, of these things belong to Christian
Science. One reaches logically tn.
, conclusion that the remarkable de
, velopment of Christian Science il
: due entirely to the fact that thi
q science meets the needs of human
ity in an adequate and satisfactor.
q manner.
The question may be asked: Doe
. Christian Science never fail? N,
t true science can ever fail. One ma,
: fail to understand the science o
e numbers, or fail properly to appl,
:. this science in working out a math
n ematcal problem. No person will
9 assume, however, for moment, tina
|. because there has been a failure t,
: understand or properly to apply TIL
science of numbers the science o
# mathematics has failed. Likewis
+ there may be a failure properly t,
o understand Christian Science, or
O failure properly to apply this scien
+ ce in the working out of a problem
e under consideration-but Christian
g Science never fails.
