RIGHT THOUGHT
REMEDY FOR EVIL
Mrs. Corby Lectures on
Christian Science, Truth
That Heals"
is NOT FAITH CURE,
SHE TELLS HEARERS

Is Heals, was the SUBJECT or lecture
}. by Mrs. Blanche X Corby. member
r, OF the Board OF Lectureship of the
:, Mother Church, the First Church Of
:, Christ, Scientist, Boston. Mass. last
evening in the First Church Of
=, Christ, Scientist in this city. In the
! course of her lecture, Mrs. Corby
said in part;
The time for thinkers has come,
writes Mrs. Eddy in the preface OF
her great work, Science and Health
With Key to the Scriptures In the
. recorded history OF man. there has
; never been such intense thinking on
things spiritual and religious as there
is today Advanced thinkers are
realizing that the world can never
teriality and continue in a state any
thing short OF anarchy; and that a
true constructive league can be
founded only upon the basis of spir-
litual regeneration.
Christian Science proclaims that
the one and only cause OF all things
is God. It declares that God is
infinite and is therefore divine Mind:
the infinite cannot possibly be other
than Mind. for with all that is less
than mind we associate the limita-
tions OF form, size. length. breadth.
color, and the like. The highest
concept OF God TO be attained Is that
OF Love. expressed in the compass
slonate loving Christ Jesus, who
came to save that which was lost
THE business world OF today could
not continue Its great activities with
the systems of hundreds OF years
ago; indeed, its ideals and methods
are continuously changing. The con-
duct OF business upon a more sys-
tematic, a more scientific basis. as
1t were, is constantly sought; and
yet. a scientific knowledge OF God Is
far more important for the welfare
Of mankind than a scientific bust
ness system.
1T Is generally considered that
spirituality is a supernatural. vague, !
or indefinite condition OF being which |
cannot be made practical. Christian
Science removes spirituality from the I
realm of the supernatural and I'M
practical and reveals II as a normal !
condition. Spirituality Is right /
and can be applied IN all Of !
the detail and routine of every day
life. The remedy for all evil lies IN
the power OF right thought; there Is
nothing that can be substituted for
1t. Our highest concept OF every
thing is the best that we can ex-
press.
Every one yearns for health, peace,
and life in abundance. Throughout
the world not one man can be found
who will say that he does not want
these things. Christian Science can
bestow them. not in the way or after
the manner of the world, but by TAX
ing away the sins OF the world
through the spirituallzation OF
thought.
"One OF the most pernlcious beliefs
which beset humanity is the fear of
Inherited disease or OF the inherited
tendency or inclination to certain
diseases. The law of heredity was
annulled when Jesus |
healed the blind man from his birth. !
II man is the image and likeness of
God, he cannot inherit dlscord or
any evil. and there is no law OF
leredlty to bind him.
christian Science Is not a faith
,ure. The entire teaching and prac-
ice OF Christian Science rests upon
he basic fact that God is all.
The objection IS sometimes made
y those who do not understand the
Method OF Christian Science healing
