SHELBY SPEAKS ON
 CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Representative of Mother Church Tells Lyric Audience
 What Science Is

Paul Stark seeley of Boston, Mass, c. s, B.. Christian Science lecturer, addressed a capacity audience at the Lyric theatre yesterday afternoon at s;So o'clock.
 Mr. Seeley dealt with Christian Science as study, showing what 1t Is and how it works. He said in part:
 Tt is sometimes said that one must give up SO much to become Chris tian Scientist. but this Is not so. Christian Science separates us from nothing but evil It but asks us to surrender the fools gold of false material sense for the enduring riches of spiritual mindedness. It lessens our affection for no one but exalts and purifies our love for everyone, The Christian Scientist recognizes that the more evil conditions of thought we abandon the more we gain of true manliness, says in the words of the great sculptor. Michael Angelo:
 "'The more the marble wastes
 The more the image grows.
 Worlds Need Is More Love
 ''The world today. torn with dis sension. strife. and ill-will, is hungry in its heart of hearts for love, for the love that is genuine, good and pure, the love that destroys hate, unites men, and expresses God. The idea of corporation is being born. Among states, nations, churches, employers, employees, farmers and individuals we see this right idea of human brother hood slowly but surely emerging, not without a conflict, but with dett- niteness that Is cause for encourage ment. Slowly men are coming to see that in the final analysis self-interest Is to be found only in the common interest, and that we cannot have any enduring selfhood apart from our brother. So momentous is the step forward which mankind is now talk ing that the breaking up of old be- Iiefs of pride, selfishness, jealousy, hate, and so on seems at times to cause an ioe-jam in the stream Of progress, but under the moral force of love the stream moves on.
 And so to everyone interested In human betterment let me say that the world needs your cooperation and mine. It needs brotherly con sideration one for another, tolera- ton and kindness. We need to be ever ready to recognize ana to re- joice in the good in those about us and to minimize the evil. We need to guard against Igoing to the mat over questions secondary In impor- tance, thus retarding our own and others progress heavenward. In the transition through which we are passing we see too often good men condemn good men. Those striving for the same ideals politically and re- ligiously are too often separated by the devils wedge of controversy and dissension and their purposes thwart- ed by unavalling conflict.
 My friends. we are brothers. God has made us so. Only as brothers can we find true life, only as broth- CTS can we possess true happiness, only as brothers can we fulfil our Fathers purpose and fill our places in loves harmonious plan. The eff forts of the adversary are to divide Christians and Christendom, to bring among us controversy, dissension, strife and war. But we are brothers, brothers now, brothers forever and forever. Only in brotherhood is heaven, only in brotherhood is truth, and the one road to brotherhood Is love, love that Is deep. genuine, pure and Godlike. Said John, He that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?"
