Hubbard was introduced by Mrs.
George T. Smith, who spoke in part.
"Ih the eleventh chapter OF Mat
thew. twenty eighth and twenty
ninth verses. we find these words:
Come unto me. all We that labor and
are heavy laden and will give you
rest.
Take my yoke upon you and
; learn OF me; for l am meek and low
~ in heart; and ye shall nnd rest
unto your souls.
I'VE are taught in Christian
Science that these and other promises
of the Bible are perpetual. A num-
iber OF years ago, was led to inves-
Itigate Christian Science, following
a period OF unrest, and I rejoice to
say that am finding 1t a practical
religion.
'Tf we but analyze the seeming
strife between individuals. and ma
itions, the seeming unrest in the poll
ticel and business world. We can
only conclude that humanity is
yearning for mastery OF material be-
lliefs and fears, and consequently OF
their ensuing effects. These words
from the late President Harding
speech to the HOLLYWOOD Comman-
derry Of knights Templar are typi-
many thinking people today: I'VE
need more Of the Christ spirit. more
OF the Christ practice"
{ christian Science teaches US that
In proportion that We understand
God and Mans relation to HIM; and
apply this understanding In our daily
! lives, in that proportion are we able
to overcome discord and in harmony:
thus fulfilling the promise In John
S:32-Ye shall know the truth and
4, the truth shall make you free"
: In the course Of his lecture DR..
Hubbard said:
"Christion Science is a religion OF
demoIstration,-of works: It is the
law Of God. and it was in explana
ton OF this law that Christ Jesus
taught, and by the application OF
this Science that he healed the sick
and the SHINING. Either his work
was according to divine law or 1t
was not. II was either lawful or
lawless. AS a matter Of record, he
stated in various forms that his work
was according to Gods law. He said
that he came to do the win Of his
Father and the will Of God Is divine
law.
''Christian Science then is not the
name of religious sect. but a state
ment of the divine law by which the
Master Christian wrought his works.
Il. y 0tr NdHy ~ an
Science not only Is the spiritual
meaning or the Scriptures unfolded,
but this embodiment supports the
contention of Christian Science that
the understanding Of divine law Is
stroys- the effect of the So called ma
terial laws which have resulted in
sicknss and discord. The effect OF
the understanding Of divine law lie
always to heal and to save, and 1t Is
a well recognized fact that thousands
and thousands have been healed OF
sickness end sin through the study
of this Science. Indeed large ma
jority of those who have accepted
Christian Science were led to 1t be-
were healed after other methods
Man In The Image OF God
"Now Christian Science teaches
that man is the manifestation OF his
Maker. The Bible In the passage de-
c1aring that God made man in His
image after His likeness, is stating
an Inevitable conclusion. God could
not make man unlike Himself. and
man must express the divine nature
and character. The product Is al
ways like the source from which 1t
proceeds. The effect Is always &C
cording to the law which caused 1t.
'Iet US then consider the nature
that we, as children OF God, inherit
ali that God has Of health and
strength, peace and Joy, and an
abundance Of all that constitutes
Gods being.
1.-THE various terms which are ap-
piled to Deity are descriptive or ex-
pressive or certain qualities OF the
infinite being. They help US to un-
derstand the divine nature. When
there came to the consciousness OF
some seeker after Truth an added
understanding Of the nature Of God
what could be more natural than to
call God by that term which best ex-
pressed that nature? ST.
"The name Creator is commonly
applied to God In connection with His

presses the thought When we say
that anything is brought forth, gov
erned, or operated by Principle, we
understand that we are speaking Of
fundamental law, which we believe
cannot be changed, and which
is continuously in operation. Man
and the universe are acknowledged
TO have been brought forth accord
ing to Gods law,-that is, through
the operation OF divine Principle,
and having been brought forth as the
expression of Principle, they con-
tinue to be expressed only because
the divine law, the law OF devine
the Principle, continues In operation.
Divine Principle then is that from
which all proceeds and through
whose continued operation it exists.
The word Principle speaks to US or
God from the stand point OF His i'm
Yuutability. II shows US that with
Him Is no variableness, neither
shadow of turning Man can never
cease to be the direct effect of Prin-
cfple and for this reason he cannot
avoid inheritiag,--not in the future,
but now, the fullness of divine Love.
aGod includes all wisdom, infinite
Intelligence. He is divine Mind.
Mind is that which knows. Surely
then God is Mind, for is not God the
oniniscient, all-knowing One? Mrs.
