CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
LECTURER HERE
SAYS REMEDY FOR ALL EVIL LIES
in POWER OF RIGHT
THOUGHT.

A good sized audience heard Mrs.
Blanche K. Corby, San Francisco,
Christian Science lerturer, who spoke
in the Cornwall building yesterday
afternoon on THE Truth that Heals"
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 intense thinking on things
spiritual and religious as there is to-
day. Advanced thinkers are realizing
that the world can never be rebuilt
from the old basis of materiality and
continue in a state anything short of
anarchy; and that true constructive
league can be founded only upon the
basis of spiritual regeneration.
"It 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
realm of the supernatural and imprac-
tical and reveals it as a normal condi-
ton. Spirituality is right thinking,
and can be applied in all of the detail
and routine of every day life. Chris
tian Science has taught us that we can
think rightly about all that we have
to do. The remedy for all evil lies
in the power of right thought; there
is nothing that can be substituted for
it. Our highest concept of everything
is the best that we can express;
therefore the more spiritual the think
ing, the more is expressed of health,
harmony, and better environment.
Everyone 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
the spiritualization OF
thought. Christian Science does not
require the giving up of anything that
is good and true It is only the false
gods of material beliefs that must pc
got rid of in order to gain that whlch
is altogether lovely. Christian Sci
ence teaches that only as we know
God can we possess and express the
things most desirable.
e Jesus announced that He came to
destroy the works of the devil and
10 do his fathers will. His pro-
'essed followers cannot question that
He came to do that which was law
'ul and right In the destruction or
Ill evil He proved that disease as
we'll as sin is not in accord with the
aw of God, but is the work of the
levil or one evil. He used no mater1-
Il means, He ascribed no credit to
himself. but always gave God the
glory. Jesus did not limit the heal
ng to His day alone, when He In
,tructed His followers to go out into
he world to preach the gospel to
very nation and to heal the sick.
AdGed to this was His admonition to
those who believe on Him to do
.reater works than He had done, not
greater in quality but in quantity
"For centuries the world has STUN
lied on without definite understand
ne of what constitutes true prayer.
Under great stress of suffering or dis
lster there is sometimes a desire to
NOW how to pray, but in spite OF
ears and importunate yearning, much
# the prayer of the world is never
answered. In James we read 'Ye
SIX, and receive not, because ye ask
miss Games 4:3)
Mrs Eddy teaches that the only
ffectual prayer is the prayer OF
esus-the recognition of the allness
# God and the availability of that
illness for every human need. True
rayer is not suppiication through
lind faith, in other words, asking
Iod to answer prayer; it is utilizing
nd making practical the goodness of
Sod. True prayer brings thought
nto accord with divine mind and de-
lares and demonstrates the spiritual
acts of being"
