GOD THE SOURCE
OF ALL GOODNESS,
SAYS SCIENTIST
Judge Frederick c, Hill Speaks
on Divine Healing at
Murat TheateL

Describing briefly the character OF
Mary Baker Eddy's discovery Of
Christian Science. Judge Frederick c.
Hill. C. S. of Clinton, ILL.,, member Of
the board of lectureship, First Church
of Christ, Scientist, Boston, Mass,
gave a lecture on Christian Science:
Gods Revelation of Spiritual Heal
ing" at the Murat Sunday.
In the consideration of Christian
Science" said Judge Hill, lit is alb
solutely essential to understand the
nature of good and evil and to be able
to distinguish between that which is
intrinsically good and that which pre-
sents merely the appearance Of good
Christian Science declares in no
uncertain manner that God is the
source of all good and that the human
the carnal-mind is the procuring
cause of all evil. 1t presents logical,
irrefutable proof that man lives by
divine decree, and that the Scriptural
text. In Him we live and move and
have our being declares the real
status of man and not merely an emo
tional theory.
Evil Not Material
1T declares emphatically that evil is
not "A person, place or thing; that II Is
not a cause or creator and that there
is no realm or dominion over which
evil is the sovereign power. In fact,
il denies that evil has any power ex-
cent such as il assumes in human be-
lief. and it then destroys this assumed
power by overcoming this assumed
power by overcoming the human mind
with the divine Mind.
Christian Science presents TO you
the conception of God as infinite
Mind, Spirit, Soul. Principle. Life,
Truth. Love. It presents nothing
about Him save that which Is sup
ported and sustained by Bible author
ity and which is rational and comfort
ing
Gods Creation Mental
When it is perceived that God is
infinite divine Mind it at once becomes
apparent that like produces like,
hence His creation must of necessity
be mental and not material. God
must be sought and found. If at all
through the avenue. Of divine Mind
and not in or through matter.
a Christian Science treatment is
conscientious effort based upon a SIN
csre desire to bring into human ex-
perience the enduring, the gooo. and
the true so that by the renewing OF
the mind it can be proved what IS
that perfect will of God.
Medium Of Prayer
This happy and desirable mental
condition is established through the
medium of prayer. There is great
'ack of understanding among Chris
tian people as to what constitutes true
Trayer. This lack Of absolute knowl-
edge is the procuring cause Of much
error and accounts for the erroneous
belief that Christian Scientists do
not pray. Such belief has no founda-
ton in fact. They pray continually
end UNDERSTANDING and the fruits OF
their prayer are rich blessings to hui
mainly.
1T must be remembered, however,
that in their prayers they do not sup
plicate God to conform His will to
theirs or to change His infinite de
sign. Neither do they charge Him
with human delnquencies and as a
matter of course they do not petition
Him to remedy or correct that which
He has not created. They do pray to
Him from the standpoint of sincere
desire and absolute faith that all /
things are possible to Him. and such
prayer is answered by driving out OF
human consciousness the diseased,
erroneous images of thought and let
