Robert Stanley Ross, C. S., :. Speaks at Camp School
Speaking at the Camp schoo

Speaking at the Camp school auditorium last evening, Robert Stanley Ross, c. S., delivered an address on Christian Science: The Religion of Reality" Mir. Ross is member of the board of lecture ship of the mother church, the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston. His address, in part, was as follows:
 Tn one of the mot solemn and impressive incidents recorded in the New Testament, Luke tells us that Jesus, after returning to Naza- reth from what may have been a period of preparation at Jerusalem, went into the synagogue (probably by invitation) to expound the Scriptures to his fellow-townsmen, with many of whom, no doubt, he had once played and worked. In those days. it was customary to honor distinguished visitors and guests in this manner. Further more, Jesus, having now reached evidently the required age of thirty years, before which none was sup posed to preach in public, appears to have entered here upon the work of his ministry.
 When Jesus stood up to read, the minister handed to him the book of the prophet Isaiah. Turn ing to what we know as the sixty first chapter, Jesus read: The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, be- cause he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. He then closed the book, returned 1t to the minister, sat down, and said, This day is this scripture full filled in your ears In proof there of, immediately after leaving Naza- reth, he began to perform his mighty works of healing.
 Divine Law
 Jesus was no magician or occult wonder-worker aiming to set aside or nullify Gods law. He did not practice mesmerism, so-called men tai science, or auto-suggestion in the hope of persuading sick peo- pie to believe they were well. He came to fulfill and enforce funda- mental divine law; to illustrate its utility and availability in that age and for the ages to come. He proved that this law of God, this law of infinite good, is the law of life. of health. and of happiness to you, to me, and to all mankind. He demonstrated the supremacy of good notwithstanding the seeming presence and power of evil. He brought to light out of tho realm of spiritual reality the truth about God and man in much the same manner that heretofore unknown facts in the realm of material phe- nomena have been discovered and made available to humanity not withstanding their temporary re- jection by customary belief and ex- perience.
 Good Ever Available
 Christian Science is demonstrat- ing that it is the Christianity of Je- sus made practicable today. Now as of old, 1t is showing mankind how to escape from evil. No mat ter how long one has been i'll. nc matter ho wdeeply one is involved in sin, no matter how heavy ones burden of sorrow, poverty. or care, Christian Science lovingly points the way out. not through death and the so-called hereafter, but here and now. The Bible tells us that the kingdom of God, the king dom of heaven. is at hand. here,
