AT NOON MEETING
Understanding Of God Most
important, Christian Sci
ence Speaker Says,

John w. Doorly, G. S. B., mem
Der of the board OF lectureship OF
First Church of Christ, Scientist,
Boston. Mass, iectured on Chris
tan Science: The Business Mans
Aid and Comfort" at Keiths at
noon today. He said In part;
1.-THE value of Christian Science
to bllsiless men and women, as to
all humanity, cannot be over-esti-
mated. Indeed, it is safe to say
that in business, as in every other
detail of human experience, the
knowledge of God and of Gods law,
which Christian Science brings to
one, is invaluable.
Jesus indicated that business had
everything to do with His relation to
God and with Gods law, when He
asked, 'Wist We not that / must be
about my Fathers business?' duke
2:49). Jesus, in fact, had no COM
junction In speaking about His min
istry as the Fathers business IL
is evident, therefore, that the word
business cannot. be confined to mere
money making.
Know God
"Christian Science declares that
the only true business a man can
ever be engaged in is to know ana
do the will of God, whether he be
in, his office, In his home. at his
games. at any time or under any
circumstances. Christian Science
further declares that. In such busi-
ness, a man will always have the
most desirable and the most poten-
tial assistance that any business
man can have, for he will have the
assistance Of God.
'If men would only lose the SUI
perstjIious belief that God is some
far.oi;, indefinite and unavailable be-
ing who operates according to
mefc.iess material laws, and II they
would begin to understand God as
the one, infinite, ever present, di-
vine Mind or intelligence who IS
ever available to His creation
through right thoughts or through
spiritual thinking, then mankind
would indeed begin to lay hold on
God, on the divine Mind, through
correct thinking. This correct think
ing. or this laying hold on God,
would deliver from evil of every
kind.
Business is Just one part of hui
man experience, and Christian Sci
ence declares that whatever is good
for business and whatever Is helpful
IN business, is also good and helpful
IN every \other phase Of human ex-
perience. It further declares that
Yothing is good and nothing is help
ful but that which emanates from
the one divine Mind, God.
I'm fact Christian Science is proving
to mankind that nothing is worth
while, and consequently that nothing
is good business, but the ability to
understand God, the divine Mind,
Alright. and then to make this under
standing practical In every detail OF
our lives, including our business ex-
periences.
