Gives Christian Science In
depreciation of Words
"Kingdom of Heaven"

lecture on Christian Science and
the Kingdom Of Heaven" was deliv-
cred last night in First Church OF
Christ, Scientist, by Paul Stark
Seeley, c. S. B.. of Portland. Greg.
Mr.. Seeley is member Of the board
of lectureship of the mother church,
the First Church of Christ. Scientist,
in Boston. He was introduced by
Elmer /. Baldwin. The lecturer said,
in part:
Christ Jesus began His epoch-mak-
ing ministry with the imperative com
mand, Repent, for the kingdom of
heaven Is at hand
Stitement of Jesus.
Let US note that Jesus statement
concerning the presence of God and
His kingdom could not have been
made II He had had no other evidence
OF existence than that which His eyes
saw and His ears heard. These senses
saw an order wherein His countrymen
were under the Roman yoke, the
Pharisees were in Moses seat and
the human race was in subsection to
sin, disease and death. Jeus gave
no weight to this order, but with His
thought fixed on higher order of
existence He confidently said. Repent.
for the kingdom of heaven is at
later declared by Paul, Eye hath not
seen, nor ear heard the things
which God hath prepared. II, then,
we cannot perceive God and His king
dom with our eyes and ears how are
we TO find Him and His creation!
Through spiritual sense
"One of the happy things ali Chris
tian Science is that it explains now near
God is simply by showing that God is
mind the author of every good thought
Our bodies do not have 10 move an inch
But We do have to make "A move in our
thought The move is from the wrong
TO the right point Of view of existence,
from the material to the spiritual basis
OF thought. One mentally emlgrates
from the Land OF Bad, where the giants
of Poverty, Fear, Hate and sickness
seem to rule. to the Land of Good, where
the only lawgiver is the all loving and
all-wise God.
Denial of Evil.
A Christian Science treatment includes
denial of the claims of evil and aitlr-
nation of the facts of being as known
to God a lie when answered by truth
becomes silent, whether the lie be
slander or a sickness. In Revelation,
John saw that the dragon, typifying
all evil and sickness, was cast out
knife, but by the word of their
testimony. This is the method or
Christian Science, the bearing of true
testimony in thought and word, tesu-
flying Alright of God and His man.
christian Science is applicable to
every human need. Poverty and lack
may be overcome the same as sick
ness. When confronted with the false
arguments of limitation, if we would
turn our thought to the God appoint
ed order of existence instead of look
ing into the bottomless pit of error
the unfounded beliefs of evil-we
would find that love has already pro
vided fully for mans every need. This
provision becomes evident in the pro-
portion that love reigns within US.
Limitation denies wisdom and i'm
pugns love. Limi Ia tion is the essence
of matter and evil. Evil argues linn
tied supply, limited happiness, limit
ed life, limited activity, limited un-
Outstanding, limited capacity, limited
everything. 1t is the firm of Evil
and Company, Limited This evil
partn ership has been adjudicated by
Christian Science and found bank
rupt It has no assets, no place of
business, no reliable business connec-
tions and it's dissolution is rapidly
being accomplished"
