learnlearn the truth about God, and to

"a1 th6n the subject of Christian Science.
Inc The lecturer spoke as follows
onTe once knew golden hearted
e'sr .sS clergyman, whose life was an inspira-
- Et+s~1' tioii,s whose ministry was benedic-
S ti6ii,-one Of those rare servants of
EssS the Lord whose calling of God raised
go &C. him above creed and dogma, filling
Es4@ his heart with compassion and his
esssssst hands with mercies, He continually
80 80 Went about doing good One of my
tdhood's treasured memories is the
80 picture Of this beloved pastor strid-
~ ssg ing back and forth in his study, the
- teears streaming down his face as he
.f7as acEjed, "Oh, it is glorious to preach
- Christi" A modern prophet-shepherd,
a,sN watchful of his flock, he must have
.sss.aak sssnn gfimpsed the ecstasy of the vision
.sxoaS yotchsafed to Simeon of old: mine
). - Is eyes have seen thy salvation, which
~ 80 s1It Ith61 a,, hast prepared before the face
= Ss:77of all people; light to tighten the
TELL 4 tentiies, and the glory of thy people
Zas Israel Glorious to preach Christ |!
81. Yes my friends, and it is even more
as.s sasaa gforious to live Christ, as did this
prza'S ars scher- pastor of my boyhood's mem
Su1gs ofys His was the heart of the true
GO" a evangelist
a4sS Sos lNot long ago, read in metropol-
- : 5-it tit&1f newspaper list of no less than
- ~S a. dozen evangelistic campaigns going
s1,.,,sn -I- a. yonin that city That both i'm
pEessive and typical. Since the day
~ - =: when the priest Zacharias foretold
- 81 A0Sof his infant son that he should give
80 ki knowledge of salvation to the peoples
- since the day when Mary's concept of
80 truth became to her the living Christ,
:@aaa Sand she cried: "My spirit hath re-
.s;ss4 $50 oioiced in God my Saviour" since the
1s - ight when the angel Gabriel, the mes
.ssS0 sage of divine Love- proclaimed to
4a;s 5.eey sfha1 shepherds: "Fear not: for, be-
s~11' s~~g bold, bring you good tidings of great
~. sSs' v5oy, which shall be to all people;' all
sI vthe way of Christendom, men with
: .ars the vision Of Christ in their faces
.'gT - T, have striven to turn that white blaze
- - or Truth upon darkened and stricken
.esSHAa - humanity Christians are one as to
80 the propriety and necessity of this
- -~,11gforHied service. "Do the work of
-.3aF ~ IN evangelist said Paul, and with
aeS@ injunction all Christianity agrees
ia Ssssv1z-11As.Atske full proof of thy ministry"
@s.,iSr6 e5e1 Pau added, but with that Christian
go Science alone agrees
,,-sf5oiII;s What is true evangelism? Many
- - e11glons have arrogated to themselves
1,1; ,- answer to that question, but it is
.rts1;~+ Obvious that only the master Evan
.-r-@zra geHst, Jesus, could determine authori-
slpSS,rct ctatfvely what true evangelism is and
-----+ define the work of an evangelist Paul
= must have meant: Do the work Jesus
- declared to be that of an evangelist
- Luke asserts that the Master sent his
80 disciples "to preach the Kingdom of
- - God, and to heal the sick" Again,
el.gr Jesus instructed the students of the
5e11 +rlenorable class of seventy "And
[71~ heal the sick, and say unto them,
f-r+o The Kingdom of God is come nigh
~7.-s;van1to - you" And finally he said to all
.%.-.L Christians for all time: go,
- -, teach all nations;" "These signs shall
III follow them that believe; . J.. they
3.T7 shall lay hands on the sick, and they
shall recover"
- It is conceded by all that the spir-
= - ,1-.o ftnal healing of physical disease was
- - proof of Jesus Messiahship. But
-1; - that is an incomplete explanation.
80 - His; works were truly an Important
80 part of his mission; they proved not
- only his divine authority, but also the
sSsSo1o ~ - power of Christ to destroy all evil.
- Theology has taught that these works
- were possible to Jesus and his early
s = students because of a special dispen-
$500 satipn, and were utilized to establish
.s'a1S ss% Jesus claim to be Christ, and later,
~ - g for "a limited time, to establish the
- - - = church. Granting that the people of
- - those days were influenced favorably
z - by these exhibitions, is it not evident
..-aS .aS that the people of to-day still need to
80 1-sL9 turn to Christianity? Do they not
