The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1926-12-10

An attentive audience, which In
eluded persons fNOm Livingston and
o'her nearby points, last Sunday af-
ternoon at the Emerson auditorium
heard an interesting lecture on Chris
4ian Science by Salem Andrew Hart
Of Cleveland, Ohio, a member of the
board Of ~lectureship Of the Mother
church of Boston, Mass.
The speaker was introduced by
Walter Davis, who said in part:
1.-THE great need of the world to-
day is to know the true nature Of
Cod. Jesus proved that this truth
about God, when applied, would free
mankind from sin, sickness, and even
death. His followers also proved this
for almost three centuries after the
erucifixiOn.
MARY Baker Eddy, through her
life study of the Bible, discovered the
Diving divine principle which was
tauoht and demonstrated by the Mas
ter, and she has shown in Christian
Science how we may avail ourselves
of this healing and saving grace.
"The healing efficacy of Christian
Science was demonstrated to me some
20 years ago when / was healed
through this means of a leakage of
the heart, after physicians had pro-
nounced my case incurable.
Our lecturer this afternoon will
cell us something of this Christ truth,
and it's application to u needs.
ct gives me pleasure to present
Salem Andrew Hart, C. S., of Cleve-
3and. Ohio, a member of the board OF
3ectureship of the Mother church, the
First Church of Christ, Scientist, N
Boston, Mass"
MI. Hart spoke as follows:
When the seventy disciples, whom
Jesus had sent forth on a mission o
healing, returned with rejoicing, tn,
Bible tells us that he said to them
Behold, I give unto you power Il
tread on serpents and scorpions, an.
over all the power of the enemy: an
nothing shall by any means hur
you (Luke 1919. This promise
or assurance, of spiritual power t
ha2. is beautifully set forth in tn
following correlative passage on pag
So of the Christian Science textbook
Science and Health with Key to th
Scriptures by Mary Baker Ed!
the Discoverer and Founder Of Chri:
tian Science: "The promises will b
fulfilled. The time for the reappeal
ing of the divine healing is through
out all time; and whatsoever layet
his earthly all on the altar of diviT
Science, drinketh of Christ's cup nov
aud is enbued with the spirit an
power of Christian healing"
Webster defines the word "pron
Use" as that which causes, or Civ
ground for, hope, expectation, assn
.snce. Now, I feel sure that we W
all agree that the promises made
the Bible are true, and were the
for all time; so have we not the rig
10 expect the fulfillment of the
promises? Christian Science ar
we~s this question in the affirm
tiye, and is fulfilling the promise
health and long life to the Athlete
of deliverance and forgiveness to t
shining; Of comfort and protect
to the sorrwful; of peace and pier
to those in want and woe; of wisdt
and strength to the humble a
obedient. It fulfills Gods prom
found in Isaiah: "And L will bring
blind by a way that they knew n
/ will lead them in paths that Il
have not known: l will make da
ness light before them, and croOl
things straight. These things vii
do unto them, and not fOrsake the
Isaiah 1919. So, if there be
