ANSWER SIMPLE"
The lecturer said, in part:
There are many intelligent PEG.
pie who have never Investigated the
subject of Christian Science; and at
times one hears this expression:
Christian Scientists talk great
deal about DiScovePer and
Founder. Who is that Discoverer?
What was discovered? What sas
founder"
1.-THE answer TO all of these
queries is simple. An intelligent,
deVout, Christian woman, Mary
Baker Eddy, is the Discoverer and
Founder Of Christian Science. Early
in childhood she became deeply re-
ligious and was an efficient and
progressive student of the Bible.
Through an earnest study and re-
search Of the Scriptures she proved
that perfect trust and confidence
in Gods laws are followed by fixed
and absolute results, She further.
more proved that God governs His
universe including man, through
infinite intelligence: and that in.
finite intelligence constitutes and
embraces absolute law. She IKE.
wise proved that absolute law. is
immutable Interchangeable. and that
it can be understood and intelli.
gently applied; and when under
stood and accordingly applied. alb
solute law sets aside and nullifies
the false beliefs oft designated and
termed natural or human law.
CURED HERSELF
During her investigation and re-
search an injury caused by an ac-
cident led her, to apply these alb
solute. immutable laws to her then
apparently helpless condition: and
through her understanding and the
intelligent application of these laws
she was healed. Through this ex-
perience she had proved for herself
that Gods laws are immutable,
available and operative. She dis.
covered the Divine laws Of Life,
Truth and Love- (Science & Health,
p. 1919. and she named that discov-
cry Christian Science.
AFTER her discovery and healing
she wrote and published a book.
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures and designated this
book the Christian Science Text
Book Many people believe that
Christian Scientists regard this book
as the Bible, and that they substi.
tute 1t for the Bible This belief
is unfounded and untrue. The
Christian Science text book is not
the Bible nor a substitute for it.
1t is merely that which its name i'm
piles: A Key Spiritual interpre-
tation Of Gods Interchangeable laws
set forth In the Bible.
FOUNDED A CHURCH
TN. due time this New England
woman esta blished a church--'The
First Church of Christ, Scientist, in
Boston. Mass: and throughout the
world there have been established
many legitimate and authorized
branches Of this church.
Christian Scientists love this
Christian woman and they are
deeply grateful for the years Of
loyal devotion given by her in estab-
fishing this cause. AS a testimony
Of their loyalty, devotion and graft.
tude, they are striving to preserve,
protect. and make available, her
discovery. They are striving to APP
ply it to the needs Of humanity.
And they are earnestly striving to
live up to her high standard OF a
genuine Christian Scientist thus
,defined:-'C Christian Scientists abide
by the laws OF God and the laws
Of the land: and, following the com.
mand Of the Master, they go into
ali the world, preaching the gospel
and healing the sick miscellany,
p. 1881 Moreover, they love their
enemies, even those that hate them.
This we all must do to be Christian
