Iva able and entertaining writer, ad-
yances a new idea. Discussing the
life Of insects he advances the theory
that they may yet overrun the earth
and be ''the rivals Of our last hours
and perhaps our successors"
There have been a thousand and
one opinions Of what would happen
to the human race In the ages to come
what would be the conditions on
this speck in the universe when the
last day should dawn. But this is the
first time that the writer has ever
come across the theory that the In

liam G, Biederman. first reader of First
Church, under whose auspices the lee
( ture was given
The lecturer said in part:
The following interesting statement
was made short time ago by Prof. j.
A. Fleming of the University of Lon
don; The physical universe is a
thought rather than q thing. and
thought implies and neceSsitates a
thinker Physical science, therefore. is
gradually. approaching the standpoint
Of Christian Science: Namely. that Ali
Is mind and that mind alone creates.
governs, originates: that all cause is
mental and therefore effect is
mental and amenable to mind; that
the universe itself is a thought rather
than thing Let us see where this
will lead us and what it will bestow
upon us. 1t leads us to discover where
IN lies the mastery of circumstances
and conditions. 1t bestows on us the
power TO heal ard prevent disease. II
frees us from the limitations with which
the belief IN matter and material think
ing has bound us and from which we
have not known how 10 escape. Per-
haps 1t Is this helpleSsness, this inabil-
ity OF mankind to overcome or avoid
calamity. that makes its heaviest bur-
den. There is no one so happy tha. he
would not like TO be able to protect and
SO insure that happiness
Now this helplessness is due to the
belief that man is matter, that his
troubles are material, and that he has
no control over them Once take the
position that all Is mind. that the uni
verse and all 1t includes is the product
OF mind. and Immediately the remedy
appears. For If thought is the cause
of the trouble, then a change of thought
can alter it. If a thought causes this
or that condition, then an opposite
thought viii change the condition
Now We have all been given the
power 70 think, and we all already be-
lieve that We can or should control our
thoughts. Therefore, If everything is in
the flrst instance thing of thought,
and We can all think, how much control
should we have, how much dominion
over this earth? And what Is the ma
lure Of this dominion? 1t is evident
reasoning from this standpoint. that
mind controls and governs all. and man
the outcome Of mind. possesses this do
minion.'
