SCIENTIST
TALK

Sir Henry Japp, of London, who is
touring the United States, delivered
a lecture in Washington. at the Ma
sonic Auditorium, under auspices OF
the Christian Science Parent Church,
on Advancing Steps in Christian
Science" He said. in part:
christian Science is not sect nor
merely one OF many healing cults, as
is commonly believed. 1t Is an evo.
lutionary system Of self-goyernment
and world transformation, operating
in accordance with universal law and
iimpelling individual and collective
health, peace and true progress. To
consider 1t as sectarian movement
Is to misunderstood it's mission and
limit its world possibilities, both for
the individualt and for the collective
body OF mankind.
1.-THE understanding and practice
tof Christian Science, like everything
else. must progress. To stand still
in any line of endeavor is to stag
nate. The founder Of Christian
Science has written that Progress
is the law of God" Therefore, true
progress means going forward in ac-
cordance with an eternal, omnipotent
law.
Spiritual evolution is anlunrolling
or unfolding of ideas. In Jesus time
the Bible story was written on a
length Of parchment attached at
each end to rollers, The story was
rolled on the bottom roller. AS the
story was read It evolved or unfold
ed. The story was complete from
the beginning, but it could not be
read and understood until it was un.
rolled.
In the same way, Gods. creation
of the universe and man always has
been perfect and complete, but it can
!, be seen in its perfection and COM
pleteness only as it evolves In hui
man consciousness. Christian Science
teaches that spiritual evolution alone
IS worthy Of the exercise of divine
power, and that Christian Science
presents llnfoldment not accretion." !"

The vast mechanical progress
Of the last decade has not af-
fected the fundamentals Of Chris
tian ethics. The great discoveries
Of science have in no way in
validated the doctrines Of Chris
tianity.
Indeed, the SNUG materialism
of another generation has been
all but abandoned by modern
thinkers. The Victorian assurance
of science has been superseded
by an attitude of humility. !
Spiritual law is eternal. In a
world where all truth at times
seems relative, we may yet have
confidence that the time never
will come when kindness will not
be a virtue, when courage will
not be preferred to cowardice.
We have not, and viii not,
improve on the moral dicta of
Christ. No modern teacher has
outmoded Him. An occasional
radical affects to regard Christ
as an unlettered PEASANT
Such view, on The face Of it,
is absurd. Is it not more reason
able that the moral grandeur of
the statements of Christ recorded
in the Gospels should have
amanated from Him rather than
from the Gospel writer's?
The fact is evident, and no one
can explain it away, that the
religious, teachings Of Christ are
supreme in beauty and authority.
One thing is sure. Someone gave
% men the Sermon on the Mount.
Someone conceived the ineffahle
beauty of the seven sentences on
the cross. Someone uttered the
majestic parable of the Lost
Sheep.
Shall we say that four men,
writing at different times, created
a character such as Christ? Does
anyone believe the Gospel writers

Christianity
and Character
BY the Rev. Edward Taber

were capable of literature as
dazzlingly beautiful as the re-
corded utterances of Jesus? To
ask the question is to answer it.
For centuries men have argued
as to the relative Importance o.
faith and works. The church has
insisted on belief as prerequisite
to Christianity.
That character is in large part
dependent on faith none can
deny. Religion and morality are
closely related. 1t is entirely pos
sible, of course, that person
who has abandoned a belief IN
God may lead what is termed a
fgood" life. And yet such one
at least has faith in goodness.
He believes that there are GER
tain things he has no right to
do, and certain things he is in.
honor compelled to do.
It is also true that a philosophy
of despair tends to weaken moral
fiber, and that faith in the
things for which Christianity con-
tends makes for character.
The fisherman who became one
of the great Apostles of the
church, st. Peter, was one of the
many examples of men whose
lives were ennobled and trans
figured through contact with ann
faith in Christ.
After the resurrection, Christ
asked Peter three times, Simon,
son of Jonas, lowest thou met"
Each time the disciple avowed
his devotion. The repeated in
quiry brought a reminder to
Peter of his denial of the Savior
before the crucifixion. u
Throughout the early days of
the church, Peter was dominat
ing figure. His former vacillat-
ing character had been trans
formed by his faith in "the
Christ, the son of the living
God"
