CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
CREED EXPLAINED.
Ohio Lecturer Tells of Revelation
Of Gods Blessings" in
Talk Here.

A lecture on Christian Science: The
Revelation Of Gods Blessings was
delivered in First Church of Christ
Scientist last evening by Salem An
drew Hart. G. S. B., of Cleveland, Ohio,
Mr.. Hart is a member of the board of
lectureship of the mother church. the
First Church of Christ Scientist, in
E. Yocum. first reader of First Church.
under whose auspices the lecture was
given.
He said in part:
Among the comprehensive teachings
Of Christ Jesus are found the wiSest of
counsel and a perfect criterion for
righteous living. In His sermon on
the mount he covered every condition
of life, so that none need be in doubt
any and all circumstances. The logic
Of the Masters teachings is so perfect
that it cannot be denied. The apostle
Paul took up the work of full disciple
ship with the Master, helping to es-
tablish the Christian Church upon the
Nazarene's teachings, and Jesus true
followers for long period did likewise.
But doubt and fear presented them
selves, vision again became darkened.
the works ceased to be performed and
discipleship became largely a question
of doctrine and belief. rather than of
understanding and works. Christian
Science has revived the works OF the
early Christians, and again the sick are
healed and the sinner reformed through
spiritual means alone.
Christian Science IS doing much to
revive confidence in the assurance of
Gods government of His universe and
the manifestation of His law In the
affairs of men, by renewing interest in
the demonstration and acceptance of
Jesus teachings Christian Science is
the restoration of primitive Christianity
and it asserts with perfect faith that
God is at hand and available to solve
every problem which may present itself.
Also 1t repeats and reiterateS the as
surance that the Lords hand is not
shortened, that it cannot save and
that God Is love and has ordained no
law of sin or sickness for us; that God
is living God whom men may come
to know through gaining the mind OF
Christ. When we realize that man is
the image and likeness of God. there
fore pure and perfect, mans true re-
lationShip as a child of God Is estan-
lished in thought. When we awaken
to this truth and realize mans true
sonship his oneness with his Father
Mother God, how realistic and assuring
are the words recorded in the gospel
of ST. Matthew. Blessed are the pure
in heart. for they shall see Cod
Christian Science brings to us
clearly the richness Of Gods blessings
and an understanding of eternal life,
and 1t behooves us to pause and ponder
in silence these blessings"

Religious Questions
DISCUSSED BY
DISCUSSED BY
DR.. S. Parkes Cadtnan.

their expression, but their objective is
one and the same. For them, as for
us, Christ Is the complete reality of
divine and human existence. The
mystical and sacramental worship of
the church contains that divine life
which battles the attacks Of her foes
and defeats the erroneous defenseS OF
her friends.
These three approaches are one in
the Master. They intertwine and grow
together. The emphasis upon them
shifts according to tradition and tenn
permanent or habit and circumstance.
Friction between them may be largely
superfluous, but it makes for their mu-
tual publication. The organization of
the sacred society on the earth has
unique significance. It's claims may be
exaggerated by ecclesiastics whose
office hardens on them like a shell.
the intellectual appeal of competent
guides tears down their barriers. The
mystical in Christianity, as found in
its life-giving power, is common to
all its adherents. Gen. Booth and the
Pontiffs of the Curia alike share that
life. To deny this is to deny its giver,
and few Zealots will carry their par
t1sanshtp to such an extreme, because
nearly all Christians are better than
their doctrinal systems.
I thank you for your question. II
carries us back to the foundations OF
Christian churchship, Christian think
ing and Christian living. 1t confronts
us with the essentials of our religion
and the chief sources of civilized
progress. We are often told that
simplihcation Is Christianitys CHIEF
need. I submit that what 1t really
needs Is discipline. An ordered religion
with due reverence for its different
forms, methods and PHILOSOPHERS, and
due appreciation of its regeneratine
strength, would enable the secularized
multitudes to see through the church
as the lamp of Christ, how truly He is
the way to the truth and life of the
Father.
