&AH GARANA&th0AA VI bAAC RAA@ASAEA%~ of Christian Science was given yesterday at the Waterbury Wo- mems club by Charles V. Winn, O. S. B., of Pasedena, California, member of the board of lecturs- ship of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass.
 Christian Science: The Avail- ability of Good Revealed" was the topic of MT Winn's address, which was sponsored by the First Church of Christ, Scientist, of this city. FOilowing Is the complete lectures;
 1t has been weil said that every one is in need of some form ut rood. To find a human being wholly satisfied with his lot would be a rare discovery. To attempt to find one whose every human need Is abundantly supplied wuold be 8 futile search. Everyone could use more of good than he now pos- sesses, Then are we constantly striving toward the unattainables ? Are our best efforts doomed to re- suit in failure? Are our earnest labors to go unrewarded? Em- phatically, no! Hear the loving appeal of the prophet of old, "Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price," The greatest teacher of all time, Jesus the Christ, thus counseleu his followers: Ask, and it shall be given you; seek and ye shall find; knock, and 1t shall be opened unto you," Here we have an invitation and a promise that are without restriction; they know no bound of cline or race; they are free from partiality or limitations; they are universal and permanent.
 Loves Invitation
 For whom does this invitation come? From the ever present Christ, revealing infinite Love, th4 source of all good, the one and only creator, the one perfect cause, the origin of all that is true and real. It is an invitation to sit at the table of infinite Love and partake of the infinite good that our Fother- Mother God has freely prepared for all. It is a perpetual call to quench our thirst at. the fount of illimitable good, to come to the banqueting house of infinite Soul. The call is to everyone, at all times and under all conditions. If is not limited as to time, restricted as to place, or partial as to persons It is universal in its appeal, is never withdrawn, nor suspended.
 How Good Is Gained
 How is one to avail himself of this good? How is one to attain these unrestricted blessings? How is one to bring them into his indi- vidual experience? How is one to gain these rich possessions Christian Science answers all these questions to anyone's perfect sat- isfaction. In the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" CD. 236), Mary Baker Eddy, the Dis- coverer and Founder of Christian Science, says, Hence the import ance of Christian Science, from which we learn of the one Mind and of the availability of good as the remedy for every woe" What a solace to struggling humanity! What a source of encouragement. to everyone in need to know that there is an infinite good that is al- ways available and is divinely ade- quate to furnish an unfailing rem- edy for every problem; that there is a divine ever-presence potent to meet and satisfy every human need! What greater blessing could come to anyone than to learn this eternal fact?
 True Understanding
 To learn is to gain an under standing or comprehension of something, that is. to discern its true nature or character. To avail ourselves of the power of God or good we must understand Gods nature and character. To demon strate or to utilize truth we must understand that truth. Our ability to demonstrate a fact is dependent on our understanding of that fact, hence the admonition of Scripture, "Inciine thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to under standing" And again we read in Proverbs. with all thy getting get sion of Christian Science. to teach about God, infinite good. and thus enable us to be good, do good, ex- perience good, to lay hold of good,
 
 be a Science of good, and as we perceive 1t we can prove it and avail ourselves of it.
 Good Defined
 On page 5S7, of the Christian Science textbook we have this most helful definition of good God; Spirit; omipotence; omnis- cience; omipresence; omni-action.' Christian Scienc ce uniformity teaches that to God belong three great ver4ties: that He is on1nipo' tent or all-powerful; omniscient oi all-knowins; omnipresent or every where present. In strict accord with true Christianity. Christian Science adheres to these fundamehta truths and it also shows us how we can practically apply them.
