Miss Margaret Murney Glenn, c.
S. B., Of Boston, Mass, member Of
the Board of Lectureship, Mother
Church, The First Church of Christ,
Scientist, Boston, last night lee
tured in Cadle Tabernacle under
auspices Of Second Church of Christ,
Scientist, Indianapolis.
The title Of the lecture was
Christian Science: The Truth
About God and Man" Miss Glenn
said, in part:
When Mary Baker Eddy discov-
cred Christian Science as the law
of God which restores to us our
God bestowed freedom, health, and
purity, she wrote, I had learned
that thought must be spiritualized,
in order to apprehend Spirit. 1t
must become honest, unselfiSh, and
pure. in order to have the least
understanding of God in divine
Science. Our reliance upon ma
terial things must be transferred
to a perception of and dependence
OH SPIRITUAL JlIIlSS.
Action of the Human Will
GAIL will admit that mesmerism
requires no capitalization Of
thought for it is the action of the
human will, which is often mani
tested in selfiShness, cruelty, re-
venge, hatred, and envy, the very
opposite of spirituality. Christian
Science does not designate as a
healing power that which produces
physical relief only, leaving the pa
tents mentality encountered with
the domination of human will
power.
"As this will is opposed to the
divine will, which is Gods law of
good, it therefore contains all the
elements and possibilities of disease,
discord, and evil. Christian Science
not only brings the physical relief,
destroys the disease, but it spirit
ualizeS and enlightenS the con-
seriousness of the patient, making
him better morally, mentally, and
spiritually.
christian Science enables us to
know God and man, His image.
Unlike other so-called sciences, of
which it has been said that where
they end faith begins, this Science
lifts faith to understanding, to
knowing; unites reason and revela-
ton: WedS religion to Science.
Expected Us to Know"
"Jesus emphasized the fact that
through knowing we would gain
freedom and life eternal. He said:
'Ye shall know the truth, and the
truth shall make you free also,
This is life eternal, that they
might know thee the only true
God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou
hast sent
ut is quite evident that Jesus
expected us to know what he knew
The only thing which is movable
is Truth, that which is, or reality.
Jesus said that he knew God, that
he knew from whence he came and
whittier he was going, that he knew
the will of God that he knew he
was in God, that he was the Son
of God, and that he was one with
God.
This is the way the Christian
Scientist prays, by knowing the
ever presence, all-power, and ON
niaction of God, divine Love
eternal Life, immutable Truth. But
his knowing does not stop there
for he knows himself also as he is
known of God. And how does God
know man?'
Stresses Acknowledgment"
'TWhy, as His beloved child, as
the manifestation of His being, His
power, His intelligence, as the rep
resentative of Mind, not matter,
as the expression of Soul, not as the
victim of sin; as the reflection OF
harmonious Love, not as a suffering
sick mortal; as the unchanging idea
of changeless Principle, not as
touched by the mutations of time
disturbed by the crueltieS and buff
lettings of conflicting temperaments
Christian Science enables one &C
tually to know these facts, this
truth.
"A Christian Science treatment
consists of the acknowledgment OF
this divine manifestation Of God
as the only presence and power
right where, in belief, there seems
