alton of Christian healing by the
Science which Mrs. Eddy discover
ed and revealed to this age, her fol-
lowers thank God with increasing
gratitude. Through it thousands

more evidence of spiritual good and
its corresponding provision for the
human need.
Christian Scientists are taught
never to forget their calling. They
realize that to them has come a
definite responsibility to keep alive.

living, the religion of Christ Jesus

its promise in the words of Mrs
Eddy (Science and Health, p 345)
when the omnipotence of God is
preached and His absoluteness is
set forth, Christian sermons will
heal the sick"
In Christlike faith, heavenly in
spiration, and understanding, let us
go forth to prove how Truth saves
and heals. While not at all easy
because of seeming human resist
ance, each one can prove for him
self mans reflection of good.

A LECTURE
On
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Entitled
Christian Science: How 1t
Meets the Human Need


Member of the Board of Lecture
ship of The Mother Church, The
First Church of Christ, Scientist, in
Boston, Massachusetts
Centuries ago, sweet singer of
Israel poured forth in glorious tone
a message or hymn of praise to
God, foretelling His unfailing good
ness, protection, and love. Credited
to David, this wonderful song, since
called the twenty-third Psalm, stirs
the hearts and thought of all Chris
tians, for they see in it the grace of
God at once tender, loving, and
most kind. Hear the impelling
words of the songs immortal prom
ise: 'The Lord is my shepherd; I
shall not want" Could message be
more comforting, more vitality en-
couraging and helpful?
Long after David, there appeared
a woman whose search for Truth
brought her finally to the conclu-
sion of the Psalmist and our Mas
ter, and she, too, saw God as He
really is. This woman, Mary Bak-
er Eddy, in desperate need, after
many years of experimental re-
search in almost every method of
healing, turned to the Holy Scrip
lures to discover, in the teachings
of Christ Jesus, the true meaning
of the Old and New Testament
writings the inspiring prophecies
of the Bible. To her discovery
Mrs. Eddy gave the name of Chris
tan Science, for she recognized it
as the Science of the Christ, the
true law of Life. Through Mrs.
Eddy's concept of the one God, our
heavenly Father, as revealed in
Christian Science, we are bound to
discover the only Savious and Re
deemer, the healing Truth which
never fails
When David expressed his sense
of God as a loving Shepherd, surely
he saw in Him, in absolute Truth,
what religiously-minded persons
must ever desire to see, to know
and prove. David, or the writer of
the Psalm, has helped all mankind
to understand God, what He is.
and what He does for man.
The Bible and Prophecy
The prophecy of a people who
Smyrna times., 1940-02-29

would be free, foretold in Scripture
and repeated in the writings of
Mrs. Eddy, points directly to the
enduring nature of all that is good,
and the eventual disappearance of
what is not-the beliefs of sin, dis
ease, and death. With the coming
of good in thought, purpose, and
plan, the bad or erroneous must of
necessity go. To know the truth
about anything involves the giving
UP of the lie. And to know the
truth about everything the abso-
lutte fact concerning God, man, and
the universe must demand a rec
ognition of one God and Father,
one healing Christ, or Comforter,
one real man whose substance must
be wholly good.
Dear friends, look deep and with
out prejudice into the Scriptural
writings and those of Christian
Science. Let your motive be not
only to read but to study and un-
derstand the Book divine, and the
law of Christ, Truth. Ponder well
the Masters teachings, how he
worked to save humanity from its
self imposed limitation and dis
eased beliefs. View in this day of
Christian Science the healing effect
of knowing the truth about God,
man, and the universe. Accept His
love, acknowledge Him before men,
be not afraid to trust your life and
work to the care of the tender
Shepherd. Learn to be obedient
through your study and applica-
ton of pure Science, wherein you
discover what obedience is, and
how you may best conform to the
divine demand.
The Bible and the writings of
Mary Baker Eddy, within reach of
every honest seeker, provide in
teaching all that anyone could pos
sibly need or use in proving the
practical nature of Christianity sci
entific thinking, how well it works
in solving the problems of the hu-
man race.
Christian Science illuminates the
Scriptures, perfectly interpreting
Truth for all. Its textbook, "Sci-
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" written by Mrs. Eddy,
unlocks the many mansions of our
heavenly Father. Through Chris
tian Science, or spiritual con-
sciousness of Truth, one views
anew the glorious blessings prepar-
ed for all. Divine Love only awaits
the worlds acceptance, the ac-
acknowledgement of one God, or Mind,
which is good. Him we are to wor-
ship and adore, with deepest rev.
erence for His law. Acknowledge
ment, alteration, devotion-do not
these terms imply specific action,
individual responsibility? To the
Christian Scientist they also in
clude an offering of service in sci
entific practice that, to the best of
ones present ability, follows Christ,
Truth, in daily living.
