In Boston:
Christian Science, with its scientl'
fjcally Christian system OF Mind
healing as taught a n d prl-lced
originally by Jesus Christ, and in
this age by Mary Baker Eddy, is a
subject of supreme Importance n
profound significance to the whole
world. 1t should be of paramount
interest to everyone. 1t deserves
careful study and right practice be-
cause of the fact, that it offers to
those who understand it's Science
and practice its Christianity good,
all good and only good, that all
good which the all-good God loving
ly and freely bestows upon man
and the universe here and now.
Christian Science is a subject
which today is engaging the at
tention and interest of many think
ing people the world over-a sub
ject which is destined to gain the
a of humanity more and more,
until, in the fullness Of time, and
in Gods own way, it shall have
led the enslaved human mind out
of its suppostitiously self-created
and self.imposed dream Of mortal
ity, the dark error of it's own men
tai Egypt, into the promised land
of spiritual understanding, into
heaven itself, where, as stated on
page 227 of the Christian Science
textbook, Science and Health
With Key to the Scriptures" by
Mary Baker Eddy, "fetters fall and
the rights of nan are fully known
and acknowledged"
Christian Science is a Science, a
philosophy, and a religion, a three
fold mode of thought whereby
Truth comes to the understanding.
Through Christian Science, thought
is repented, reformed, regenerated,
purified, and spiritualiZed-the hui
man yielding to the divine: and,
through baptism or the submerg-
ence of the human in the divine,
consciousness is exalted to the high
level of spiritual understanding.
Christian Science is The Way"
lighting the mental path from the
low, base level of material thinking
to the mountain height of spiritual
TRANSPORTATION. spiritual illumina-
ton, resurrection, and %ascenson. 1t
is more than a scientific expert
or a religious ritual; it is a con.
duct of life, a method of living, a
plan of salvation through right
thinking, whereby thought is led
out of the erroneous beliefs of sin,
disease and death into the light
and liberty of spiritual knowing or
true being. Christian Science is uni.
versal in its scope and application.
1t is applicable to every possible
human situation, condition, or cir
cumstance, and correctly under
stood and rightly applied, meets
and solves every possible human
equation or problem. It is practical
in its demonstration and provable
in its Science. 1t is based upon in.
finite, divine, impartial and univer.
sal Principle, which must be I'm.
derstood and demonstrated. 1t has
definite rules which must be intelli-
gently and correctly applied; and
the result of the application of the
Principle according to the rule is:
proof, namely, the casting out of
devils, all evil, false beliefs, with
the healing of the false sense of
sin, sickness, disease and death.
Christian Science, properly pre-.
sented and rightly understood, is a
feast of fat things, a feast of
wines on the lees, of fat things
full of marrow, of wines on the lees
we'll refined" Christian Science bids
all to this feast of fat things
and wines on the lees" as it
spreads a table of Truth and Love
for those %hungering and thirsting
after righteousness. At this table
of divine Science the bread of
Truth and the wine of Love are
freely shared. AS interpreted in
Christian Science, the breaking of
bread and the pouring of wine
symbolic the teaching and preach,
ing Of absolute, spiritual truth
the truth Of being, the great truth
of spiritual being. This dread in.
deed came down from heaven
(Science and Health, p. 33). This is
the wine which is "the inspiration
of Love, the draught our Master
drank and commended to his fol
lowers" (ibid., p. 35). 1t is Of this
truth that Jesus spake when he
said, IF We continue in my word
