B., of Chicago, member OF the
Board of Lectureship of tie Moth
er church, the First c Church OF
Christ, Scientist, Boston, Mass, de-
livered a lecture on Christian Sci
ence, entitled "Christian Science,
the Religion of Courage" on Fri
day evening, January 10 in First
Church of Christ, Scientist, 18th
and Chestnut streets at 8 o'clock.
Judge Greene was introduced by
the first reader of the church, Mrs.
Elsie Cole Jones.
The lecturer introduced his sub
ject by pointing out how, in many
ways, fear is the greatest obstacle
to health, happiness, and human
welfare. He then proceeded to
show how Christian Science, by
bringing to human understanding
the truth concerning God, is re-
vealing that quality of thought
which will ever be a perfect anti
dote for fear among human beings.
He showed how Christian Sci
ence, through the Use of seven
synonyms, namely: Life, Truth,
Love, Mind, Soul, Spirit, Princi-
pie, makes practical, useful, and
disable the omnipotence, omnis-
cience, and omnipresence of God,
Gould any sense of Deity be
more comforting, more encourag.
ing, more sustaining in its assur.
ance than the truth that God is in
finite Love?" the lecturer asked.
''What rich blessings of peace,
and courage, and confidence are
poured into our experience in the
understanding that God is Life!
How truly and how certainly are
we lifted out of the finite realm of
matter and materially in the con-
seriousness and understand 1.g that
God is Mind"
Then was brought out how nat
ural, how important, and how nee
essary is the concept Of God as
Spirit, this point being emphasized
by the Masters statement, God
is a Spirit: and they that worship
him must worship him in spirit and
in truth"
The speaker said, THE realm of
accident, luck, chance, mishap, in
security, and discord disappears in
our quickened sense of Gods I'M
failing law and government as di-
vine Principle.
"T.us does Christian Science re-
veal the nature and character of
God as understandable, as avail
able to make certain and practical
the realization of every good gift
and every perfect gift the realiza-
ton of health, happiness, harmony,
and every desirable condition of
being"
Creation
"Christian Science, through the
teaching of the Christian Science
textbook, Science aid Health with
Key to the Scriptures by Mary
Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and
Founder of Christian Science" the
speaker said, ''is leading its stu
dents and followers into a new
world, a new universe that is truly
compatible with the account of ere.
alton as given in the first chapter
of Genesis, and of which creation
it is written, And God saw every
thing that he had made, and, be-
hold, it was very good and of
which the textbook says on page
504, Was not this a revelation in
stead of a creation?"
Man
The speaker brought out that the
creation of man, as described in
the first chapter of Genesis as be-
ing in Gods image and likeness,
would naturally reveal man to be
idea, to be spiritual, to be whole,
to be perfect, to be Godlike." All
of this teaching, he said, is in &C
cord with the statement of what
man is, as given in the Christian
Science textbook (p.475): Man
is spiritual and perfect. Man is
idea. He is the compound idea of
God, including all right ideas; -.
that which has not a single quality
underived from Deity"
Healing
Healing as practiced in Christian
Science, the speaker explained, is
based upon the teaching concern
ing God, man, and creation as had
been outlined in his address. He
said: THE actual process of heal
ing in Christian Science does not
involve dealing with matter or the
material body. 1t does not depend
upon symptoms, diagnosis, and
material conditions. Healing, then,
is purely mental, spiritual, not ma
terial.

lieve that his difficulty is caused
