to Appply it." was given last night
 in the Scottish Rite Temple by Peter B. Biggins, C.S.B., of Seat tie, Washington, Member of the 1 Board of Lectureship of The Mo-
 ther Church, The First Church of
 Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mas
 sachusetts.
 The lecturer, who was introduced by Mrs. E. Lulu Hunter, said in part:
 To-day it is a matter of com
 mon knowledge that Christian Sci ence is giving to those who study and apply it health of body, peace
 of mind, and an corresponding hope for better things. Many peo-
 pie are endeavoring to learn how
 these good results are brought
 about. It is my purpose to answer some of the questions you may be
 asking as to how to apply this Sci
 ence to your own individual needs. | Christ Jesus made clear the basis of the application of Truth to the needs of humanity, when, in his Sermon on the Mount, he said,
 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is
 perfect He set forth the grand results of this correct application when, at the end of this discourse,
 he said, Therefore whosoever hear
 eth these. sayings of mine, and do-
 eth them, I will liken him unto a ;; wise man, which built his house
 upon a rock: and the rain descend-
 ed, and the floods came, and the
 winds blew, and beat upon that
 house; and it fell not: for it was 1 founded upon a rock That rock
 is Christ, Truth. That is the rock on which the teaching of Christian
 Science is built. That is the foun-
 dation of it's practice, the basis
 of it's practical application to your needs and to mine.
 Tn considering how to apply Christian Science to ones indi- vidual needs, one important point
 should be noted In order to apply Christian Science consistently, cor rectly, and continuously, one needs
 to be in sympathy with the Chris tian Science organization. By this I do not mean that in order to be healed you must join the Christian
 Science church. One may be healed instantaneously even before he gains an understanding of Chris tian Science. But this fact is
 plan: those who go forward and prove progressively the possibilities of Christian Science for good in their lives, naturally conform to it's requirements. This brings them in to harmony with the educational and religious system of Christian Science. This fact is evidenced eventually by their membership in The Mother Church and in a
 branch church, and their active
 participation in these activities.
 Mrs. Eddy gained her spiritual
 enlightenment from the Bible. She
 learned, and proved scientifically,
 that the truths set forth in this
 sacred volume can be applied def
 initely to the healing. of disease.
 Her writings abound in clear ex- plantations of Scripture. These help the student to make practical use of the precious truths which the Bible contains.
 Evil Exposed as Lie
 We recall that Peter, when speaking of the curative work of Christ Jesus, said that he healed
 all that were oppressed of the
 devil If you wish to learn the nature of this devil that seems to oppress humanity, you cannot do better than read what Mrs. Eddy
 has written on this subject on page 584 of Science and Health. Here we find this Illuminating defini- tion: Devil. Evil; a lie; error; neither corporeality nor mind; the opposite of Truth; a belief in sin, sickness, and death; animal mag netism or hypnotism; the lust of the flesh, which saith: am life and intelligence in matter. There is more than one mind, for am mind,-a wicked mind, self-made or created by a tribal god and put into the opposite of mind, termed matter, thence to repoduce mor-. tai universe, including man, not after the image and likeness of Spirit, but after it's own image'' How skillfully Mrs. Eddy has analysed the nature of evil! By her definition of devil as animal magnetism or hypnotism, she put her finger directly on the solution of the problem of evil, as no one else has done since the days of Jesus of Nazareth.
 Tn 'Rudimental Divine Science Mrs. Eddy outlines briefly the sim ole fundamentals of her teaching. The question is asked in this book ln 2l sHnW should I Undertake to
