The Wyandotte news-herald. (Wyandotte, Mich.) 1943-1963, 1944-10-30

The lecturer spoke substantially
rs follows:
Mankind, today, Is In search Of
that which will solve the perplexing
problems Of life. The average man
Is seeking for q simpler, happier
way Of existence. Find . man who
Is truly happy, and you usually have
one who Is healthy and sufficiently
supplied.
Mans Great Need
The normal individual wants less
OF that which confuses him, inter
feres with his rightful course, and
thwarts his just endeavors. Let him
have less worry and he will have
more confidence, less fear, and he
will have more love, less earthliness,
and he will have more heavenliness.
So the great need Of today is for the
elimination of that which interferes
with the continuity of harmonious
living, for fuller sense of life and
It, joys. Would you think business
executive unwise who wants to elm
mate waste, lost motion, defects, and
antiquated ways Of doing things, by
supplanting them with more ex-
peditious methods, which would
simplify the work and render 1t
more beneficial? Is II not equally
wise to seek scientific knowledge
of your own life, to learn how to
overcome waste of energy, loss of
power, ill-health, diminishing hap
piness, and how to supplant them
with Joy, health, peace, and prog
ress? Christian Science supplies this
great need of mankind.
Mrs. Eddy's Mission
Because Mary Baker Eddy, the
Discoverer and Founder Of Christian
Science, saw the urgent need of the
sick and SHINING, she longed to save
them from their misery. Here, my
friends, you have the animus, the
transcendent determination, the
life-purpoSe, Of a woman who knew
the bitterness, harShness, suffering,
pain, and poverty Of mortal exist
ence as few gentlewomen have been
forced to know ito whom at times
all doors were closed. It was through
this dark experience, working,
watching, praying to be shown how
she might be delivered from q life
Of physical suffering, that she made
the great spiritual discovery now
known as Christian Science. It was
through the sacred pages Of the
Bible, illumined by spiritual revela-
ton, that in 1856 she experienced
an instantaneous healing which re-
suited in q permanent cure of that
which the doctors had pronounced
incurable. From that time on,
through long years Of consecrated
service to God and to healing man
kind, such as has not been equaled
since the time of Jesus, this lone
woman left for all ages an impress
OF spirituality that causes unnum-
bered hosts to rise up and call her
blessed.
The Bible, the Textbook, and Its
Author
It Is sometimes said that Christian
Scientists place their textbook above
the Bible, but this Is not so. They
are obedient to what Is given In the
textbook, Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" by Mary
Baker Eddy, where it Is written (p.
49D: "As adherents of Truth, we
take the inspired Word of the Bible
rs our sufficient guide to eternal
Life"
The truths of Christian Science
do not originate in the book, Science
and Health. They find their express
sion there, but their origin is in God.
Truth is as old as God. The purpose
of the textbook Is to show how prac-
teal and applicable are the truths
Of the Bible, how the sick are healed,
the SHINING reformed, the sorrowing
cnmforted. It explains many SEEM
ing incongruities that have long
puzzled Bible students. The text
book exalts the Bible as no other
book has done, and students Of
Christian Science study the Bible,
the authorized King James Version.
as they have never studied It before.
They also realize the Importance Of
owning and studying the Christian
Science textbook In connection with
the Bible. and freely advise this
course to others.
