The DisoOverer and Founder Of
Christian Science
It would not be fitting to close this
lecture without a few brief remarks
concerning life and work of the beloved
Discoverer, Founder, and Leader of
Christian Science.
In Mrs. Eddy's search for Truth she
became convinced that none of the the
ories which had been advanced to ac-
count for the miracles recorded in the
Bible were correct. She passed through
deep waters in her patient and persistent
search for the answer to this absorbing
question. That answer came at length,
an answer which enabled her to render
to all mankind a service, the magnitude
Of which can never be estimated.
Mrs. Eddy endured bitter persecution
because her teachings contrasted so
radically with the dogmatic and false
theological views that were prevalent in
her day. But through it all she returned
good for evil and love for hate Never
did She hesitate, however, to rebuke
error and evil whenever these confronted
her, and to prove her dominion over
them.
A marvel of patience. selflessness, and
forbearance, this sanity woman never
faltered in her God-ordained mission to
establish on a firm foundation the re-
Hgion Of Christian Science. Every step
she took was at the direction of her
heavenly father-the founding of her
church. its various activities, her pub
lished writings, the monthly and weekly
Christian Science periodicals and that
well known international
daily newspaper, The Christian Science
were resultant from her
communion with divine Love.
Mention has been made in tbs lecture
of MIS- Eddy's ability to heal as Christ
Jesus did. There are many authenticat-
ed instances to substantiate this. In a
book entitled Historical Sketches by
Judge Clifford P Smith accounts are
given of some of her healings. Tt is
brought out that she healed instantly
people who We're crippled or deformed. /
At one time she took in her arms the
lifeless body of a child who from her
birth had never been able to walk. She
asked to be left alone with the child
In a short time she called the mother,
and the little girl ran to meet her. She
was not only restored to life, but also
able to walk On another occasion Mrs. /
Eddy quickly restored both hearing and
speech to a young man who from his
birth had been deaf and dumb. This
because of her understanding of the
God-croWned woman healed so readily
