Scientist, in Boston, MasSa-
chuSettS.
Heights of health, freedom, har-
mony, success, and happiness
hitherto unknown can be attained
progressively by any individual
who learns and applies the scien-
tific laws of God, declared Arc1i-
bald Carey, C.S.B., of Detroit, in
a lecture here Saturday night on
THE Truth of Christian Science. "
Mr.. Carey asked a capacity
audience in the High School audi
forum, Would it not be a won
derful thing if we should find
that sickness is as unreal as a
mistake in addition, and that we
can get rid of it as easily as we
can a mathematical mistake, by
applying the truth that is needed
to correct it? This is what Chris
tan Science teaches and proves. "
The speaker came to Key West
during a national tour as MEM
Der of the Board of Lectureship
of The Mother Church, The First
Church of Christ, Scientist, in
Boston, Massachusetts. His local
lecture was sponsored by Chris
tan Science Society of Key West.
BaSing his lecture on a logical
development of the nature of God
as all-poWerful good, Mr.. Carey
presented the inevitable conclu-
sion that evil is unreal, and so
can be proved nonexistent.
IF we accept the premise that
the universe is under the govern
ment of divine Principle, anything
that seems to be, but is not in
harmony with this Principle, must
be a mistake" he said. 1T could
not be real. And being unreal,
mistake or error, it can be cor
rected and destroyed by the truth.
ANY scientific research de-
partment operates on the assump-
ton that if sufficient intelligence
can be applied to any human sit
uation it can be improved. In
Christian Science we go farther
Instead of relying on a blind hope
that in some way intelligence will
help us, we work with the GER
tainty that because we under
stand the nature of perfect Mind
to be intelligence, and how to
demonstrate it, we can prepare
ourselves scientifically to receive
from Mind the right ideas that
will overcome and destroy any
thing that is violating deific law
or interfering with the progress
OF mankind or any individual,
1--WE do not ignore evil, but we
do recognize its unreality. Then
we effectively and practically APP
ply the truth that is needed I'M
til the evil, like a mistake in
mathematics, is overcome and de-
stroyed, and the truth is estab-
lished in its place"
Substantiating his remarks with
actual. reports of physical healing
through the application of Chris
tan Science, Mr.. Carey told about
a case of sight restored and a bus
mess saved, as we'll as Mary Bak-
er Eddy's own original recovery.
IN 1866, from effects of an acct
dent which physicians had pro-
nounced fatal. That healing came
with Mrs. Eddy's discovery of
Christian Science as she was
reading in her Bible how Christ
Jesus healed palsy by spiritual
means alone.
Il wish there were time to tell
you Of the many instances of
Christian healing that l have wit
messed" he continued. "HoWever,
the best way to be sure of the
liberating truth and power of
Christian Science is to try it for
yourself
mot only is Christian Science
logically satisfying, but it makes
you more intelligent and re-
sourceful than you have ever
been before, because you are
learning how to draw upon in
finite resources of limitless Mind,
so that limitation and lack of OPP
portunity disappear under the
influence of right ideas from
