simply by just knowing the truth
by Just realizing, as the Bible
teaches, that the divine presence
Is right here now. You pray, too,
when you expel the belief from
your thinking that there is any other
or opposite presence. You can
know that, wherever your loved
ones may be tonight, right there Is
the presence Of God, infinite spirit
ual consciousness, the realm OF the
actual and real. Know that they
live, move, and have their existence
in God, and God alone.
In describing the second kind of
prayer the lecturer said:
When the first chapter of Cen
esiS finished telling about man, 1t
used this statement, And God saw
every thing that he had made, and,
behold, it was very good All
right some one says, where do
these things that aren't good come
from? / like the way Paul eX-
planned it when he referred to them
as beliefs OF the carnal mind
Now, how simple it is, when any
thing presents itself to you which
is not Godlike, to repudiate and
cast it out, not for what 1t claims
to be, but for what 1t is - a coun-
terfeit belief Of the carnal mind.
And Paul said, The carnal mind is
enmity against God"
Illustrating The third kind OF
prayer, Mr.. Whitney told OF the
healing of a Chicago business man
Of cancer.
Let me tell you just how effec-
tual that kind of prayer u.s." the
lecturer said. Eleven years ago. a
Chicago business man found him
self in constant pain, and losing
considerable weight. Three physi-
clans diagnosed his condition as an
advanced case OF cancer. and held
out little hope. In desperation the
man went TO a Christian Science
practitioner, who recognized that
what the man really needed to be
healed OF was false and ungodlike
concepts OF his family and busi-
ness associates. for his thinking was
Allied with resentment, hatred, and
bitterness toward them. The practl'
toner set the man TO work ~ once

Lecture Tuesday Night
At the Women's Club

Five different kinds OF healing
prayer were illustrated in a public
lecture here Tuesday night by Ar
thur c. Whitney Of Chicago, a
former Christian Science Chaplain
in the United States Army.
A large audience attended the lee
ture, which was delivered in the
Women's Club Auditorium, under
the auspices OF First Church OF
Christ, Scientist, this city.
Mr.. Whitney, a member OF the
Board of Lectureship of The Mother
Church, The First Church Of Christ,
Scientist, in Boston. Mass, was in
troduced by Raymond o. Mills.
The lecturers subject was, Chris
tan Science: A Religion of Answer
ed Prayer" He began by recalling
the words of Jesus, I'VE shall know
the truth. and the truth shall make
you free" He told his audience that
those among them who were sick,
burdened with grief. fear. separa-
ton, sin or Illustration could be
healed during the lecture. 1t is said
that many healings have taken
place at such lectures. Answering his
own question, How can you be
healed?" the speaker declared that
headings could be brought about by
your simple act Of accepting and
knowing the Bible truths about God
and man. You can also be healed
by earnestly reading and studying
the lecture The prayer of Chris
tian Science he added, lis prayer
based on a spiritual understanding
of God with which you can know
the truth. 1t is not prayer based
on belief or blind faith. You can
not know the truth with belief or
blind faith, but you can with spl-
ritual understanding.
Let me tell YOU" Mr.. Whitney
continued, of a healing that took
place during a lecture a short time
ago. At the close of one lecture
a man came mp to me and put out
his hand. ] gave him mine and ne

The fifth kind of prayer describ-
ed by Mr.. Whitney was the prayer
of conservation" and he related
a moving story of a soldier IN
italy, reading two letters from him.
The first letter read:
IT guess you know we made the
landing at Anzio. Well, on the way
in to the beach, I had hymn in my
mind-'Shepherd, Show Me How

hymn until that time and they just
came to me. ! have often thought
that I've had so many miracles. as
the fellows would say, but we know
that these were and are just GODS

grateful for. is that the time I spent

confidence in Gods protection.

I've been allie to help others. A
buddy of mine in my outfit had

for something and so have been
reading the Lesson to him ana
have lent him my books to read.
Well, last Sunday he told me that
he is overcoming the condition
with his hand. I only wish had a
firmer knowledge so could help
him more.
Before reading the second letter
Mr.. Whitney quoted the verse mem
toned: Yea, though walk
through the valley Of the shadow
Of death. / will fear no evil; for
thou art with me-"
The second letter was as follows:
