On this program Ernest Lyons it, of Essh. Illinois told Of

In the chemistry laboratory have been healed and
protected repeatedly through the understanding Of God
which Christian Science teaches On occasion when
an accident occurred in the lab, inhaled fumes OF chic
rne and phosgene gas Although the to these
poisonous gases was severe the effects vanished in few
hours just through my reading of the Christian Science
textbook Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures
by Mary Baker Eddy
And experienced none of the afterefects usually
associated with phosgene The effects of serious burns,
including those from boiling acids and eaustes, have
been completely and quickly healed and have exper-

But perhaps my most outstanding experience was

potassium cyanide On of the dangers of fatal

thoughts first to Cod-to higher idea of life remem-

cyanide in iron dish powerful burner set the
iron stirring rod on the edge of the dish and turned away

Within three days scarcely scar remained, and in
less than week all effects disappeared Later talked
to expert cyanide poisoning, and he told that
such experience would ordinarily prove fatal in few
minutes As physical scientist that Christian
Science follows scientific method and offers proof of it's
conclusions We these proofs in daily experience
just the physical scientist finds them in his laboratory
The commentary iolows
Dr. Lyons, you certainly have given very
specific and practical examples of how you have proved
Gods to heal and protect you, and appreciate
It, As physical scientist chemist, you have had
ample opportunity show that Gods law operates in the
chemistry laboratory surely does in the home in
the business office, in the sickroom, the highway

Astronomers cannot find God, divine Spirit, by look

Yet our guest, who is accustomed the exActng

Christian Science that God divine Spirit present

when we understand the law Of God the law of Spirit,
the law OF perfect divine Principle, the

Utilizing il does not call for guesswork Nor do we have
to accept faith alone Christian Science shows that
We can know and understand God and prove beyond
