single and united purpose to reinstate

ed by an ever increasing circle of

itely in tho llrst chapter of Genesis.

of this spiritual man and his relation
to God that a member of The Board

to us this afternoon in his lecture
entitled. i‘hristian Science. God's

“It gives me much pleasure to wei-

Judge ilill saith-—
“Christian Science is. as its name
implies. essentially Christian. and its
practice bring prcdieutcd upon ab-
solute law. it brings healing from
sickness and deliverance from sin_
“There is “Hill“ the. so called hu-
man mind a. llxvd and abiding con-
viction thzlt it is legitimntc to be
healthy and happy. This inherent
conviction is evidence put so of the
fact that health and happiness is the
normal state of being. This desirable

hence it must be. perfectly clear that
Christian Scientists. looking toward
the idealistic or spiritual. are con-
cerned about the mental rather than
the outward or material.

"I have assured you that this
Science is essentially Christian. This
( being the case. Christian Science. as
a great religious movement. must be

lugs and practical truths presented

parcel of His infinite plan. she con-
cluded that God governs His uni-
verse. His creation. through infinite
intelligence orr‘absolute law, and that
this law, being spiritual. could be
understood and applied. and that
when so applied renders null and
void the false beliefs of law inherent
in the so-called. human mind. She
concluded that. this law could be
definitely known and stated. and was
as fixed and unfailing as its divine
Principle. She further concuded
that since disease has no more au-
thority than sin it could be cured
and'health restored to the body in
exactly the same manner and with
the same ccrtalnity of results as sin
could be destroyed. During her in-
vestigation an injury caused by an
accident led her to discover the spir-
itual law by which she. was heated
herself; and later. upon her resora-
tion to health. she applied the same
law to the relief and healing of oth-
ers. In the Christian Science text—
book, ‘Science and Health with Key
to the Scriptures’ (p. 107.) Mrs.
Eddy says: >"ln,the year 1866. I dis—
covered the Christ Science or divine
laws of Life. Truth. and Love. and
named my discovery Christian Sci-
ence.” She had discovered the ab‘
solute. fixed. and eternal laws of
God and had proved that they are
present and operative. and can be
relied upon to heal the sick as they
did in the time of Jesus. She found
these laws "compassionate. helpful.
and spiritual" and named them
“Christian" (Retrospection and In-
lroapcction. p. 25;) and because they
constitute the absolute laws of God.
are available. and can bc demon-
strated. she named them “Science."
liencchMrs. Eddy discovered and
proved the divine laws of Spirit. the
laws of Life. Truth. and Love. Al'-
tcr this discovery she subjected it to
proof. and being convinced of the
healing and redeeming ministrations
of these spiritual li‘iws. she determin-
ed to give to the world the benefit
of her observations and discovery.
Accordingly she wrote and publish-
ed “Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures." and designated it
the Christian Science textbook. The
reading and study of this book. in
connection with the Bible. has
brought health and healing to many,
and is indeed a key to God's inspired
“ford. the Bible.
Regardless of conflicting reports.
I make this positive and cmphatlc
declaration of fact: Mary Baker
Eddy is the Discoverer and Founder
of Christian Science and has been so
dccrccd by our courts.
After her discovery. Mrs. Eddy
founded a church. “designed to com-
mcmorate the word and words of
our Master, which should reinstate
clement of healing." So she states
in the Manual (p. 17). That
Church. founded by her. in The
Mother Church in Boston: and the
Church whose hospitality you now
are enjoying is an authorized branch
of The Mother Church.
Christian Scientists are grateful to
Mrs. Eddy for her years of devotion
in re-oetablishing practical Christ-
ianity and its lost healing art. They
love her in the tru cspiritual sense.
but do not worship or dcify her.
They are engaged inperpetuating
and applying her discovery to the
loved God and because she also loved
those who apparently did not love
her. Christian Scientists are earnestly
striving to make practical her say-
ing. "A genuine Christian Scientist
loves Protestant and Catholic. D. D.
and M. D.--—lovcs all who love God,’
good: and he loves his enemies."
(Miscellany. p. 4.)
REALITY ls BASIC.
It will early be discovered that
Christian Science emphasizes the
final destruction of sin and the heal.
ing. of bodily infirmity. Some of our
religious friends have offered the
make too much of the healing ele-
ment. At no time does the human
mind part with cherished belief or
proof. clear and positive has been
presented showing that there is a
better way. It is not .surprising.
therefore. that after material meth-
ods have failed and Christian Science
treatment has restored health and
happiness to the individual. very
much should be.thought and made
of the healing element. 'In fact. all
Christian Science practice is healing
in character whether it is applied
to bodily affictlons or to other forms
of- discord. The ‘healing of bodily
ailments by prayer is the “eye open-
er',’ to the sick and is positive and
proof that" matter is submitting to
spiritual law. Likewise the false ha.

In the consideration of Christian
Science it is absolutely essential to
understand the nature of good and
evil and to be able to distinguish be—

Human laws have
for the protection of individuals as;
Some
of these laws are of ancient origin:
so much so that mankind has no
knowledge of their
that they are founded upon usages
and customs. which have prevailed
so long that the "memory of man
runneth not to the contrary." These
laws. like all others, are based upon
the theory that there is a supreme.
sovereign power. within the
commanding that which is right and
prohibiting that which is wrong.- It
should be remembered that
.laws have been formulated by the
human desire to rise above the chi.-
otic condition of no law. and many
of them are profound clamplcrot'
the human attempt to pattern
decrees of lniinitc.
There is a well-defined and .recog-
nizcd rule or law which preidils in,
most civilized countries that- every
individual is presumed to be inno-
cent of any wrongdoing until proved
guilty by competent evidence beyond
every reasonable doubt.
sumption is an essential and
stantiai part of the law of the land.
and it is the duty of courts and jur-
ies to maintain this preemption of
innocence up to the very moment
that it is overcome by the evidence.
So strong is this presumption of in-
