SATTTEDAY, DEOEMEEB 4, 1915 AYEB

In t e r e s t i ng Lecture . A £rood iiized audience liKtened to

un ab le presentat ion of the teach ings of Chris t ian Science by Willia F . Gross In the town hall la«t Sunday af ternoon a t 2.30 o'clock. In addi t ion to m a n y from. Ayer, which included repreuentatlveH of all creedH and cla»»-eK» t h e r e were many from out of lown. T h e Hpeaker waa given the very elo»-ext a t t en t ion th roughout his eJciended addrcKs. The lecturer was in t roduced by T o r r a n c e Parker , a p rominen t lawyer, of Boston, as follows;

We who believe In ChrUtlan Science a re wltneHseft before the Court of l*ub-jic Opinion to the t ruth or Chris l ian Science und of the results accomplish­ed by it.

Kvery Wednesday evening Christ ian Sc,lentlstB. all over the woriil, urlse in thf i r churches, and testify to heaUngK. 1 myself have had many demonKtra­tions of the t ruth as wc call them. 1 v.-ore glasses for seventeen years . 1 <lo not now. I was deaf In my le l : cai for. a year and a half; my bear ing Is now very keen. I was a co.*:firmed and almost continuous smoker. Xine year;; ago 1 was healed-o? the desire In ont ire^atment, and 1 nave never wanted to smoke since and I took on twenty poundH wltliln a year thereafter .

I heard a friend of mine; a man over llfty years old, who had been deal vlnce he had the scarlet fe\-er when a child, testify at one of our Wednesday **venlng meetings to the res torat ion Of his hear ing, and I can assure you that u was an Impressive test lmonv. i know of the toivn drunkard . In a smal l Western city, who was tuken out of J.'til and made into a prosperous, re­spectable and self-respecting- citizen In that Hame city. I could s ta te s imilar and even more wonderful th ings In­deflnltely,

We a re the witnesses, but Chris t ian Science is a very comprehensive sub­ject and Is not a lways fairly or ac­curate ly stated. Under the wise di­rection of Mrs. Kddy a hoard of special pleaders , men learned In Its law and skilled In Its practise.' exper ts iiuali­lied to present the subject -in Its full purity, , was established.

One of that board will now speak to you.^ Vou win not- hear all of Chris­tian Science In this l ec tu re . ' any more than you could hear all of any science dur ing this short time, but whnt vou do hear wil l .be correct, authorized and valuable. Permft me to introduce a member of the Board of L-ectureshlp o( The .Mother Church. The f i r s t Church of Christ. Scientist, In Hoston: Mr. WIl-

• ;is F*. Gross. ,He spoke as followH: It Is evident lo every well informed

person tha t Christian Science Is a .-jub-.iect of more than passing Interest . For nearly a half century It haiixrecelved most re.»ipeetful conaider.'^tlon. especial­ly on the part of those who felt the need of a more practical religion and a more effectual method of healing, .Many of these, persons have found In C'hilstlan Science that which healed Ihem morally and physically. As thc result of this healing they have be­came bet ter citizens, neighbors, and friends. Their influence for good has Increased many fold, nol only In re-!it:ious activities but In the .«ocIal life and the business world as well. They enjoy grea te r freedom for they are not , bound by the-,Ilmltatlons of mor­tal belief as formerly. They have a t ruer sense of what It means to live and render effectual service In the fleld of honest endeavor. All this Is the result of having gained a more practical Idea of the ChriJ'tlan re'iijrlon and a clearer realization of wh:tt it i.« man'.s privilege to know and enjoy to­day. Prevalent theories have rele^jated too much of good to the i)ast or post­jioned the conscious possession there­of to the far distant future.

SPIRITIAI. . TE. \<HI. \ ( ;S Fow person.^ will deny,that Chr is t ian­

ity ha.s been the greate.Vt power f'.r ;rood In the hIViory of human experi­ence, , Throughout Chri^tendom at least Jesus of .N'azareth is accepted a« the world's greatest religious teach'-i. Thote who • preceded him pt<)phe!;:fd the fuller revelation of Truth, whiie those who came .after could only le-i terate the fundamentals of his doc-trln>.- and acknowledge Iheir indebtetl-Me>:s lo the grea i denio if s t ra to r of

' (.Jod's power to deliver -sufTerinK' bu­rn a n i ty from lhe boridaKe of e\MJ,

J t-s us' leachinK^ were urid'-rs^iood only in i»art an<l lhe purpose of his inission was comprehended by few. He alflrmed and rcathrme'l thai h*- taughi oniy the things he ha<l learned of the Father . Concerning the jiurpose of his life work he said: "To this eTKI Was 1 born, and for this cause came I into tile world, that 1 should bear witness unto the truth." That he was a faith­ful witness even his enemies were com­pelled to ackriowledge. When he spoke the word "the people were aston ished at his <loctrine; for he taught them .as one having author Ity. and not a s lhe >crlbes." He lived as he taught others

' :o live, and he demonstrated the t ru th itnd prac I le.il worth of his teachings by heal ing the sick,, reformint^ the sin­ner and doing many other mighty works.

The mult i tude apparent ly had eyes and saw not; ears had they and heard not. His teachings werc understood oplv bv those who had rl.yen above materJa"ilstlc beliefs sumciently to dis­cern their spirituaT meaning. His works were misinterpreted because th** people failed to understand how ihey wert?. accomplished and to what end.

KVII>i:.\CKS <>F CJIIIISTI.VMT^ If there are those who ask why the

PiKns do not follow today as of old. thev a re told there is no longer any need of miracles as an evidence of the t ru th of Christ ianity. It is asse i ied that the good effects of reliKiou.s c a c h ­ing on the lives and morals of m^n are suincP-nt evidence that the Christ ian religion Is true. This Is weil enongh so lar a s It goes, hut thr- mis take Is made in concUnllnw "that the physieal hea 11 ntf .accomplished by members of the earlv church was mlracuIo\is ana was permitted at Ihal lime only for Ihe purpose of establishing the t ru th of Chris t iani ty . Is for^'iveness of sin miraculous? It Is not PO re^rar*!-n Whv shonid the healing of sickness he consWered miraculous any more than Ihe destruct ion of sin? Is ll not con­sidered that the overcoming of sin .s an effect of Christianity and follows as n na tu ra l consequence?, IK It not t aught tha t thc more of the Christ spirit one possesses the less he is in bondage to the evil of sin?

The heal ing of slckncHS Is one of th* beneflclal effects of Christ iani ty nnd It Is no more contrary to the na tu ra l op­erat ion of God's law than Is thc heal­ing of Kin. Christianity should make u man heal thy as wcH »« h « » ' f" /*„ ' would do so if material theories did not limit thc power of Truth " — - - ' " •

terial lines and wha t has been called progpeflB is In no small degree merely a change of belief. Mortal man has been compelled to admit that much of what he at one time believed to be true is not true. Wherein he has made mat ter his s t a r t i ng point his progress has been negative in character . He has simply learned . from experience what Is nat true. However, thero is encouragement even in this, for the man v/ho has discovered his mistake and rejoices that his eyes have been opened, is far In advance of the one w>io is in error but believes he i.. . found the t ru th .

SCHIITIK.VL AVTHOUITV It Is a generally accepted theory that

man Is possessed of u dual nature—i. e., he Is both material ajid spiri tual . This theory seems to accord wlih the be iu i that t ruth is both material and spir i tu­al, and thia belief Is responsible tor the conflict between wnat has been termed material , or natural , science ai:d religion.

'I he HiuJe Is accepted as author i ty on >v:MtiiaJ things. Among believeis in tiK Chiistlan lellglon it is considered tnut no hiKher author ty exists, for holy men or" Cod spake as thev were

moved by the Holy Ghost.*' Notwith-s tanuing the recognized autbor l tv of the inspired word, the so-called higher criticism of this aKe Is inclined to question, the authent ici ty of the .^acred wri t ings wherein they fail lo agree wtth scientiflc deductions trom a ma­terial basis. Those unusual experiences which are now regarded as miracles, or contradict ions of naiuuir law and order, a re being questioned today as never before.

H the biblical record of the marvel­ous works accomplished by the proph­ets, apostleSi ano the Master Is true, then any teaching, theory, or beilel which causes men to doubt, or to *tues-tlon. Is an evil because It prevents the . exercise of that practical faith In God which Is so necessary to a r ight appre­hension of life and the proper solution of Its many perplexing problems. On the other hand the leaching which re­stores the waning faith and gives proof of God*s power and willingness to help humanity in every time of need. Is the pearl of great price, the value of which cannot be es t imated according to ma­terial s tandards . Such a teaching Is Christian Science. ' I t brings more ol bope, and faith, and courage Into hu­man experience because li demon-s t t a t e s the oneness and allne.'s of God. Infinite .Spirit.. It acknowledges but one power, one cause and creator. The emphatic declaration of John that "all thing's were made by him. and without him was not any th ing made that was made," Is a fundamental teachinK of this Science. The Master declared thai all good Is gained, even In this world, by seeking first the kinwdom of God and His r ighteousness . The student oi Christian Science hns learned to dem­onstrate the t ruth of this far r'-acn ing s tatement .

ItKLKUO.N .VM> .^IKIHCINK Kver since the dawn of civilization

reiiKi"ii and medicine have been re-gurOed as the iwo most effectual rem-e'lies ior the ills of human experience-10very i>eople ha's had its reliKion and every nation has its system or system.--of rnedicine. Kvery person has had faith In some methotl ol healing and jiimost every person h.as had some faith in rellKlon. Medicine and re-Jigfon. as they are understood and

^ractih-ed today, a re In no sen.«e identi-Lal. It is universally believed tha: they are not even necessary to each other, The study and practise of medi­cine Cn j be pursued independently of any r»-ligious conviciions and It Is hetc that medical theories c;in neither help nc»r interfere with one's leliKious ex-pt-rience or the hen^'fits resultinK therefrom. Both are suppoi^'-d to min­ister to human needs, but each in its own way.

.Mor la is do not look to medicine for mora: or spiri tual lielp. neiilicr do th^-y dt-penil upon reliKion to heal their phjsica) inflrmlties. Tl;e lin*^ appears 1 o be very sharply drawn and it i.-clearly set forth as :o what one may. ftr may not, expect from eitlier. Jt is true that religion is sornetim-s appeal­ed to when ma ter fa! remedi*rs have failed, but this Is not because it is be-lieVftl there is any tonnt-etion between r.-;iKi"n and medlcitif.

accomplish many KOod works which ^ t e ™Hiyf"**^» believed 10 b e . Impos­sible, This was especially true of the Master, who demonstrated the power of God to reator.- harmony whatever the need might b- from a human point of view. Many of his works were con­t rary to personal.experience, and even to this day they aie regarded as con­tradictions of natural law and order.

He walked on ib - water, stilled the tempest, fed the fiutiKry multitudes, healed the sick, eas . out devils and raised the dead. Hi?* power to heal was not limited. It was not exercised only on special '.. 'ca-ions or In the healing of certain typt-s of dUeasesl !t is recorded that ri- nealed "all man­ner of sickness a"d a;l nwinrier of dls-(•a^e among the pt-"i,;... • When we consider the lnclinati..:i of mortals to reiy upon ear thly IMM^S SO long as tht-ie IS a n y hope of ."alvalion In this direction, we a re wai ranted In con­cluding that th** u'--a; majority ol thOhe who appealed IM .IV>US for help beloiiKed to the s'»-'.•;;: led Incurable class.

Among the dlseaj-es which are men­tioned spet'lflcally by ihe sacred writ-eis as having been h^alt-d hy the Mas­ter are fever, d.rops.\', jialsy, . leprosy and Insanity, Many other physical In-hrmlt i t s were healed. The lame, the maimed, the halt, the deaf, the dumb and the blind were made every whit whole.

To the man with the withered hand tlie Masler said. 'S t r e t ch forth thine hand." and "it was restorer! whole, Mke as the other." There was a man who had been afflicted- thir ty and eight years. He lay in a helpless condition beside the pool Bethesda "wait ing for the moving of • t h e ^ w a t e r . " When Jesus saw him he commanded him to rise and walk, and Immediately he was healed. There was a woman who had an issue of blood IiT years. She h.ad tried every known remedy. The record s tates she "had spent all her living on physicians, neither coiild be healed of any." She was healed when she touched the he.'ii of his garment . There was another "woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could In no wise lift up herself." ' Jesus spoke of her as one whom Satan had bound-which shows that he did not believe her affliction was a dispensation of Providence. "He called her . to him, and Fald unto her; Woman, thou art. loosed from thine infirmity . , . ahd Immediately she was made stralRht, and glorified in God."

In at least three instances the dead were raised to life. The daughter of Ja l rus had just died when the, sorrow­ing father appealed to the Master for help. In the case of the widow's son the funeral party was on the way to lhe burial, and Lazarus had been dea-four days. But no mortal belief, nr material condition, not even the con­viction thai death Is Inevitable and in accordance with the divine plan, could prevent the demonstrat ion of God's power to destroy cVen the last enemy.

Truth were so varied and complele that il seems s t range humani ty has not seen in tliese healing works the. i)roof that spiritual unders tanding Is the uni­versal remedv for ail the ills of hu­man experience. The failure to realize this can be accounted for only as one considers that these works are regard­ed as miracles: i. e., It is hellevetl they were In some way accomplished con-trarv to the natura l operation of the laws to which men and "women today are subject.

In the fullness of time hc received ten commandments engraven on table** of storie. Hc was perhaps the earlle.Tt wri ter on Jurisprudence. He gave the people an elaborate code of laws to Kovern them In all the affairs of life. He wns their wise counsellor and guide dur ing the 40 years sojourn In the wil­derness, and It was their faithfulness to what he taught that made It possi­ble for thepi lo go up and possess" thc promised land.

Klijah represented the spirit of prophecy which looks "not nt the things that a rc ueen, but at the th ings that are not seen," and judges "not according to thc appearance." but judges "r ighteous judgment ." In the life, the teachings and the works of Jesus faith becomes spiri tual under­s tanding and law and prophecy a re ful­filled.

When Paul wa» permit ted to pl^^ad his own cause In the presence of King Agrlppa and th* principal men of th city, he asked this searching question; "Whv should It be thought a thing In­credible with vou. that God should raise thc dead?" And so Christian Science Is ask ing of th inking men and women of today, believers In God, be­lievers In the veri ty of the sacred wrir-Ings, believers in the power and eHl-cacy of prayer, why should It he thought a thing Incredible with you, tha t God should heal the *ick?

Is ther** ' anyth ing unreasonable tn such ft teaching? Is It In nny sens ' cont rary to tlw let ter or th«- spirit of the Scriptures :• Kven though one may not believe in Christ ian J^clenc/*. Hf he understand^ it, must he not admit tha t tho claims of Christ ian ScIenc** a r e legltlmato and in accord with what cotild be rei^ponably expected If one were to accept and put Into practise the teachings of .I 'sus?

KI.N'GUOM OF HB.VVK.V AT HA.M> John the Baptist wixn the forerun­

ner of Jesus . He came preaching in the* wi lderness of Judea and .the bur­den of his cry was. "Repent ye; for the Kingdom of heaven 1» at hand." When Jesus lifted up.hlB voice to pro­claim the gospel of salvation to a wai t ing world, he taught the people that something was required on their part . "Hepeni: for the kingdom of nea ven Is a t hand," was the keynote of his message. When he sent out his disciples to preach ih»- ^tospel and heal the sick, he told thern JO declare unto all who had ears to *."ar •The king­dom of heaven I» a t JI.HHI.*'

To repent means inr.r..- than *o b -sorry loi wVotigdo; ,^ ' ihe literal mea tlint; of the Wo: -i t ranslated re-peni Is "to have ano-fn-: inlnd." f'aul said, "To be c a r n a l l y m m d e d i» death, but to be spir i tual . , minded Is Ilfe anil peace." Is It n- • • vident that if one would - escape I • o;n sjn and dis­ease, which result i--. <ieath, he must "have ano ther mind' i long as mor­tal's a r e In- bonda;?" to the mater ial sense of things, hen . •-:;. harmony, ' will Seem to he a l a r off, *'itiv HH ihey be­come spir i tual ly roln<i.'j can they see th ings a s they realiy are and under­s tand tha t " the kliJKdom of heaven is at hand."

Even though ther*- ni;i_.v be dlff ences of opinion as 'o wtx-re heaven Is located and when ai,.i how it is to be gained, all a re agre* l that In heaven there Is no sin. s lckni -s or death. The revela tor sav,- ». new ;• aven and a n e w ear th and he heard ; ;:reat voice out of heaven say ing "Ani <;od shall wipe away all tears from tiieir eyes; and there shall be no m'-n- death, nelthor sorrow, nor crying, i . ' i ther shall there be any more pain; for the formei th ings 'ire passed away." In view of the fact that J"ohn saw this new heav­en and new ear th n'^irly 2000 years a.KOi mus t , I t not be that thi.s harmoni­ous st. i te of exls tenc- is the reality of being now?.

WHAT IS Ur.tl l lltKI) The declarat ion that "the kingdom

of heaven is a t h a n d ' implies that it is possible of at tainment, .lesus saiu to his disciples, "Except your r ight­eousness shall exceed the ilg^hteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter Into the klngdotn oi heaven." Here was the emphatic dec­larat ion that a sense of righteousness, or r ight th ink ing and living, hiKhei than was enter ta ined even by these who were regarded as the J^irltual leaders of the people, was necessii to' gain eternal harmony.

While It may. seem that t-he chiel purpose of the Master 's works -was to help those in need of help and to con­vince the world that his teachini.';* were tr'ue, yet the grea t benefll of these works to unfversal humanity, is to be f/jun<l in that they were practi­cal applications of the Truth which he declared would never pass away bul remain for all men lo understand and demonst ra te , -j..

Heaven wllj;>^'ver-he more real th.in It 1."* a t this mt/fhent, and It is at hand Nothing but l h e \ m o r t a l belief in the reali ty and power Of evil can preven. a man from enter ing this kingdom now. Ood-s will Is supreme and abso­lute in heaven, l l Is manifest In the harmonious operatlori of law. To un­ders tand and obey divine law Is to en­ter t,he kingdom. More than this is noi, re'iuired and less will nol avail. <HUISTIA-\ Sr iEXCK DISt'OVKRKI)

The term Chris t ian Science wa« useo by Mary Baker Eddy lo desiKnale th purely spir i tual method of heal ing boll, sin and sickness whicii she discoveren Mv-s. Eddy was a "faithful s tudent o . therapeut ics aiid theology. Previous tc her discovery she was .1 believer, to a certain extent. In th-- then " prevailing; metiK)ds oi healing, althouf^h for man\ years she had end-avored to trace physical effects to mental causes. When bnt a child sh-- became a mem­ber of iin orthodox church and faith fully adhered to its teachings so far as she was able 10 accept them. There we: e some things, as for example the do'-^-trin*- of predestination, which wat so ^ieneraily t aughi in thos*- day^ wiiUh she cou!d not .accept becaus.-thcy were nol in accord with hei thouKht of f lod as Love.

It was Mrs. K<ldy's great need of physic-al hea!inj,' which led to the 'lis-cov'-ry .jf Chrisl ian Science. The r.-ni­ed i'-s known to medical sci e rice bad fa;><l and h*-r physicl.in said iher** was no hope, but h*-r faith in God did noi wav.-r. .^he turned lo. tho one inflnile good for help and her prayer was an­swered. She did not regard h'-r restor­ation to health aw a spocial dispensa­tion of Provid'-nce. She believed and af te rwards proved that it was the d. vinely natura l result of the operation of law which could be understood and demonstrated.

There was no person in whom :;he could aj»pea: for an explanat ion of this wonderful healiiiic. There was no book .-a\'t- the BibN- which could throw any iik'!;t 'jpon her exjierience. She tells us tl;;:: this book answered her ques-ti'.!;s as :<- how she was healed. As sho read '.'u- inspired word in the liKht of h'T n a : v-lo'.is experience, it spake lo her in a n-w tonjfue.- In the spiritual und»Tstan'li'!U' of the Scriptures, she discovert'd the Science of Chris t iani ty

sacred t ru th s can to the heal ing of

. I Ivarne.l how its be hum,mly apjilied sickness and sin.

This n«w found faith was a livinp faith an<l thM-uj-'h her lovinK minis t ra­tions scores w.-re healed of diseases pronotmced incurable. HeinK convinc­ed bv tn;.;iv infallible proofs that she had di^cv-:*-*! the Principle and rule of scientitic .Mind healing, she then d e m o n - t r a K-d t h a t it w a s p o s s i b l e t o impart to s tudents an und**rstanding of this Science which would enable them to Jieal the >.ick. Thus was bo-Kun th" j-'ieat'-st religious movement T'nd th»' most "frf-ctual reform in the h'-aiinir "f sickness known to recent centuries . CII HI STI \ \ HKAl.I.Xfi SCIKNTIFIC

While this system of heal ing is not in accord with ihe various material rn'-t h(Hls known as medical practise, and while it does not harmonize with som* - of the present day theology, nev-ertlieless It IS Chris t ian In «plrlt nnd pract ise , and it Is scientific. It Is based on divine Principle and can be demon­strated only as this Principle is un­derstood and obeyed.

The teachings of Christ ian Sclencf .Tnd the method of application In tin' h»a:int.r of sickness and sin are today ••xactly what they have been from the l.tirlniilng. What other method of litailnK adminis ters the same remedies .i:'.d pr< tcec<ls along the same lines as it il;d 10 years ago? The rapidly chans -inj: t h ' o r i e s as to the cause and cure (.1 di'^.ase would seem to justify the assert ion, there is not one.

We l i .ar il asked. Is there no prog­ress in i"h.istian Science? Indeed there Is. but progress In Chris t ian Science means a better unders tanding of God as divine Principle, This unders tand­ing Is expressed In a more spiri tual consciousness and moro faithful obedi­ence to divine law.

There can bo no contradict ion In Truth . Kvery Idea of Tru th mus t of necessity be In perfect accord .with every o ther Idea, What ono lea rns o ' real i ty Is for eternity. I t m a t t e r s not how much he may Iearn, If he has really gained even one Idea of Tru th he will never flnd nnother Idea to con-tr.idlci It.

ministty .Iesus d*-c!are<i Ihat he was nf»t come to d»-stioy the l.iw but to ful­llll tbe law. P.y example as well a s precept he taviKht obedience to divine Principle. Neither in word o> In deei did he transKress the immutable law of God,

When one learn.'« that efernal good can be gained in no way except through obedience to divine lavv he has hegun to build on a sure foundation, The (houifht of God as person has en­couraged the belief that one can gain good merely by ask ing for It, but th€ unders tanding that God Is divine Pr in­ciple operat fng through spir i tual Ia\ shows what Is required on man's pa r t and why It Is re<iulred. ,

All sin. sickness, discord and suffer­ing Is ih'- r« suit of a false sehse of Cod and man. That which produces dtsconl is not the remedy for discord, and can n*'ver succeed In removing It. When this .«<elf-evldent fact is recog­nized it will lie understood that th© only remedy for 'v l l is that which cannot produce or contr ibute to evil.

Paul had a clear* sense of t ru th and error, Kood and evil, and throughout his writlnKS he Is very careful to sep­ara te one from the other. Wha t could be more to the point than his positive declaration that "to be carnally mind­ed Is death; but to bp Spiritually mind-

has no legit imate place In conscious­ness.

vi.KiiTioms It Is apparent to all that sin Is a

qua.lliy of the carnal , or mortal mind, and that It can be overcome by gain­ing the true sense of good. It Is not, however, KO general ly understood that sickness Is Irom the same source us sin and that It can be effectually heal­ed In the same manner . The Influ­ence of thojgnt upon the body Is beinK recoKnl/.ed more and more, and mental cor.uitions are being taken into con­sideration even In the physical dlag-nosi.-i of di-sease. It is admitted that many times what a re regarded as pure­ly physlc.nl conditions could not result -from lhe .-arne na tura l causes If men­tal conditions were different. Ev^n from a nuiterial point of view, a har­monious :n-ntal condition Is most de­sirable,

in al! the affairs of human experi­ence it IS bvMt-ved that to understand the natui.- ol- a trouble and what ha.« caused U, is a great help in ovei-eom-iiK the dilMculty. This Is believed to

be especniliy true of dlsea.«e. antl manv poisona argue that befor.- one can heal a disease hv must know iis name and nature and what has caused It. A cor-rCi I pl.:.'.-;c;j! diaKnosis of dis>-as" Is we'i-niKb an ImposnlblMty, as Is shown by the Kreat diversi ty of opinions amt UK ;hf>se leartied persons who have spi-:i: y.-;-.rs of study alonK material Hn.s. .Many times what is considered a cau.-e IS merely an effect, and the Ilifil or primitive cause is unknown, II must bt- ;;drni.tied that many sick per­sons: have recovered, or at least ap­peared to do so, when the physician was uiiiible to determine the na ture of ll:;- tronble or what had produced II.

<'Mie ct-'ebrated physician and sur-Kcen declared it to b> his honest con­viction that nine persons out of ten v.o.:ld recover without the aid of nia-t ' l ial remedies if they would slmiSly h t nalure takes its course. It Is ad-mji:«-d even by the advocates of ma­teria! methods of heallnK. that all that druKs can do is to help nature heal the sick, and to this end and for this pur­pose only are they administered bv those who '-mploy them.

i.AWS OF .VATIIIK Let it be grah t -d that sickness is the

penalty palu for br-aking nature 's laws ei ther knowingly or unwittlnglv. Then the question arise.*-. How can the suf­ferer best a tone for the wrong that Is done and regain his Iioalth? If it be true that na ture is assertlnK itself in behalf of the sick man. how can the unfor tunate one place hini.'»elf in the poslllon to experience the greatest possible good? There are various forms of medical practise, all claiming lo work In harmony v.ith nature 's laws, and those In need of healing must decide between them.

Christian Science teaches it is di­vinely natural to be heal.thy and un­natural to be Sick. The discords leim-. ed sickness and sin, and all other In­harmonious conditions and experiences, can be dealt with a s IntelliKently as. can the discords of music or mathe­matics, and Ihey will be overcome as rtadily when the divine . Principle of harmonious being is understood and the laws thereof intell igently obeyed.

According to Christ ian Science, laws of nature are not laws of mat te r but taws of divine Mind, and the world's most successful healer declared that his followers In all ages would be able to heal the sick in accordance with these unchaiiKlng laws.

When the sick are brought Inio har-monjr with <;od's law they are restored to health. How Is this accomplished'; The prayer of faith Is the unfailing remedy. When it Is understood that the sick are. beaied by reason of the activity of divine Mind operatinK throuKh spiritual law, who will say that the prayer Of spiri tual undci-standinK is less scientific that- the mental operation which diaKnoses dis­ease accordInK to mater ial theories; or th.it it is less effectual in healliiK the sick than is the drug or application administered ih accordance with the material diagnosis? It can be nc) long­er be denied that the Hick are healed In Christian Science even though the ma­jority a re .not prepared to admit that the method is scientific. One may question lhe .i:'.-thod hut he cannot deny the rcsult.

CO\SKKV.\TIOV OK HEALTH We hear a grea t dt-al these days

about^ the conservation of health and the means by which this most desir-at.!e end can he a.ttained. Few persons realize how much Christian Science Is doing in thi.s direction. Christian Sci ence is a i)reventve as well as a cur.i live. Tiiousands have been restored to p;Tftct health after thoy had been pronounced inci rable. and there is no means r• f es t imating how many have been healed before they reached the 80-calIed incurable staKe.

If obedience to divine law heals the sick, then the be^i way to preserve health and prevent the development of disease Is to know and obey the law of Cod. AccordInK to Christ ian Science, laws of matter, and what are termed laws of health, a re simply man made beliefs ,'tnd not laws of Cod. Health and freedom are gained ihrouKh obetll-••ncc to Cod's iaw, and not as ih<- re­sult of bei IIK in bondage to the so-ciilted laws of mortal mipd.

Why tlien should hc not he con­sidered an author i ty in the one caso as well a s the oihcr? In his teachlnur .mo practise, physical and moral heallnK were one. Nowhero did he int imate h> word or deed that difTerent remedies were reciuired. When the people mur­mured because he said unto a sick man, "Thy sins he forKlven thee." he askeo "Whether It is easier to say. Thy sins be forKlven thee; or to say. Arise and walk?" To the impotent man whom he healed he said, "Behold, thou art mnde whole: sin no more, lost a worse thing come unto thee."

There Is but one law, the law of divine Mind, and obedience to this law Is required of-both tho sick nnd the sinful. Whatever the human need, obedience to the law of Qod will supply that need, for God Is Inflnlte Rood and "no flrood-thln^ will he wi th­hold from them that walk uprightly," —arc obedient to divine law.
