A LECTURE ON
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
By William II. lUthvon, V. 8. R,
Member Hoard of lxvturrfhi) of
The Flint t huirli of Christ, Nck-nt-
Ixt, of liofttlHI, MSNM.
On Friday evening, Sept. 8, Wil
liam K. Hathvon of Denver, Colo.,
delivered an interesting and well at
tended lerture on Christian Science
ia the Phelan opera house.
He was introduced by Mayor Ko
mlg, who said In part:
"My Friends, I am indeed worry to
fay that up to this time I have never
taken the opportunity of reading
any of the teachings of Christian
Science. My knowledge of that faith
la decidedly limited.
"It is a known fact lhat that faith
is based upon the teachings of Christ '
Jeus, who taught his disciples to
heal the sick and the sinner through
prayer. The rapid expansion of the
Christian Science movement through
a comparatively brief period of. years
should set to thinking those 'of us
who have neglected to make a study
of Its valuable teaching. One of the
foremost questions In the mind of
the seeker is: 'How does Christian
Science heal without the use of
drugs?' My knowledge of the Bi
ble would cause me to say that it is
by the same application by which
Jesus healed 1900 years ago. I
"I believe that these lectures make !
It possible for more people to have
a correct conception of how Christian J
Science works."
Founded tiH.n the llible
To be healed in Christian Science,!
oae does not have to understand it. :
Iafldels frequently have been healed !
by it, but if one would understand it I
or apply It for himself he must be-
Here in the Bible, for from first to
last, from beginning to end. Chris
tian Science is founded upon the Bi
ble of our forefathers.
Besides the Bible there is but one
other text book of Christian Science,
the book, "Science and Health, with
Key to the Scriptures." by Mary Ba
ker Eddy, and this book I would
oommend to every one who would
learn for himself at first hand the
teachings and practices of Christian
Science. A copy may be obtained
through any Christian Scientist. How
comprehensive and Inclusive Is that
book may be seen when I name to
you the headings of some of its chap
ters, as follows: Prayer; Atonement
and Eucharist; Marriage; Christian
Science versus Spiritualism; Animal
Magnetism Unmasked; Science, The
ology, Medicine; Physiology; Foot
steps of Truth; Creation; Science of
Being; Some Objections Answered;
Christian Science Practice; Teaching
Christian Science; Recapitulation.
It is not the power of the human
mind that heals in Christian Science,
but the power of the divine mind
God Himself.
The word "mind" as used in Chris
tian Science has a two-fold applica
tion. When used in its highest sense
it always means Uod, unchanging
good, and when so used In our liter
ature it is always capitalized. This
marks It clearly and differentiates it
from the word "mind" as ordinarily
used, as when one would speak of
the mind of man, the human mind
and the like.
When the despondent invalid rec
ognizes that Uod never made a man
sick nor a sick man; that on the con
trary He has given to man unbroken
health; that sickness is an imposi
tion of mortal mind and is illegiti
mate, abnormal, unrighteous, with
out divine law, recognition or sanc
tion, he is then ready to turn to di
vine Mind, Uod Himself. "Who for-
giveth all thine iniquities; who heal-
eth ail thy diseases." (Psalms 103: j
3.) I
A man's highest ideas of !od can '
be no higher than his highest con-'
ceptlons of good, but they should al-;
ways be that high, for God is Infinite, ;
unchanging good. i
A thought of some kind is the
foundation, the starting point of ev-1
ery action and right habits of think-j
ing lead to right habits of living. j
Prayer i
riefly to consider what constitutes
prayer In Christian Science, let us'
take a few extracts from its text I
book. Science and Health. On the ,
fourth page of the remarkable chap-;
ter on "Prayer," Mrs. Eddy uses
these words: i
"The habitual struggle to be 1
always good is unceasing pray- !
er." !
"What we most need is the j
prayer of fervent desire for
growth in grace, expressed in 1
patience, meekness, love and I
good deeds." And again on page
15: i
"Self forretfulness, purity
and affection are constant pray
ers." The Lord's Prayer is repeated in
unison at all Christian Science serv
ices, and It is invariably preceded by
a few moments of silent prayer by
the congregation. Besides this, there
Is one short prayer recommended for
dally use. So simple la It, yet so
reverent In Its phraseology, so direct,
yet universal In Its Inclusions, so
free from every suggestion of sect or
doctrine is it, that it can be unre
servedly used by any sincere man or
woman of any church or of no
church. Here It is as Mrs. Eddy has
given it to us:
" 'Thy Kingdom come;' let
the reign of divine Truth, Life
and Love be established In me,
and rule out of me all sin; and
may Thy Word enrich the affec
tions of all mankind, and gov
ern them!"
(Manuul Art. VIII Sec. 4.)
Healing in Christian Science is al
ways by means of prayer. The word
generally used is "treatment," but it
is always to he understood that a
Christian Science treatment is a
prayer, and Just in the proportion
that It is a righteous prayer, does it
heal the sick and reform the sinner.
I rat it tide Vcrsim Discouragement
Christian Science is showing that
true gratitude, the gratitude that is
expressed in deed as well as in
thought and word Is more than a
mere Christian grace, it is a Chris
tian necessity. Not that God needs
our gratitude, but that we need to
give It to Hlin. Gratitude takes our
thought from getting to giving, and
he who gives good gets good.
For every good that comes to you,
let some thought of gratitude to God
ring through the innermost cham
bers of your heurt of hearts. Do this
faithfully and soon you will be doing
it easily and soon, too, you will find
yourself so frequently In the sweet
company of happiness that life will
seem to be beginning anew. And It
will be the beginning of new things,
for gratitude is one of the gateways
through which God's blessings enter
men's lives. If we keep it shut,
need we wonder why more of good
does not come to us?
The man who is ill, the man who
is unfortunate, the man who is af
flicted, the man who has not that
which he needs, if he wonders why,
will do well to ask himself often,
in
Open
sluices of system each morning and
wash away the poisonous, stagnant
matter, says authority.
A glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of
limestone phosphate in it, drank each
morning before breakfast, keeps
us looking and feeling fit.
Life is Tint merely to live, hut
to live well, eat well, di-jrest well,
work well, sleep well, look well.
What a Ittiiuiis condition to
attain, and yet Iimv very easy it is
if one w ill only adopt the morning
inside latli.
I nlks who are accustomed to
1'eel dull and heavy when tl.ey
arise, splitting headache, stuffy
from a cold, foul tongue, nasty
breath, acid stomach, can. instead,
feel as l ieh as a daisy liv open
ing the sluices of the system eaeh
morning and Hushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous
stajrnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, si-k
or well, should, each mornin-jr,
before breakfast, drink a ulass
of real hot water with a teaspoon
ful of limestone phosphate in it
to wash from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bow-l the previous
day's indices"? i hie wa.-tfo, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and puri
fying the entire alimentary canal
before putting more food into
the stomach. The action of hot
water and limestone phosphate
on an empty stomach is wonder
fully invigorating. It cleans out
all the sour fermentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one
a splendid appetite for breakfast.
While you are enjoying your
breakfast the water and phos
phate is quietly extracting a largo
volume water from the Llmxl
and getting ready for a thorough
flushing of all the inside organs.
The millions of peope who
are bothered with constipation,
bilious spells, stomach trouble,
rheumatism; others who have
sallow skins, blood disorders and
sickly complexions are urged to
get a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from the drug store,
which will cost but little, but is
sufficient to make anyone a pro
nounced crank on the subject of
internal sanitation.
"Am I grateful enough for what I
slresdy have?" And the man who is
discouraged has but to invite grati
tude Into his consciousness to see
discouragement vanish like darkness
before the undimmed sun. And here
let It be said that there Is not one
man on this green earth today, but
who can find something for which to
be grateful to God. If he will but
hunt for It honestly and earnestly.
Christian Science Is tearing the
mask from the gloomy face of dis
couragement and is exposing It In its
true colors. It may be truly said
that nine people out of ten submit to
discouragement without resistance
because they do not know any bet
ter. The ydo not know that it is
not only bad, but dangerous. They
do not know that It Is a mental In
truder, a moral nuisance that should
never he tolerated but always shun
ned as one would shun Infectious
disease.

ENTERS LIKE A

Devoid of ail Hy, catarrh fasten It
clutch on lis victim uiuiwarett
Catarrh Is one of the most preva
lent .f all diseases. Why? Because
it steals upon Its victims like a thief;
In the night. To be forwarned Is to !
be forarmed and ready to combat the
condition, but catarrh gives no warn
ing. Before you know It you have ca
tarrh. Catarrh usually Is very hard
to overcome.
Catarrh affects almost every organ
In the body and will finally produce a
condition known as systemic catarrh.
The circulation becomes poor and the
organs Buffer. The patient has a gen
eral despondent feeling. Sometimes
catarrh resembles chronic malaria
and again it resembles nervous pros
tration. The kidneys become affect
ed, and the bladder and the stomach.
Then comes indigestion, pains and
cramps after eating, kidney affections
which so frequently cause backaches,
especially upon arising in the morn
ing, and many other ills tooo numer
ous to mention.
At the first sign of catarrh you
should do something to check its
course. Ten most reasonable ration
al treatment Is with a tonic; one that
wil aid digestion, enrich the blood
and build up the muscles.
Hundreds of thousands of people
have proclaimed Tanlac an excellent
remedy for catarrh. First aid should
be through the stomach, causing
good digestion and from this "hot
bed" of human ills, good influence is
sent to every portion of t lie body.
latilac is composed entirely of vege
table Ingredients selected for their
purity ami potency and gathered in
many parts of the world.
Tanlac may he obtained In Alli
ance at Harry Thiele's drug store.

Hog oileiK are the cheapest and
most efficient means of ridding the
hog ol lice, nays the veterinary de
partment of the college of agricul
ture. One application of crude oil kills
both lire and nits. The most con
venient method of applying the oil
is by means of a iiog oiler, of which
there are several good types. They
are always ready and require little
attention. The best oiler allows the
pig to rub the oil on any part of the
body.
Tli oiler can also be applied with
a sprinkler, spray pump, broom, or
brush. If there is any indication of
(ikitl disease, the parts may be scrub
bed with a broom or brush so as to
get the oil well into the skin. When
crude oil 1h used, the appearance of
skin and hair is greatly improved.
