Trust, Basis of "
Science Fait!),
Says Lecturer
Member! Have Intelligent Un
derstanding of God Mis ,
lion Not Primarily Pby-,
sical Healing.
A lecture on Christian Science
was delivered by John J. Flint,
, Evanston, 111., a member of,' the
board of lectureship ' of the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, at the
' First church, Twenty-fourth and St.
Mary avenue, last night. The
speaker, who. will- repeat his lecture
tonight, said in. part:
"It never niuttb 1' 'Bht of
that Christian Science is engaged
first and last 'In the task of restor
ing to the world the word and perpetuating-
the ; work , given and
carried on by Christ Jesus, and that
its grandest mission aud it, greatest
joy is to restore primitive' Christian
ity and to perpetuatethese works
as the Master himself.'were.he once
more among us, would direct ' He
came with healing in his thought,
with healing in his.yoice, with heal
ing in his touch, -file went around
everywhere doing good.':
"Today as our leader tells usi'the.
healim? cower of ..truth is widely
demonstrated as an imminent eternal
science, instead of a phenomenal Ex
hibition. Its appearance Is the com
ing anew of the gospel of 'on. earth
peace, good will toward mei).' But
she reminds us that, "the mission of
Christian Science is not primarily
one of physical healing.-
Practical Application.
"Christian' : Scientist make no
stronger pretensions of belief in the
Bible than cloV J5'cr professed
Christians, but Christian Scientists
go farther than mere belief; they
trnst, and strive to understand. And
according to the .measure of their
understanding thew make practical
application of' Bible truths and
achieve demonstrations. One might
believe in mathematics fervently, de
votedly, unwaveringly; everlastingly,
without ever getting further than
belief. Mere belief would never solve
a problem in figures. r . - ,.j .
"Christian Scientist's, following the
instruction of Mary Baker Eddy, and
adhering to the principle' which she
discovered, prove the truths, in the
Bible through their understanding
and their work as they go along, and
bring realization of- its , prophecies
and its promises into their daily ex
perience. ' Understanding of God.
' "Christian Science is not blind
faith; it is an intelligent undsrstand
ing of God and of man's- relationship
to the Supreme Being'-.- ; It U'an un
derstanding of God which admits of
no limitation, question or doubt with
regard to His all-seeing -wisdom. His
all-inclusive power, . His all-embracing
love. ' - .' V '
"There is no m6re efficacious
agency than Christian Science for
the promotion of better taste, higher
aspirations and good will among all
people. It is. the.mosMrartqjjilizing
influence operating fflrt'ciughout.the
world today. Its doctrines already
have transformed for the better' the
aspiration and character, of millions
of people in all parts of the globe,
and every one of these is spreading
its truth, expressing his ' gratitude
not so much by word of mouth, nor
by indulging in religious controversy,
as by letting his light shine. Through
the reflection of life; truth and love,
. the omnipotent power of God is be
ing more widely recognized now
than ever before, and) there is coming
into the consciousness of the -nations,
slowly but snrely, an attitude of
. thought which will eventually weld
the hearts as well as the interests of
men." . ' ' , . . '. .

The Fortune Hunter
By RUBY AYRES.
The Fortune Hunter tat at the top
of a five-barred sate, his hat at the
back of his head, idly tapping his
rather shabby brown boon with
rough (tick which be had pulled
trom a hedge.
It was his eight-and-twentMh
birthday, and he had exactly eight-
wd-twenty shillings in the world.
Perhans it was this fact that was re.
sponsible for the preoccupied look
on his face and his total oblivion to
the fact that the top of the gate was
bordered with barbed wire to the
exceeding danger of his already well-
worn suit.
It was i warm evening in early
September, The trees all around
were beginning to be faintly tinged
with autumn coloring,' and a faint
grey mist was rising from the bed of
the river which flowed by on the
other side of the field at his back.
Eight-and-twenty shillings. The
Fortune Hunter took the coins from
his pocket, looked at them, laughed,
and jingled them back again.
He had been in many tight cor
ners during the past 10 years of his
roving life and always had managed
to struggle out ot them, but today
somehow his usual optimism seemed
to have faded him. Perhaps it was
the silence all around that depressed
him: for at any rate he sighed a
most unusual thing for the Fortune
Hunter to do and passed a hand
wearily across his eyes.
tor a tortmght now he had tramp
ed England, waiting for something
to turn up, for he was a firm believer
in his luck, and this was the first time
he had allowed himself even to con
sider the possibility that it might be
going to fail him after all these years.
To begin with, he was hungry, and
hunger makes a man a pessimist
more quickly than anything on earth;
but there was a sort of unwillingness
in his heart to break into that last
eight-and-twenty shillings until
was absolutely forced to do so.
When things were at their worst,
something always turned 'up or
such, at least, had always been the
case with him, and with the fort of
feeling that he must get away from
lus thoughts and shake oil his grow
ing depression, the Fortune Hunter
jumped down from the gate and
started walking up the road again.
Ife was a tall man and he looked
like a gentleman in spite of the fact
that his clothes were shabby and his
boots wanted heeling. Yet there
was an undeniable nr of breeding
about him, and he walked with a fine,
athletic swing, despite lus weariness.
His hair was short-cropped and
showed touches of grey here and
there, and his face was burnt by
exposure to sun and weather.
For a fortnight he had slept in
woods or barns, or out in the
hrdues: jnvthing served him for
a bed; he had roughed it in all four
corners of the world; and never quar
relled with the pillow provided by
circumstances.
A little further on the road forked;
one way leading straight along, was
evidently the main road, and the
other, turning into a narrower path.
ultimately ending in a shady wood.
The Fortune Hunter hesitated,
then turned into the wood, where
neither heat nor dust had penetrated
and everything was root and fresh.
He took off his hat and let the
soft air beat on his forehead, walk
ing mechanically along until sudden
ly he tripped and almost fell over an
obstacle half hidden in the thick
bracken overhanging the narrow foot
path.
I he I-ortune Hunter recovered
himself and swore good-naturedly,
glancing down to see what had trip
ped him, then his face changed and
he caught his breath on a muttered
ejaculation as he saw the huddled

form of a man lying face downward
amongst the green undergrowth,
"Drunkf was bis first thought,
and he half moved aMe to pats on.
Then some inexplicable instinct re
strained htm, and, stooping down, he
pulled the Ull bracken aside, peering
more closely at the prostrate figure,
Another second and he was on
his kneet beside it, 4iis deft brown
hands feeling under the coat for a
heart beat, his tanned face pale with
horror. For the man was dead.
The Fortune Hunter had seen
death too many times to be mistaken,
but it gave him an unusual shork to
have come across it here in the heart
of a shady English wood.
Turning the dead man gently over
on his back, he looked into his face.
Quite a young face it was and not
unlike his own, he thought vaauetv.
with its dean-shaven lips and smooth
skin, from which even death had not
been able to obliterate the tan.
He wore i rough tweed suit that!
looked rather colonial in cut, and a 1
toft gray bat lay little distance off
in the bracken, .
The Fortune Hunter rose to lus
feet and stood looking around him
with feeling of helpleisnen. , What
ought he to do? Inform- the police,
he supposed. He turned bis eyes
again to the still form at his feet
Whatever the cause of death, It
had come peacefully enough, for the
face was quite calm and unlincd by
pain and the lips a little parted as if
in sleep, -
If only someone would come
along! The Fortune Hunter had no
idea how far he was from the nearest
village, but he was turning to re
trace hi steps to the main road,
when he caught sight of a bulky
package lying almost at hit feet.
He stooped and picked it up. It
was a shabby leather pocketbook,
held together by an elastic band and
bulging with papers or letters.
The Fortune Hunter turned it
over uncertainly: then, with a
little shrug of the shoulder, he
pulled off the band and glanced
through the contents.
There were lot of pencil notes
that seemed to relate to nothing in
particular and jottings of various
sums oi money;' a few tetters, all in
the same- writing; an old photo
graph of a" giil with hair tumbling
about her shoulders; and pa the fly
leaf of the pocketbook a name, evi
dently the name of the deal, man,
written in a aprawly hand:
"John Smith,"
The Fortune Hunter amiled grim
ly. He had known' many "John
Smiths" in his wanderings, but sel
dom had it been the rightful name
of the man who claimed it; and it
was with the idea of finding some
further- means of identification that
he unfolded one of the letters and
glanced easually through it.
It obviously . was written by . a
woman and bore a date four months
previous: . ,
"My Dear John:
"I know you will think that I have
been a long time answering your
last letter, but now you will so
soon be home again I am begin
ning to be afraid.
'Then years Is a long timeand
I was only 18 when you went away.
Supposing you don't like me any
more? Supposing I don't like you?
Oh, I know there has been nobody
else for either of us since, but 1
am afraid all the same. I was
child when you went away, and
now I am woman, though I don't
feel so very muhch older, except
kwhen I look back on the days with
you and realue how ar away they
really are. ' '.-'
"Vou must be patient with me,
won't you? Don't expect too great
things from me at first, although
in spite of the fear, I am longing to
see you, and somehow in my heart
I think I feel sure It will be all
right. . . I shan't', write again
you will be home before you could
get another letter. So 'its just ..an
re voir, dear. Anne V'jt v 1 :.
The Fortune Honter shrugged
his shoulders and glanced again at
the beading on the paper!
