CHRISTIAN SCIENCE:
THE SCIENCE OF SALVATION
S. Hering,
(liy Professor
C.
II ii 1 1 a 11
S. II.)
In considering the subject of
"Christian Science: the Science of
Salvation," is it. well to have a
tii i j 1 1 1 a 1 understanding as lo the
moaning of I he terms. Science
means exact, systematized and
denionslratahle knowledge of
facts, laws and causes, while ac
cording to Smith's Hiblo Diction
ary, salvation means deliverance
from' temporal evils and earthly
destruction," in other words, de
liverance from evil, from sin, dis
ease and death. Hence "Tin1
Science of Salvation" means in
substance that, demonstrable
knowledge which affords deliver
ance from all evil.
St. Paul admonishes us to work
out, our own salvation. This
scriptural command means far
more than the common belief that
salvation is assured by simply
having belief or faith in Jesus as
the Son of !od. Such saving faith
is vitally necessary, but it is only
the beginning of our salvation
its spiritual basis.
Then must follow the working
out of our deliverance from evil
on this basis; our actual separa
tii mi from sin, from the bondage
of this world, from limitation,
failure, disease, death.
In working out our salvation
we must llrst see that salvation
or deliverance from evil is a men
tal process, lakes place in mind;
(hat it is a transformation
through mind and is both ethical
and philosophical.
The bible declares that "to be
carnally minded is death; but to
be spiritually minded is life and
peace."
Christian Science teaches that
matter and material existence are
phenomena of the mortal, ma
terial, Unite mind, a concept of
existence obtained through the
physical senses, a inisapprehen
sion of reality held by human
consciousness when uninstruclei
by science, an appearance instead
of an actuality. It is simply an
imitation or counterfeit obtainet
from a Unite, dimensional, mortal
basis.
Now it is not the appearance,
but only the original that has
power, intelligence and substance.
The manifestation of growth, ac
tion or being in matter is but a
material concept of spiiilual
facts.
The objects, action and power
expressed in a "moving picture"
are not in the picture and we do
not associate them with the pio
ture, but with the original which
the picture reproduces. Similarly,
life, growth, action, power, sub
stance, law, el cetera, are not in
inaller, physical existence or the
material consciousness; but in
divine mind, the only cause and
principle of being, and should be
fo thought of.
When we recognize (iod as the
only mind, the only cause, truth
is rellecled in consciousness and
existence is harmonious. When
we believe causation to be ma
terial or in mortal mind, we put
our trust and dependence in a
shadow, a false belief, and exist
ence, so called, is discordant, lia
ble to disease, disaster, death. In
order to work out our salvation
we therefore need lo understand
causal ion.
The ordinary human concept of
mind is that which thinks, feel or
wills, the intellect, or the activity
of the gray matter called brain.
Christian Science reveals the fact
that mind is divine principle, the
inllnile life, truth, love, omni
potent, omniscient, omnipresent,
the all-inclusive, eternal, un
changing, all-wise being, the only
cnue and rrentor.
Christian Science makes it clear I
that material existence is no) the
manifestation of this divine
mind, but the phenomenon of the
counterfeit, called mortal mind.
It is this false concept of ex
istence that does all the wrong
thinking; that believes in sin, dis
ease ami death; that claim there
is IMe ami intelligence in maiier.
The difference between the
method of healiuu through mental
suggestion, or hypnotism, and
that of the divine mind, the Christ
healing, must be clearly seen.
When the effort is made to heal
by suggestion, the operator en
deavors by means of menial mani
pulation to make the patient be
lieve that he is not sick. He at
tempts to change the belief, but
the cause of disease remains and
in time manifests itself even in
worse forms. The patient, is no
heller-off, he has not risen in the
scale of being, he has no more
manhood, or moral courage, and
does not! know any more about
find and His Christ than before.
The true Christian Scientist re
llecls the divine mind, stands on
I he basis of (Iod, man and the uni
verse as spirit, and spiritual, as
love and its manifestation, as
mind and its ideas perfect and
harmonious. Hence he under
stands the unreality of matter ami
evil ami Knows inai man is uoi
sick, but . thai the patient is
imply suffering from a false
niesiiieric beiiei. irom mat
standpoint he proceeds to correct
the errors of belief with the truth
of being and thus establishes har
mony on a spiritual, scientific
basis." :'
II is -not to be wondered at, in
deed it, is inevitable that Christian
Scientists should love Mrs. Eddy
for having brought, to the world
this science of .salvation, the true
knowledge of Cod and man, the
piritual understanding of the
holy xeriptures which enables
I hem to know themselves and lo
demonstrate that "saving faith"
which alone leads lo heaven.
Mrs. Kddy did not simply slate
er discovery to the world; she
demonstrated it and then offered
it as a deinonst cable science for
all mankind to profit by. This
science overcomes evil, by giving
a true knowledge of Cod and His
Christ; it enables all humanity to
work out their own salvation and
reach that pure consciousness,
which Jesus called the "kingdom
of heaven."

Yesterday marked the ending of
the base ball season in I'latts
inoul h . and it was certainly a
glorious day for the Roosters,
who were pilled against, the Fort
Crook soldiers. The local team
went right after the scalps of the
soldier hoys and in the first in
ning secured three runs. The
attendance was finite, large and
was completely carried away by
the playing of the local boys.
Noah was in line form yesterday
ami gave the soldiers no chance
to win, tifleen of them striking
out during the course of the
game. Noah also created sonic
excitement bv knocking a home
run in the second inning. He
was also there on the fielding
proposition, several of the put-
outs being through his ass st-
mce. Fred Mann also got into
the spotlight in the first, inning.
when, with the bases full, In-
placed a two-bagger to center
field, bringing in three scores.
In the first inning there was
nothing doing on i in pari oi ine
soldiers, only one of them reach
ing first and thai through an
error. J lie Hoo ers proceeded lo
o numerous things in their half
and were aided greatly by Howard,
the soldiers' pitcher. Real, . I ho
llrst man up, bunted to third and
beat, the throw to first. McCauley,
who followed, was hit by a pitch
ed ball, and Herold was also hit
by the pitcher, filling the bases.
Here is where Fred Mann pro
ceeded' to lake sweet revenge on
the military gentleman who was
pitching, by laying on one of his
curves for two bags, bringing
Heal, McCauley and llerold home.
Louie Smit h ended I he inning by
striking: out.
The second inning showed the
same result for the soldiers as
the first, while Noah for 'the
Roosters secured a home run
over I.Jie left field fence. There
was no. more scoring until the
fifth, when Heal hit a two-bagger
and was followed by Arries, who
also drove out n two-sacker,
bringing Ileal home. Arries was
caught at third on McCauIey's
hit, and the side was out on
Herold puloul, third to first.
In the sixth C. Smith hit safe
over shortstop and was followed
by Mann, who drove a hot one to
short that was fumbled, allowing
Mann lo reach first. Louie Smith
hit to third, bringing in C. Smith.
This ended the scoring for that
inning.
The Roosters in the seventh
added another lo their list, when
Heal hit to center field and the
fielder dropped the ball, allowing
him lo reach first safely. Arries
fouled out. McCauley hit safely
lo short, bringing Heal home.
Herold hit a tly lo left and was
out. C. Smith hit safe over sec
ond, but Mann, who followed, was
out on a fly catch.
The soldiers saved themselves
from a shutout in the eighth,
w hen I he first man up hit safe
over L. Smith's head. Switzer,
who followed, hit for a two-bag
ger, bringing the runner home.
Howard hit safely to center,
bringing Switzer in. This ended
the scoring, as the next three men
went out in one, two, three order
In the ninth there was nothing
doing in the scoring line, and (he
game ended, 7 to 2, in favor o
the llooslcrs.
The season has been a very
successful one as a whole for the
llooslcrs and Ihey have given the
patrons of the game some mighty
good base ball. It is to be hoped
that the team will be under the
same management next season,
as Manager Johnson has spared
no effort to give us a winning
team. The score by innings of
Sundav's game was as follows:
