Lecturer Explains Reasons for
j^Vrecepts of Christian Science
and Their Origin at
Local Church.
Judge Frederick C. Hill, Boston,
Saturday night addressed a large
audience at First Church Christ
. Science on Christian Science healing.'
He explained the reasons for the be
liefs of the church and the origle of
these beliefs.
1 His address In part follows:
"Christian Science le, as Its name
Implies, essentially Christian and Its
practice being predicated upon abso
lute law. It brings healing from sick
ness and deliverance from sin. This
I being the case, Christian Science, as
a great religious movement must be
based upon a revelation of the teach
ings and practical truths presented
I In the Bible. Lest there be confusion
in the thought of those who have
never Investigated this subject, I as
sure you at the outset that Christian
Scientists use for their study and in
I all their rhurrh services one Bible
authority, that of the King Janies
version of the Old and the New Tes
taments.
"Christian Science as It Is presented
to you and to me came through the
discovery by Mary Baker Eddy of the
operation of absolute, fixed spiritual
law. In an Impartial investigation of
Christian Science it Is desirable, in
i, fact quite essential to know some
what of its Discoverer and Founder.
I feel quite safe in assuming that
my early experience in the invest!
of this subject Is similar to
|^yours. My first impulse v.as to in
W quire, 'Who Is Mrs. Eddy?' 'What did
•he discover and found?’ Toe answer
to these questions is simple and help
ful.
Divine Ian Heals.
"Mrs. Eddy was a devout and lov
able. New England woman, deeply In
terested In the Bible. Early in
childhood she displayed a keen pre
oaptlon of the underlying truths con
tained In Bible narratives. Through
her research and study of the
Bible she noted that perfect trust
and confidence In God's laws were
followed by permanent and fixed re
sults and that blessing and healing
were part and parcel of His infinite
plan. Hence Mrs. Eddy dlscoverel
and proved the divine laws of
Life, Truth and Love. After this dis
covery she subjected it to proof and
being convinced of the healing and
redeeming ministrations of these
spiritual laws she determined to give
to the world the benefit of her obser
vation and discovery. Accordingly
she wrote and published ‘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 la Indeed a key
to Sod's Inspired Word—the Bible.
"Regardless of conflicting reports. I
make thla positive and emphatic dec
laration of fact*—Mary Baker Eddy
is the discoverer and founder of
Christian Science and has been so
decreed by our courts.
Destruction of Sin.
"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
criticism that Christian Scientists
make too much of the healing ele
ment. At no time does the human
mind part with cherished beliefs or
relinquish traditional claims until
proof, clear and positive, has been
presented showing that there Is a
better way. It Is not surprising, there
fore, that after material methods have
failed and Christian Science treat
ment has restored health and happi
ness to the Individual very much
should be thought and made of the
healing element. In fact, all Christian
Science practice Is healing In char
acter whether It Is applied to bodily
afflictions or to other forms of dis
cord.
"Mrs. Eddy has discovered and ap
plied the laws of Spirit. The false
beliefs regarding these laws or the
willful rejection of them In no way
affect their Intrinsic value and they
remain ever available to all who will
understand and apply them according
to their Principle. Christian Science
Is applying the red letter# 'Counter
feit' to the false conclusions and the
false beliefs masquerading as realities
in the human mind. It la unfolding
to the receptive thought and bringing
Into human experience positive proof
that, ‘There Is no life, truth. Intelli
gence or substance In matter* and
that 'Spirit la the real and eternal.’
(Science and Health, page 468). This
reality Is the baric, fundamental state
of being. The practice of Christian
Science Is destroying the unreal,
counterfeit values of human beliefs
and Is bringing Into view the basic,
scientific facts of spiritual truth. It
Is furnishing undenlabls proof that
ignorance and false belief have no
port or place In God's creation.
God Is All Oood.
‘‘In the consideration of Christian
Science It Is absolutely essential to
understand the nature of good and
evil and to bo able to distinguish be
tween that which Is Intrinsically good
and that which presents merely the
appearance of good. Christian Science
declares In no uncertain manner that
God Is the source of all good and that
the human—the carnal—mind Is the
procuring cause of all evil. It pre
sents logical. Irrefutable proof that
man lives by divine decree, and that
the scriptural text, 'In Him we live
nnd move and have our being’ de
clares the real status of man and not
merely an emotional theory. It de
clares emphatically that evil Is not a
person, place or thing; that it is not
a cause or creator and that there Is
no realm or dominion over which evil
Is the sovereign power. In fact, It
denies that evil has any power except
such as It assumes In human belief
and it then destroys this assumed
power by overcoming the human mind
with the divine Mind.
"Christian Science presents to you
the conception of God as Infinite
Mind, Spirit, Soul. Principle, Life,
Truth, Love. It presents nothing
about Him save that which Is sup
ported and sustained by Blbls au
thority and which Is rational and com
forting. When It Is perceived that
God Is Infinite divine Mind It at once
becomes apparent that like produces
like, hence His creation must of
necessity be mental and not
material. God must be sought and
found, If at all, through the avenue of
divine mind and not In or through
matter. It then becomes clear that
the re-al man whom God pronounced
good Uvea, moves and has his being In
Mind, and la a spiritual, not a
material being, and because he Is an
Idea In Mind he can and does express
ths qualities of that divine Mind
which created him.
Scientists Not t'nmlndful.
"There Is a very erroneous and un
Christian belief Ignorantly entertain
ed by many concerning the attitude
of Christian Scientists toward ths ex
periences called sickness and death.
The opinion Is often erroneously en
tertained that they are unmindful of
these distressing human conditions
and that they olTer no relief to those
who unfortunately suffer from these
beliefs. Nothing could be farther
from the truth. They freely admit
that these conditions call for the high
est degree of human compassion and
they are proving their usefulness and
competency by supplying humanitar
ian compassion In a most effectual
Christian manner.
"They are healing sickness, sorrow
and dire distress In the most effectual
way, In fact they are doing It In the
only way that holds out a ray of hope
or promise for the final deliverance
from these evils. Christian Scientists,
of course, do not agree with those who
adopt the theory that there is some
thing wrong with matter and there
fore something material must be ad
ministered to restore harmonious ac
tion.
"A Christian Science treatment la
a conscientious effort based upon a
sincere desire to bring into human
experience ‘the enduring, the good,
and the ‘true’ so that by the renewing
of the mind it can be proved what
Is that ‘perfect will of God.‘ In other
words, the reformation of the sinner
and the healing of the sick 1* but
proof that divine Principle, God, Is
present and available, and Is, as we
have heretofore seen Immanuel or
God with us. This happy and deslr
nble mental condition is established
through the medium of prayer. There
Is great lack of understanding among
Christian people as to what consti
tutes true prayer.
Prayer Sincere Desire.
"This lack of absolute knowledge
Is the procuring cause of much error
and accounts for the erroneous be
lief that Christian Scientists do net
pray. Such belief ha* no foundation
In fact. They pray continually and
understanding^ and the -. fruits
of their prayers are rich bressings
to humanity. It must be remembered,
however, that In their prayers they
do not supplicate God to conform His
will to theirs or to change HI* lnfl
—
nlte design. Neither do they charge
Him with human delinquencies and
as a matter of course they do not
petition Him to remedy or correct that
which He has not created. They do
pray to Him from the standpoint of
petition Him to remedy or correct that
all things are possible to Him,' and
such prayer is answered by driving
out of human consciousness ths dis
eased, erroneous Images of thought
and letting In the light of God's man
created In His Image and likeness.”

Head of American Theoiophi
cal Society to Give Two
Lectures in Cfrnaha
Coming Week.
"Americans ars thinking today as
never before about things physical
and spiritual.” said L. W. Rogers,
national president of ths American
Theosophlcal society, who will leo
turs Tuesday and Wednesday eve
ning at New Theosophlcal hall, 201
Arthur building at 8:16 p. m.
"Harvard university has estab
llshed a chair for psychlo research,"
he continued, "and the world's most
eminent scientists are Investigating
the phenomena which Indicate that
human consciousness survives ths
death of the physical body.
"It Is only a question of time when
they will succeed in placing a scien
tific foundation beneath the hope dt
Immortality. Ths experiments of the
lata Sir William Crookes, whose
scientific discoveries opened the way
for ths wonders of the X-ray and
who was ths pioneer in psychic re
search. constitute the most Impor
tant step yet taken toward solving
the mystery of death and proving the
coimmon view of It to be a delusion.
"In philosophy, as well as In
science, ths advancs Is rapid and the
old answers to soul problems no
longer satisfy. The most devout are
no longer willing to accept absurd
and contradictory sxplanatlons mere
ly because faith demands It, while
reason rebels against ths insult to
Intelligence.
"Ths controversy that has arisen
In ths churches between fundamen
talists and modernists Is dhly ths
first skirmish of rellgous thought.
Ths world is demanding a religious
philosophy that Is as reasonable as
It is reverent and there can now be
no peace until ths old misconceptions
have been replaced by ths truths of
nature.”
