SCIENTIST SAYS
DOCTRINE IS AID
TO GOVERNMENT
Individual Control Is Key to
National Self-Rule, J. S.
Braithwaite Asserts -In
Lecture.
"Christian Science is the' key to
self-government," declared John Sid
ney Braithwaite, member of ' the
board of lectureship of the First
Church vof Christ, Scientist, of Bos
ton, in a lecture at the Second Church
of Christ, Forty-first and "Davenport
streets, last night. His lecture will
be repeated tonight. M. Braith
waite spoke in part, as follows:
"The interest that as been aroused
in the subject of Christian Science is
due to the fact that, besides healing
people of physical ailments and keep
ing them well, it is also unfolding to
them the true method of self-government.
"There Is no lesson more needed
today than that of individual self
government. Christian Science, turns
the truth-seeker to the Bible and,
with the commentary it supplies,
turns up the light, so that all can see
and understand things that were for
' merly hidden from them.
' Science of Teacing.
"Mrs. E4dy brought to Christian
ity that which it had hitherto
lacked the science of its Reaching
Nothing c6uld be added to the spirit
of the Master's teaching, but the
age was demanding its scientific and
systematic explanation. Mrs. Eddy
supplied both. Her book, "Science
and Jlealth, With Key to the Scrip
tures," is the textbook of Christian
Science, and her Church Manual
provides the rules by which this
healing system becomes an integral
feature of the Church ,of Christ.
These two books never can be sepa
rated nor superseded.
"It is because men are apt to
think, themselves dependent on ma
terial conditions that evil seems so
real to them, and conversely the
proof in Christian Science that they
nre not dependent on material con
ditions releases from the fear of
, evil. This was proved to be the
case over and over again by the
qldiers in the trenches, who, con
fronted with horrible conditions of
damp, danger and discomfort,
seemed to rise to a higher freedom
and cheerfulness than anybody had
supposed to be possible.
Mind Causes Disease.
"To many of them Christian Sci
ence came as a very natural explana
tion of this"" phenomenon, and it
" seemed easy to realize that true op
timism involves the rejection of the
" evidence of the senses because in ap
plying this method, a sense of immu
nity from evil was found to result
It may be comparatively easy to see
that the socalled properties of mat
ter are qualities of thought, but it is
quite another thing to gain the spir
itual perception that matter-thoughts
are illusion or nothingness. Chris
tian Science teaches that disease is.
not a law of God, neither is it a law
of matter, but that it is mortal mind
! that causes disease, and mortal mind
! , that needs to be corrected. It was
Jesus' understanding of this fact that
gave his mission on earth such start
ling significance. With his clear
y spiritual vision he taught men the
simplicity of the truth and healed all
kinds of diseases, treating them as
the results of false belief."
