CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

SYNOPSIS OF LECTURE DELIVERED BY REV. ANDREW J. GRAHAM, C. S. The following is a synopsis of the lecture delivered by Rev. Andrew J. Graham, C.’S. member of the Board of Lectureship of the Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass., delivered at the Christian Science church in Rensselaer, Munday evening, April 28. His sbuject was “Christian Science: The Vision of Christ Jesus.” Christian Science not only teaches, but demonstrates divine aid, thereby adhering strictly to the declaration of Scripture: “I will show thee my faith by my works.” Many thousands of written testimonials of healing and regeneration, covering the last fifty years are preserved and accessible; current testimonials of redemption from sickness and sin appear regularly in the Christian Science Journal, Christian' Science Sentinel, and the Christian Science Heralds in French and German; each Wednesday evenings in all Christian Science meetings are heard the living voices of grateful men and. women testifying to the power of Christian Science to heal and to save; throughout the world, beyond broad waters and behind lofty mountains, in great cities and quiet hamlets, by the. domestic fireside and in trench and in hospital, men and women, confiident and calm, joyous and active, are found declaring that through Christian Science they have come to know, and in some measure Wave been able 1 increasingly to demonstrate, that God is a sure remedy for every ill, here and now. When one finds the correct answer to a problem in mathematics he is certain the rule by which he works is true. So when through the application of the Principle of Christian Science one sees the destruction of disease and mental perversity, he knows that the rule of healing as taught by Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, is true. .The test set up by Jesus the Christ is this: “By their fruits ye shall know them.” On page 313 of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” Mrs, Eddy writes: “Jesus of Nazareth was the most scientific man that ever trod the globe. He plunged beneath the material surface of things, and found the spiritual cause.” Again on page 476 of the same book she writes “Jesus beheld in Science the perfect man, who appeared to him where sinning mortal man appears to mortals. In this perfect man the Saviour saw God’s own likeness, and this correct view of man healed the sick.” The vision of Christ Jesus, therefore, was not to him a deferred fact; it was seen and known as present. THE VISION EXTENDED

The workable knowledge of the omnipotence and omnipresence of God was not confined to the consciousness of Jesus the Christ. He left witnesses to himself, empowered to extend and to manifest the works of healing and regenerate cyi which he had done. For a long time after Jesus had vanished from sight, the divine command: “Heal the sick,. . . raise'the dead,” was obeyed and fulfilled. “Like trailing clouds of glory,” the faith and works of the primitive Christians were as a light shining in heathen darkness. The ardent faith of the Christians which had thriven under merciless persecutions was caught in the insidious snare of formalism. Its light began to wane, its vision vanished, and it sank approximately to the world’s level, where it seemed to sleep for a thousand years, while every phase of sin and tyranny was practiced in its name. These centuries constitute what may properly be called the Dark Ages. A theoretical system of salvation had thrust itself between God and the individual man. “And it was night.”

THE RE-DAWN In 1366 A.D. John Wycliffe, called the Morning Star of the Reformation, was at the zenith of his influence. An article in the Encyclopedia Britannica which gathers up the thought of many scholars says: “He (John Wycliffe) may be at least claim to have discovered thesecret of the immediate dependence of the individual Christian Upon God, a relation which needs no mediation of any priest, and to which the very sacraments of the Church, however desirable, are not essentially necessary.’* This spirit of the Reformation began to do away with serfdom and feudalism and to emphasize the right of the individual. It broke somewhat the bondage in which the human mind had been held, and thought thus released became active in many directions. Christian Scientists are not unmindful of, but recognize, the value of this Reformation movement to human history which prepared mankind for the reception again of the unnutilated gospel. They ackwnoledge the Reformation stood for activity in the right direction, but was not radical enough to remove all the misconceptions about God with which ,the Dark Ages had beclouded thought. * This work remained to be accomplished by a movement more spiritual in its perception, more comprehensive in its understanding- of the gospel. ’ ' > In the year 1866 Mary Baker Eddy, whom medical skill had failed to relieve of a serious physical trouble, was instantaneously healed through reading the Scriptures. Christian

"HEART OF HUMANITY” SURPASSES ALL PRODUCTIONS

' “The Humanity,” screened at the Princess theatre Wednesday afternoon and evening, and which is again being shown today, surpasses all screen productions previously shown here. Film critics have termed the play the last ' thing in filmdom. Crowded houses greeted the performance both in the afternoon and evening, and all who witnessed it proclaimed it the greatest screen play ever shijwn here, pronouncing is as superior to “The Birth a Nation” and “Hearts of the World.” The play is beautifully done and dramatically strong. Although a long feature, there is never a time when the interest is not to the fore, being sustained in scenes’ that are based on true patriotism, with many others that reach heroism of the most genuine kind. The scenes are presented with a reklism that causes the impression to last. The play bears an alien atmosphere but at the same time is very real and close to the audience.

Scientists know that with her healing began the modern fulfillment of Jesus’ promise: “When he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth.” Instead of taking her physical healing and losing herself in the throng of the unthankful, her gratitude to God and compassion for suffering humanity led her to investigate and to mediate. On page 109 of “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” Mrs.„ Eddy writes: "For three years after my recovery, I sought the solution of this problem of Mind-healing, searched the Scriptures and read little else, kept aloof from society, and devoted time and energies to discovering a positive rule.” Thif’rule she discovered, stated, elucidated, and demonstrated, over and over again, in healing the sick, thus reinstating the most practical feature of primitive Christianity. MARY BAKER EDDY

A Christian Scientist does not give his testimony to exploit himself, but to express gratitude for the great things divine Love has done for him. The psalmist expresses this desire in the words: “I have not concealed thy loving-kindness. . .from the great congregation.” I have alluded tojny own healing out of the deep'est gratitude to the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science. I had hated her without a cause, I had ascribed to her base motives, and I had conceded to her no acknowledgment of good. I opened the book, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” and read on page 1: “The prayer that reforms the sinner and heals the sick is. an absolute faith that all things are possible to God, — a spiritual understanding of Him, an unselfed love.” My heart was moved. I said to myself, Only one who has lived near to God could write thus. .With that honest recognition of justice to Mrs. Eddy, the healing came. About six months' afterwards I began a careful study of her life. From various sources I found an illuminating mass of unquestionable testimony to her worth. In studying the records of the courts to which Mrs. Eddy appealed in order to protect her writings and maintain the truth of Christian Science unadulterated, there was revealed corroborative evidence of her unselfed love for humanity. This candid investigation clarified my thought and deepened my conviction already formed that Mrs. Eddy was the most xpmarkable woman since the birth of Christianity.

THE TEXTBOOK

It is fitting at this time to say something about the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” by Mrs. Eddy. The dominant thought of the textbook ,is spiritual. If anything else is sought in its pages it will be unresponsive. To those who are hungering and thirsting after righteousness an dto the sick and sinful who are seeking peace, it is as deep responding unto deep. Simply the reading of it has lifted thousands of sufferers out of despair. Friends: the man who is really homesick to know his heavenly Father, God, from whom he seems to be separated, is ready to study this textbook, and to gain through its teaching, healing and purity and peace. The Christian Science textbook, through informing and guiding the truth seeker, disposes thoroughly of a cold storage Bible, by throwing the doors wide open and exposing its treasures to all who desire them. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE HEALING What is Christian Science healing? It is the overcoming of disease by the same method which Jesus employed, that is, by understanding and utilizing the infinite power of. God who, according to the psalmist, health all our infirmities. The results in Christian Science healing differ from those brought about by other methods in that they are moral as well as physical, and are far more complete, satisfactory, and enduring. Jesus never employed nor recommended the use of matter in any form to cure disease. It is not easy to see how a physician can be a follower of Jesus and yet in his profession adopt a remedy exactly the opposite of that which Jesus, by his acts, authorized: This is no insidious I arraignment of the medftal prosesI sion. This is not an assertion that l medical doctors cannot be Christians. It does not impugn their sincerity and noble purpose. It simply asserts what they themselves sometimes vehemently declare, that they do not follow Jesus’ method of healing. Christian Seieiitists abide by Jthe fact written in the Bibl ethat “the effectual fervent prayer of 'a righteous man availeth much.” In one of her

books (Miscellaneous Writings, p. 96) Mrs. Eddy* says of Christian Science healing: “It is not one mind acting upon another mind; it is not the transference of human images of thought to other minds;..., it is not of the flesh,.. .It is not one mortal thought "transmitted to another s thought from the human mind that hold within itself all evil.” It is Christ come to destroy the power of the flesh; it is Truth over error. This definition of Christian Science healing is a partial exposition of Jesus’ words: ‘’Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” If one desires a fuller explanation he must study Christian Science, and learn how evil is explained and overcome metaphysically.

DEFER BUILDING OF HOTEL

STOCK GOES RAPIDLY BUT CONDITIONS WARRANT POSTPONEMENT OF BUILDING. The proposed construction of a modern and up-to-date hotel building at the corner of Washington and Front streets on the plot of ground purchased by C. P. Moody from B. S. Fendig will not occur this year, conditions as the present time warranting the postponement of building operation until a more favorable time. Following a meeting of parties interested in the venture, it was decided that due to the high cost of building material and labor, the difficulty of securing competent labor, and the disadvantages which wouldbe experienced through delay in the shipping of building material, etc., that it would be the wiser plan to wait until conditions become more normal. It was found upon investigation that the construction of such a hotel as planned would cast far more at the present time than at first estimated, and that those desiridus of purchasing stock would prefer to defer building. It is understood that there has been a liberal subscripition of the stock, and there seems to be but small doubt but that all of the sto(& can be disposed of within a short time, which would assure the city of a modern structure. The construction .of the hotel would be a distinct boost for the city and would give Rensselaer added influence with the traveling public. * An architect has submitted blue prints and there can be no doubt but that an attractive structure will be erected. r
