MAN CAN NOT LOSE INHERENT RIGHT TO PEACE (Continued From Page One.) the field of anticipation. Mortal man is regretting what has happened in the past or he is regretting what has not happened in the past: he is fearing what piay happen in the futnre or he is fearing what may not happen in the future. "In this lecture it is only of the past we are speaking. We are striving to elucidate, by reasoning and By concrete Illustrations, how It is that Christian Science through its close thinking and reasoning ana through its compassionate and loving ministry of healing, releases the human mind from the fear of the past. In this way It opens the door to health, happiness and peace. You ’oubtiess see, then, how appropriate is the phrase, “Christian Science and the Reparable Past.” Man in Science has never had nor can he ever have his last chance for good and salvation. Man in Science has never had nor can he ever have his last opportunity for good and salvation; for God is opportunity and God is present everywhere all the time. "The world needs this gospel of Christian Science and the Keparabie Past, for mortals seem to have inherited an oppressive. mental burden from considerable of the thought and teaching of philosophy, poetry, theology and materia mediea. “Philosopy is supposed to have to ao with lovers of wisdom. And wisdom is concerned with mind. But much of the leaching of philosophy is concerned more with matter than with mind. W hen that brilliant young man, Henry Buckle had completed - the first volume of what was to be bis History of Civilization,’ It was seen that he had in that volume made out man to be entirely the product of matter. Thomas Carlyle, gruff, sometimes rough, but nearly always honest derided the false teaching of Buckle in a j poem beginning thus: 1 “ ‘This is the creed, let no man chuckle, j pf the great thinker, Henry Buckle.’ j And then Carlyle proceeded to show row that Buckle's teaching not only made man to be the product of matter, ! but left him in the tyrannical grasp 01 matter —a prison from which there was co egress. "Have any of you dear people ever heard this expression, concerning some men or women who are trying to be brave under adversity? 'They are bearing up under their trouble very philosophically. This is another way of say- j lug: ‘There are some things which can Sever be cured and therefore they must ; a endured.' This is the teaching of fatalism. It is the declaration of a plaintive philosophy which has not a trace of hope or moral courage in it. POETS OF WORLD (TEACH FATALISM. “Again, a general collection of the world's standard poets would reveal the fact that much literary effort has been expended by then, in emphasizing the teaching of fatalism, and most of them Cow and then express adherence to the creed of an irreparable past. This is cotably true as touching thousands of poems collected in hymn books and sung in churches. Many of them give forth the doleful teaching of an irfepparable past. "More light i” was the glorious prophecy of the poet Goethe, as he was passing on. This is in striking contrast with many poets whose cry would have been: "The darkness deepens "Theology and materia mediea have added, and they are still adding to the mental burden of mankind, by teaching that much of the past is irreparable: that an accumulation of mistakes, failures, etckness and sins, held in the embrace of past years, will imprison one with scarce a chance to reprieve In this life. Mankind needs the glad tidings of Christian Science. These tidings proclaim release to the captives. They proclaim a present God—good—a present salva T tion from failures, mistakes, sickness and sin; they proclaim renewed opportunities, neglected, wasted and rejected, il men are willing to accept the law of Christian Science and honestly seek to practice the precepts which that law presents. "Mary Baker Eddy, on page 39 of Science and Health, writes: 'Now.' cried the apostle, 'is the accepted time; behold. now is the day of salvation’ - meaning, not -that now men must prepare for a future-world salvation, or safety, but that now is the time in which to experience that salvation in Epirit and in life.’ "Permit us new to cite an illustration as to the reparable past. There is an almost universal belief, on the part of mankind, that because of this thing called the past, that is. because of the lapse of time all people must eventually suffer from the disease known as old age: that is, the past years cripple the present. So universal is this belief that the disease called old age can neither be prevented nor destroyed, that men and women do not live very long on this plane, before they begin to get ready for that disease. They begin to prepare for it and make a place for it. And soon they begin to look forward with fear and trembling to oncoming years, increasing infirmities, loss of memory and the gradual weakening of all so-called physical and mental powers. "Scon the conviction takes possession of them that the disease with all its infirmities has arrived and that the only possible way of escape is to die. Now death is not a therapeutic agent. It is Itself error and has no neaiing power. This cruel rreed that the disease of old age can neither be prevented nor overcome is untrue. God never ordained a law that man. in Science, should become Infirm and helpless. The carnal, human, moral mind made this so-called law. So long as men accept It, believe it, look forward to it and declare it to be true, they will fear it and they will experience the cruel effects of it. BROWNING CAUGHT GLIMPSES OF TRUTH. “Ojtside of Christian Science there have been and are some thinkers who have much better beliefs about old age than others. Robert Browning, who without consciously knowing it, yet caught and expressed many glimpses of

William found a pocketbook But the string jerked it back & looked like a happy discovery as it lay there on the sidewalk—until the discoverer reached to pick it up. Then the hidden string jerked it away. All William got was disappointment.

That’s the way a good many people have found it to be with the comfort and cheer they thought they had secured in tea and coffee. When they came to depend on it — there was a hidden string, and nothing left but disappointment. The drug, caffeine, in tea and coffee, is a nerve stimulant. Constant stimulation of the nerves often produces rebellion that, takes the form of sleeplessness, headaches, irritability, high blood pressure. That’s the string to tea and coffee.

Christian Science truth, has written these virile and Inspiring words for those who are afraid of old age: ‘Grow old along with me, The best is yet to be, The last of life, for which the first was made; Onr times are in His hand Who saith. “A whole I planned, Youth shows but half; Trust God; see all, nor be afraid.’ ’’ This is an encouraging thought, but it is not Christian Science. It is simply a better belief about old age than some other mortal minds express. Mary Baker Eddy states the fundamental fact clearly and boldly, on pages 244 and 245 of the textbook: ‘Man in Science is neither young nor old. He has neither birth nor death,’—'Decrepitude is not according to law, nor is it a necessity of nature, but an illusion.’ It is good to have an understanding of this wonderful truth in Christian Science that everything which is unlike God is an illusion, and can be destroyed by knowing the truth. This understanding will enable men and women to forestall old age and to renew and to reinvigorate themselves. As the alert player on the chess board sees the enemy aproaching an unprotected point, and moves his king, or queen or castle before the on-coming foe, and says. ‘Check,’ and says it effectively and effectually, even so may men and women superimpose their understanding of the truth before the approaching disease named old age and say: ‘Check.’ They may not only check it,- but turn it back 1 Christian Science is demonstrating the overcoming of this disease in thousands i of cases throughout the world. "Eleven years ago, I myself was an old man with the thoughts and infirmities of that disease. Besides that, I was suffer- i ing from physical ills, and neither my prayers nor the prayers of the church to which I then belonged, brought any re-1 lief. Materia mediea also failed me. For twenty-five years, I had assailed the name of Mrs. Eddy and periodically preached against what I thought she taught. In that hopeless condition, Christian Science came to me. I was instantaneously healed. The advance of old age was checked and to a marvelous degree has been turned back. “As Christian Scientists and as aspirants for victory, we must look to nothing less than the perfect model, which means the destruction of inharmony of every nature. 'A man's reach should exceed his grasp. Else what’s a heaven for?” We must aim at something higher than that to which we have already attained. The elimination of old age from thought, is man's God-given right. As one overcomes the old age thought, he is destroying the death thought. If through the understanding of Christian Science, we are enabled to add ten or fifteen or twenty years of active, joyous, loving service to mankind, we will have made a large contribution towards overcoming the disease of old age and we shall not have so much to overcome hereafter. SHOULD CEASE THINKING OF AGE. "By way of practical suggestion: We should endeavor to cease malpractlclng on ourselves. We malpractice on ourselves through thinking, believing and declaring tl at old age with its infirmities is inevitable and incurable. We should also cease malpracticing on others. It is cruel to think and declare that men and women are becoming old and touched with the so-called infirmities of j age; it is always somebody’s wrong 1 thinking which brings about discordant, unhappy conditions. "It is the universal teaching of materia mediea, and very largely of mankind, that on account of the past, that is the lapse of time, certain diseases gain a power almost impossible to overcome. It it said that a sickness which has been in evidence for a long time has gained sufficient power to make disease chronic. Now the word chronic comes from the Greek word chrones, meaning time. Therefore, a chronic disease is a rime disease, or a disease which has lasted a long time. In many a lonely home and in many public institutions today, there are multitudes of men and women, suffering from beliefs of chronic troubles. In most cases these troubles have bepn brought upon them by the wrong thinking of the members of their ow n families, by the belief of heredity, by the wrong thoughts of their most intimate and sympathetic friends and by honest, but ignorant medical practitioners whose wrong thinking was making disease beliefs. "Has it ever fallen to your lot, after a long baffling belief of sickness, to be examined by medical experts, nnd then to wait in terrible suspense, long minutes or hours, to learn the decision of the examiners? I have been there and can testify that the fear, sometimes felt by the victim v.-hlle he waits for the verdict of the experts is almost beyond expression. If the case is pronounced chronic aid therefore likely to be incurable, a great fear is implanted in the mental area of the patient and the disease which should be averted is invited. "Another way in which the seeds of chronic disease are planted in human thought is through public lectures about diseases. In some places there lectures are given before school to childrensjind charts are displayed showing so-called diseased organs of the body. Also tabulated statements of the symtoms of various diseases are supplied. By this means it is taught that any child, by noting the so*called symptoms can determine at once the nature of the disease by which is threatened. Fear will always be looking for the symptoms. This Is no imagination. Multitudes of cases of sore, chronic beliefs have been induced through this method. JESUS REFUSED lO KNOW DISEASE. "Jesus refused to recognize any disease as incurable. He knew that added years could never give reality to unreality. In these days and since ISM, Christiun Science, discovered, elucidated and demonstrated by Mary Baker Eddy, has proven itself to be the hope for the hopeless and the help for the helpless. This Truth is demonstrating: and demonstration Is argument and proof. There are thousands of men and women throughout the world today, ready to testify that Christian Science has lifted them out ot a hell of chronic discord. In face of this evidence no one is justified in doubting or denying the healing power of this wonderful truth. In Christian Science it is God who heals; and God knows nothing about time. “We deduce from the teaching of Mrs.

Eddy that disease Is a lie. It is not an entity but a nonentity. It Is not plus, but minus. To human sense, it is not a presence, but an absence. As darkness is only the absence of light, so sickness is the apparent absence of henlth. Sickness is a lie. It is nothing claiming to be something. A lie which hag been asserting itself daily, for ten years, is no nearer to being a reality than is a lie which has been asserting itself only ten minutes. A common illustration which is helpful toward understanding how chronic trouble may be destroyed through Christian Science may be here stated. A room which has been in total darkness for ten years Is no more difficult to light up than is a room which has been in darkness only ten minutes. A door thrown open will light up both rooms instantaneously. Chronic sickness is the dark room. Christian Science is the Open door. I desire to testify, as on the witness stand, to the healing power of Christian Science. It healed me Instantly of chronic ills after I had given up all hope of relief. DELAY IN HEALING NOT DUE TO SCIENCE. ‘‘Perhaps someone may be mentally saying at this point in the lecture, ‘Well, if Christian Science can accomplish these wonderful things, why is It that all sick people are not healed?’ "I pnuse long enough to give some reason* why all sickness is not yet destroyed. In doing this, let it be understood that Christian. Science itself never fails. It is equal to the destruction of all error. It is the absolute truth about God and man. It is the human mind that fails. This so-called mind obstinately refuses to take itself away and let that ‘mind which was in Christ Jesus’ have full dominion. The chief causes of delayed healing are, first, Christian Science practitioners have not yet reached the measure of perfect practice. They do not claim that they can realize healing at once, for all who come to them. They are able to heal some eases instantaneously, some are healed slowly, while there are others they do not seem to be able to reach. As practitioners learn more about God and more faithful to what they do know, they will do better work and more of it. In order to make this progress in better healing it is necessary to bear in mind what Mrs. Eddy writes on pages 141 and 452 of Science and Health. ‘For this Principle there is no dynasty, no ecclesiastical monopoly. Its only crowned head is immortal sovereignty. Its only priest is the spiritualized man. And expect to heal simply by repeating the author's words, by right talking and wrong acting, nnd you will be disappointed.’ The second reason we assign why the multitude is not yet healed is this: Probably more than nlnetentbs of all the people on earth who call themselves Christians are mildly or bitterly opposed to Christian Scienee. This great wall of Ignorance an-I antagonism must be reckoned with in Christian Science healing. On one occasion even Jesus could do no mighty works in a certain locality because of prevalent unbelief. It is also recorded in the Gospel thut before he could raise a little girl to life he had to fut his doubting disciples and the parents of the maiden out of the room. Each Christian Science practitioner knows that a patient responds to treatment much more readily if all the members of his family have a loving thought toward Christian Science. Lite wall es opposition and antagonism must be broken down! It is being broken down. Each case healed in Christian Science weakens that wall Christian Science is the grain of mustard Eeed, steadily growing, whose branches are spreading over the earth. Let me illustrate: It has been reckoned that if the human heart, with its faint beatiug, were laid against Cleopatra's needle on tho Thames embankment and should continue to beat against It unceasingly for seventy years it would crumble that resisting shaft Into dust. That Is what Christian Science is doing to the wall of indifference and antagonism. Each child being healed through truth and crossing over to Christian Science, leaves an additional breach in the wall. Two members of a family, a dozen in a community, u hundred in a district, a thousand in a city, hundreds of thousands throughout the world, represent great breaches in the wail. The wail Is crumbling and every case of genuine hocling through Christian Science ushers in 1 the day of better healing and more of it. UNWILLING ARE SELDOM HEALED. “Those desiring to be healed in Christian Science should be willing to help toward that healing. Yet many expecl the Christian Science practitioner to do It all. They are unwilling to rend, unwilling to study, unwilling even to think about the truth. Such people are seldom healed. The reason they are not healed is this: A Christian Science healing is I not a hospital operation, it is not merely a physical change. It Is the religion Jesus taught and demonstrated. Chris- | tian Science healing is moral ns well as I physical. It opens the understanding | so that one begins to know God—here and : now. Christian Silence healing is salvation and salvation is not something to be | tacked on to the outside of a man. It is ; a well-spring of life Bowing up from i within. Should there be in this audience ! some weary one who longs for healing ifrom chronic suffering, let this be suggested: If he can gain h greater longing for some other man's healing than for his own, he has made great advance toward his own healing- This is the power of ‘unselfed love.' “And now, to proceed with the main thought; that is, the supposed power of the past and the destruction of thut po\\£r through Christian Science. As an example, we cite the case of the Prodigal Son, as it is recorded in St. Luke’s Gospel. This is a type of the prodigal sons of all ages. Tho truth revealed in Christian Science follows the prodigal into the far country. There is no place, no condition where it is not present. It jis the Good Shepherd going into the I wilderness after the sheep that was lost. | The prodigal's disease is a belief of wast,ed opportunity: he has left the home of lore, separated himself from family and ! friends, squandered his means and wasted j his years. When want and hunger and i homesickness attack him, he looks back over a dissipated past and sees no prornlie of redemption In the present life, j The religious teaching to which he has | been accustomed promised him foregive(ness In this life, but not renewed oppor- : tunlty. He sees the past as irreparable.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES.

So general Is the belief that opportunity rejected is never succeeded by fresh opportunity, that even the most loving friends of the prodigal keep fearing and thinking and saying: ‘He has lost his opportunity.’ This grievous burden of discouraging thought, to which the prodigal himself contributes, fetters him as with iron chains. "The prodigal’s troubles have been the result of a two fold thought. He believed that following his own will would bring satisfaction, and, that expectation disappointed, he fell into the slough of despond, and experienced despair. Christian Science shows both these conditions to be false, and because false unreal, and subject to destruction. When self-will is cast out and the Christ thought enters, the prodigal son disappears ana the child of God appears. Mary Baker Eddy, on page 497 of the textbook, writes: ’We acknowledge God's forgiveness of sin in the destruction of sin and the spiritual understanding that casts out evil as unreal. But the belief In sin is punished so long as the belief lasts.’ "There Is no past that Is irreparable, but let no one think that he can lie supinely down In the far country and without any hunger or striving of his own, be brought back to tho land of renewed opportunity and peace. He must himself arise. MAY HONESTLY YEARN FOR HOME. "The prodigal in the far country may begin to long for a return to the father’s house, nnd ma‘ honesty sny : ‘I will arise and go unto my father;’ but he will find it hard to do so without aid. Here the Christian Scleice textbook, ‘Science and Health with K*y to the Scriptures,' Christian Science services, Christian Science reading rooms, Christian Science practitioners, Christian Science lectures and the Christian Scienee periodicals are lovingly provided for his help. Through these avenues, many men, happy and blessed today, have come up out or a bitter past into their Father’s house. "We could note a difference between the case of the prodigal son and that of the one designated the straying pilgrim. The prodigal son made a deliberate break. Ho openly declared his purpose of departing from the fathers house. There was no mystery about his actions. His motives were unconcealed. This much may be said of the prodigal son of every age; he is not a deceiver. On the other band, the straying pilgrim does not openly repudiate; ho betrays. The elder brother in tho parable did not go away from home physically; but mentally he took a long Journey away from the father’s house. This is shown by his unloving thought when the prodigal returned. Tho faithless one of the Apostolic Twelve never openly renounced Christianity. Outwardly he remained a member of the Apostolic group and claimed the privileges incident to it. But in reality he straved afar off. so far that he betrayed his Master. Yet he who betrayed Jesus neod not have confmUtea suicide. Tho separable past belonged to him. on this piano of existence, that Is. la this so-called life. He might have knelt at the foot of the cross a redeemed roan, with peace in his heart. But mixed with his repentance there seems to have been a bitter, remorseful sense of disappointed self-interest, and this self-in-terest shut out that real humility which must always precede renewal of opportunity. The example of the betrayer or Jesus Is a forever-warning to ail of us. He was called and trusted by the bes. man that ever lived. Ho was associated with tho Master and knew what was required of those who dwelt with tho Master But self-will and self-interest were entertained and gratified, leading directly to the betrayal. The Christian centuries afford many similar cases. Regretful ns one may be to recognize tho fact, yet the great movement of Christian' Science affords some striking examples. MARY BAKER EDDY EXCEPTIONAL LIFE. "Mary Baker Eddy, through years or patient activity, learned such a measure of obedience to God—good—that she became tho Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science. The most rigid scrutiny of her earthly life reveals her ns an exceptional woman. No mystery enshrouds her person. She appears to have been so single-minded in her search for truth that self-will, self-importance, self love and self-interest were markedly eliminated from her dally !if“. It seems to us. who never saw her with mortal eyes, but who read nnd study the history of her life with an open mind, that to have known her must have been to love tier. And that grateful love would have striven to yield unquestioning obedience to her teaching nnd directions. But well do wc know that early in tho history of the Movement Mrs. Eddy was driven through deep waters by tho disobedience of men nnd women whom she had befriended, healed, trusted ami honored. These tremblers In Israel never openly repudiated Christian Science. They remained in it, but in various ways, set up their own will, unholy ambition, or self-interest against the ‘teaching and direction of our Leader. "Jesus said: Tty this shall all men know that ye love me, if ye keep my commandments.’ Mrs. Eddy writes in her message of 11)92: ‘Obedience is the

test of love.’ Christian Scientists profess to love Mary Baker Eddy, and they have good cause so to do, for all they have received through Christian Science was made possible through Mrs. Eddy’s untiring search for truth. The test of our love for Mrs. Eddy is measured by our demonstration of her teachings and by our obedience to her directions. Her teaching is summed up in the text-book which has to do, primarily, with the inner spiritual life of the Scientist. Her directions are found in the Manual of The Mother Church and are concerned with the acts of Christian Scientists in all their relations to the Cause of Christian Science. LAWS WRITTEN HELD PRACTICAL, "The laws framed by Mrs. Eddy for the direction, of tho aetivitles of The Mother Church, and the government of its members, as Scientists, were written from a broad, practical standpoint. They are freo from obscurity and ambiguity and are designed for the protection of tho Christian Science Movement. Not only have we our leader’s written laws; we also have her Interpretation and application of those laws during her life time. If this should seem too bold a declaration, let me read Mrs. Eddy’s statement on page 143 of Miscellaneous Writings, as well as on page 3 of tho Manual. There Mrs. Eddy writes: ‘The rules and bylaws in the Manuel • * were written at different dates, and as the occasion required. • • • They sprang from Necessity, • * • from the immediate demand for them.’ It truthfully follows that Mrs. Eddy did not write provisions in the Manual for some future troubles only. The trouble was already at the door and she wrote and applied that particular provision of the Manual at once. Therefore, there is no obscurity or ambiguity about the Manual. It will always be true that for the disobedient, straying pilgrim, there is an open door for return. I repeat: The betrayer of Jesus need not nave committed suicide. The reparable past belonged to him. He might havo knelt at the foot of the cross, a redeemed man, with peace In his heart. For all self-willed, disobedient students there is a healing, but each straying pilgrim must seek the blotting out of the past and the renewal of opportunity in tho right way. "In that fascinating and edifying allegory, beginning on page 323 of Miscellaneous Writings, Mrs. Eddy tells how the divine Stranger camo down to earth and meeting a penitent one said to him : “‘Wherefore earnest thou hither?’ The penitent replied: ‘I came hither hoping that I might follow Thee whithersoever Thou goest,’ and the Stranger said: 'Make thine own way; and if thou straycat listen for the mountain horn, and it will call thee back to the path that goeth upward.’ That Is the only wav whereby one who has strayed 'from obedience may be led back to peace and renewed opportunity. 'Listen for the mountain horn,' or, as Mrs. Eddy puts It in another way: “ ‘Shepherd show me how to go O'er the hillside steep. How to gather, how to sow. How to feed Thy sheep; I will listen for Thy voice, Lest my footsteps stray; I will follow and rejoice All the rugged way.' (Hymnal, page 238.) "He who is obedient to our Leader is obedient also to our Wayshower, .Tosus the Christ. In stern and unremitting watch over himself, yielding loving service to others, one grows into the image of Him who is the same, yesterday, today and forever. The old past loosens its grip; the future ceases to threaten; the heart leaps up vrith gratitude, and in the practical performance of everyday duties it becomes true that: ‘“Earth breaks up. time drops away, In Cows heaven with its new day of endless life.’ “Time, mortal mind and its history, the past with its mistakes, rejected opportunities, sins and sickness should all go—and go now. for they are unreal. All that is good, true and beautiful is imperishable. It has always belonged to us. Only discord can be destroyed. IMPOSSIBLE TO BE LOST FOREVER. "Christian Scienco teaches with logical and spiritual exactness that It Is utterly Impossible for any child of God to bo lost eternally, that peace and harmony are inherent in the real man; that salvation f*om ali error belongs to him all the rime. To know this salvation has been the universal quest of mankind and Its realization is foreshadowed in the Old Testament wherein it is written, ‘The earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of tho Lord as tho waters cover the sea,' and in the New Testament by such passages as, ‘The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death,'

and ‘He must reign till he hath put all enemies under his feet.’ "Human language has endeavored to picture this state of salvation in many ways. No picture is more beautiful than that given to the closing chapter of the Revelation of St. John the Divine, wherein the state of salvation is likened unto a beautiful garden. Lot us now, for convenience, do what is perfectly legitimate, suppose salvation to be represented by a beautiful garden. Into It all men at some time desire to enter, and into It all men eventually will enter. Let us say there are two ways leading to this garden. One way over a rough and painful road, the other by a beautiful patb. The rough road Is a hard road to travel; the beautiful path is a direct and loving way. The children of Israel marched up to the border of the Promised Land in six days, over what may be called the beautiful path. They might have crossed at once over Jordan into tho Promised Land. Being disobedient, however, they turned back and wandered forty years in tho wilderness over what we have named the rough and painful road. "Mrs. Eddy, in ‘Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,' in speaking of release from discord, uses the- expression. ‘Suffering or Science.’ Now Science stands for what I have called the beautiful path and Buffering stands for the rough painful road. Those persons who know something of Christian Science and earnestly seek to realize it in their daily lives are taking the direct, pleasant path, through Science, toward the garden of salvation. Those who see some of the truth of Christian Science and are disobedient to it are walking in the rough and painful road. On page 167 of ‘Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.’ Mrs. Eddy writes: ‘Our proportionate admission of the claims of good or of evil determine the harmony of our existence—our health, our longevity and i our Christianity,’ Christian Science is i exact. We must trust it absolutely. If i today we add Just a little to our stock j of love and obedience, we experience so much the less suffering and so much the I more Joy. Always as we add to our gtock ! of love and obedience, we are thereby | forsaking the rough road and gaining the | beautiful path; we are approaching and entering the wonderful garden of salvation through Science Instead of through suffering. "It is our priceless privilege to return to our Father's house, here and now. No belief of old age, chronic disease, sin, sickness or even death; no sense of discord, in the so-called past, should be permitted to grow in thought. They have no place In eternity. And we are in eternity now, because wo are where God is. DAY BREAKING FOR STRUGGLING. ‘‘And now dear people permit mo to gather up the thoughts of this lecture. I will tell you a little story of my homeland. A dear man, who did not have the light which Christian Science hns brought to some of us, struggled nobly for years, against th* belief of an insidiuog disease. Tho disease lasted so long that the past had many bitter memories. The sad experience of years tried to crush him. The past kept mocking him. One day when discouragement lay heavy on him he wroto a little poem of fourteen lines and named it ‘Barnacles.' You know what barnacles claim to do? LlttU by little they thicken and multiply on keels of ocean vessels and unless the accumulations are destroyed, they not only impede tho speed of the ship, but may destroy It. Now our poet believed that the barnacles, which fasten themselves on human lives and impede progress in good, are the mistakes and failures and sicknesses and sins which Relieves Headache A little Musterola, rubbed on forehead and temples, will usually drive away headache.

are In that thing called the past. Evidently In a day of great depression, he began his poem as follows: 'My soul is sailing through the sea, But the past is heavy and hlndereth me. The past hath crusted, cumbrous shells, That hold th e flesh of cold sea smells about my soul, The huge waves wash, the high waves roll, Each barnacle clingeth and worketh dole And hlndereth mo from sailing.’ “When he had written so much, It seems as though an inspiration came to him. It seems as though he caught a glimpse of the eternal right of man to be free from tyranny of the past, and he finished the poem In a higher and more glorified strain like this: ■Old past let go, and drop i’ the sea, Till fathomless waters cover thee! For I am living, but thou art dead; Thou drawest back, I strive ahead the Day to find; Thy shells unbind; night comes behind, I needs must hurry with the wind And trim me best for sailing.’ “Y'es, that is our privilege, namely, to trim off the barnacles of the past. To repudiate the tyranny of the past Is the privilego of every child of God. ‘Forgetting those things that are behind,’ says the apostle. “It seems to mo it will be helpful if I call your attention to the meaning of the word forget. It is composed of two other words, for and get. A preposition and a verb. The preposition for means in place of, or instead of. Get means to procure or to obtain. IGNORING NOT / FORGETTING FACT. “To forget, therefore, means to get something else in the place of, or instead of, that which one is now holding in thought. Forgetting is a mental operation entirely. One Is therefore capable of performing it. Ignoring something is not forgetting it. To forget is positive, not negative. It is substituting a different thought for the thought one is now holding on to. Let us see how this applies. Has one a belief of and fear of old age? Forget it. Get something else in the place of it. Crowd It out of thought by getting tho growing conviction in Science, that because one is God s child and like him, he cannot be infirm and helpless. God never made a law that in Science man should become feeble and helpless. Therefore, there Is no such law. “Is one weighed down by a belief of chronic disease, chronic trouble of any kind ? Forget it. Get something else in the place of it. Wake up to the fact that God's image and likeness can no more be .controlled by lapse of time than can God himself. “Is one distressed by thought of wasted opportunity and deliberate desertion from the Father's Love? Is one burdened with this direful possession? Forget it. Accept something else in Its place. Learn in Science, that man in reality can never bo separated from the kind, seeking, saving, protecting, loving Father-Mother God. "is one inwardly sorrowing over betrayal of the trust and confidence reposed in him by the great Master and our beloved leader? Forget it. Let us all forget it. Put something else in the

place of it. What shaU that be? What better than that which our leader recommends on page 326 of the text-book: “ 'The purpose and motive to live aright can be gained now. This point won, you have started as you should. You have begun at the enumeration table of Christian Science, and nothing but wrong intention can hinder your advancement, working and praying with true motives, your Father will open the way.’ Loyalty to all the writings of Mary Baker Eddy is the only consistent path for any one who calls himself a Christian Scientist to pursue. “The committee which translated the text-book Into German closed their preface to that translation with these words, ‘The more thoroughly Science and Health is studied both in English and in German, the better the student will apprehend and appreciate the profound depths of wisdom and understanding displayed by the author, the discoverer and founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy.’ SOME ARE HEALED; ALL GOING TO BE. “Friends: You have listened to a lecture on Christian Science. Some of yon are wishing you might be healed through Scienee. Some of you have already been healed. Some are being healed now; and all are going to be healed. We know this Is true because the Christ must reign till he has put all enemies under His teet and God is all in all. "For all you dear people, whq think you are bound in a prison of trouble, there is an open door to freedom, here and now. “In one of the Christian Science periodicals, there appeared a few years ago, this beautiful story: There was a man whose business took him away from home, much of the time. In my country, we call such, traveling men. This traveling man was a good Christian Scientist. Being in a hotel in a distant town, he rose early in the morning and taking his Bible, text-book and quarterly read the Bible lesson. He then went down and stood at the door of the hotel. It being very early he said to himself. ‘What is there for me to do while waiting for breakfast to be ready.’ Just then he looked across the street and there saw a vacant store building. Inside the building he saw a dear little bird beating its life out against a closed window, seeking freedom. A little to one side there was another window sash with all the glass removed, but the little bird, was so busy beating out its life against the closed doer, that it could npt see the road to freedom. “What did the traveling man do? Like a good Christian Science practitioner, he crossed the street and because the bird was too weak to resist his approach, he took it lovingly in his hands and carried it to the open window. When the little helpless creatures saw the open door and felrthe air of freedom, it did what I and many of you did when we first saw the open door of Christian Science —flew away on its journey. It went away on its journey, full of strength and health and joy. "Dear friends, the open door to God is yours. "The Scripture which says: ’Behold, I have set before you an open door and no man can shut it,’ is a pledge to every man, woman and child on earth that the past Is reparable and the open door invites to freedom.”
