SEELEY SPEAKS ON CHRISTIAN SCIENCE IN SCHOOL AUDITORIUM - A lecture on Christian Science jvhat It Is and how It works, "was, delivered by Paul Stark; Seeley. C. S. B., member of the board of lectureship of the mother church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, In Boston, Mas"!., at the high school auditorium Friday evening. Mr, D. C. Stott Introduced the speaker, who said: ; Christian Science brings a healing message, it condemns nothing but evil. It exalts nothing but good. It is not the dogma of a denomination. t is the Word of Truth in which science and religion are seen as one, and In this one Is found true medicine, even the healing power of God. It matters not where one may be on life's road. Christian Science brings io the listening ear a message of helpfulness and love. To the Bick, It shows the certain way to health, to the one entangled in the meshes of Bin It adds moral courage to right resolve, and points the road to freefiom and deliverance. " To those weighed down by burden and distress It opens the highway of peace and happiness through a fuller understanding of the goodness and of the love of God. To all who seek for better things It Is the dawn of a new light, that supplants mystery with reason,, ignorance .with, intelligence,

doubt,, with . cpnfldence, and unkindfaess with "love. , ', In early womanhood Mrs. Eddy became "convinced that Christ Jesus healed "by some certain law and that the same law could be applied now as well a9 then. Her high hope wa3 . illustrated by this remark made by her when Invalidism seemed almost too much for her to bear, "I know God can and will cure me. If only I could understand His way." To "understand His way" became the objective of her life. Abandoned by friends, forsaken by relatives, burdened by sorrow, sickness, and poverty, thi3 frail New England gentlewoman pressed forward for twenty years in untiring search for that law of healing which is as eternal as the love of God and as unchanging. Shortly after Lincoln had accomplished his God-appointed task there cam to the waiting thought of thH pure woman, at a moment of extreme physical need, a clear perception of the law and method by which Christ Jesus and the early Christians had healed the eick, and she was instantly healed from the results of what had been pronounced a fatal injury. But it required nine years of further study and application of this law before the Christian Science textbooks, Science and Health vith Key to the Scriptures, was completed and given to the world. This book corroborates and explains the teachings of the Bible. It pierces with the rays of spiritual Truth every human problem and ' omits nothing that needs to be known in order to accomplish the full deliverence of men from the bondage to evil and mortality. - Written in Lynn, Massachusetts, in a lbnely attic chamber, under a single sky-light window, the rays of its healing message havo lightened the hearts of multitudes. And its work Is only begun. In the world today we observe imany good ideas that are command ing Increased consideration. Theso ideas pertain to the welfare and betterment of men, Individually and collectively. We note the idea of Indus trial justice as between employers and employees being given fuller consideration than ever before. Industrial leaders are realizing that the time is near when the great masses of mankind must be freed from the overburden of physical toil and the

consuming fear of poverty. Through' the clouds of confused opinion, we see the Ideas of International arbitration and co-operation among the nations of the earth becoming more fully established la thought. We eee such" events as the Associated Advertising Cluba of America taking for their organization's motto, "Truth-" The Rotary Club, an International organisation of business men, makes "Service above Self the keynote of Its activities. Now, my friends, where do these right Ideas come from?, All that we know anything about Is what la called matter and mind, eo It Is from one or the other that these Ideas must come. Matter can be divided Into Bome ninety chemical elements, about twenty of which make up the human body, though Its chief constituents are water, Ealt, carbon, and oiL The brain, often regarded a3 the source of thought, la said to be from 70 to 90 water, about the same percentage of water that is in a tomato or a very , eoggy potato, I presume. So we must decide whether . these ideas of Industrial Justice, honesty, kindness, and bo on originate In matter or In mind. Who would say that an Idea of International arbitration came from a pint of water mixed with a tablespoonful of salt with some oil poured in, not matter how much that combination was extended and depressed up to make an imposing appearance. These Ideas, let - us note, are not affected by time or space. They are the same in essence today as they were 2,000 years ago, and the came in South Africa as in the United States. They are always here, and everywhere, and no one has to do anything but think them in order to have them. .Yet no human being 13

their source or cause. It is evident that these ideas spring from a common source with which each one of us has a fundamental mental relationship. Christian Science explains that this fountain source of all right ideas is Mind, intelligence, always here and everywhere, but never in matter. This always-present Mind la God, and Is the source of all good thoughts. Man is the agency through which this Mind expresses itself. Let us remember then, that God la Mind, our intelligence, our life, and that in reality man is the individual expression of God. The only reason for man to express God, good. Evil From Carnal Mind. But, someone may say, there 13 much about man that is not the expression of real intelligence, or God. There is much selfishness, hate, sin and disease. Yes, that surely seems to be so. How then are we to account for the ungodly conditions with which we are confronted? This is ihe explanation. Good thoughts are the expression of God. Evil thoughts, fear, sin, disease, discord, and so on ara the expression of a so-called evil mind, the negative and opposite of God, immoral Mind. How To Destroy Evil. Now, let us begin the consideration of the method by which we apply Christian Science to work the destruction of evil. We cannot lift ourselves from the earth by our own bootstraps. To raise ourselves from the ground we need to get hold of something higher than we are. So to get free from evil and mortality we must lay hold of something higher, a higher sense of life and existence, and that sense is the spiritual or God-appointed sense, of being. First, remember always that every claim of evil must be reduced to -a mental argument, a suggestion of the carnal, or mortal mind. "The basio error Is mortal mind," writes Mrs. Eddy on page 405 of Science and Health. If we wish to be rid of a tree that is sending out poisonous odors we would not try to combat tho odor. We would search out the root and strike there. If we wish to be rid of evil we do not bother too much

with its particular arguments, we go to the root of It all and strike there J If then we reduce the evil that confronts us to a mental argument with the carnal mind as its cause, what next? How do we get rid of this erroneous cause? How do we get rid of a shadow? A shadow is but the absence of light. To get rid of it we let In the light Then there ia no shadow. Christian Science shows that evil is not the fact of existence, only a shadow thought, the opposite of the fact. So in place of a mistaken evil sense, we turn to God, who is light, or intelligence, and realize that He is the only Mind, the only Truth, the only Life,, and the only Love! that there is no other Mind, and that the supposed evil mind is not -Mind., substance, or reality and cannot influence, affect, or control God or His harmonious creation, including man. Now, secondly, please note this: The only way we destroy a lie is by ceasing to believe in it Likewise we destroy evil as we cease to believe in it. We only cease to believe in it as we realize the substantiality of good and the presence and the power of God. We only realize the presence and power of God as we strive moment by moment, day by day, yes, thought by thought, to think the thoughts of God. Rays of light displace darkness, drops of water put out fire, thoughts of God, good, nullify evil. There is no other way. Christian Science shows evil to be nothing but a negative state of thought It is like ignorance. We can all see that there la no euch thing In reality as ignorance. Ignorance is but a negative state of thought, the absence of something, and it disappears instantly when intelligence appears. So every phase of evil is but a phase of spiritual ignorance, an absence of the understanding of good, the affirmative, spiritual Truth of being, and it disappears before the light of spiritual

intelligence as the darknesa flees before the dawn. Application of Christian Science. So when evil - whispers, "I'm catching cold. My feet are wet and I'm afraid I will soon have a cold in my bead," the Christian Scientist says in substance, "God, good, is my life, the source, and support of my being. Sickness is not of God and has no relationship to Him or to His expression man. Mortal mind and its evil manifestations have no real existence and cannot for an instant deprive man of his God-appointed condition or destiny. My true selfhood as determined by God, is harmonious, healthy and free. I therefore refuse to be dominated or controlled by any argument of cold or sickness which has no authority from God In and by whom I live, and move, and have my being.'Or suppose the Christian Scientist awakens some morning with the thought that a pending business transaction is likely to fall through and his supply be diminished or cut off. What will he do? He will at once recognise this thought as an evil suggestion cf mortal mind and will turn his thought to God as the source of all life, the supplier of all good. He will recognize that there is no real power but the power of omnipotent Mind, moving in the thought of every creature and appointing all action, decision, and judgment according to the will of unerring wisdom which operates impartially for the good and happiness of all. He will know, right in the face of what error may claim, that what is the will of God must be and that what is not the will of God cannot be, that hia well being depends not on any person, or persons, but on God who sustains all, and unfailingly supplies the needs of every creature in the ways of wisdom and love. Moral Courage Requisite. You will eee, I think, that this method of mental practice simply dis-

CITIZENSHIP TRAINING SYSTEM IS PURPOSE OF SCHOOL LEADERS (By Associated. Pres) NEW BRUNSWICK, N. X, May 6. Educators from the leading; -colleges of the east and middle west held a conference here today to wvrk out a system of educating which will train men and women for citizemfcip. They endeavored to answer such questions as; "Why do you insist that history be taught? What is the use- of studying economics? Do we get anywhere with the teaching of civil government? Do ony of these .do any real good when it comes to making intelligent and useful citizens?" ' The meeting was called by the Association of History Teachers of the middle states in co-operation with the national council for social studies which was organized in Chicago last February. The five leading speakers today were: Henry Johnson, Professor of History in Teachers' college. Columbia university; L. C. Marshall. Professor

of Economics In the University of Chi cago; Edgar DawBon. Professor of Political Science in Hunter college, New York; W. W. Atwood, President and Professor of Geography in Clark tmfc versity, and J, P. Lichtenberger, Pro-'i feseor of Sociology in the University, of Pennsylvania. These educators propose to work out the elements of an educational system and, through the national council tor social Btadies, to cooperate with experts In school management In making it fit into -school curricula.

godly testimony of mortal sense, no matter how time-honored, with the reasoned truth of affirmative and harmonious spiritual sense. It Is, to be sure, a radical break with the old order of thinking and it requires courage, moral courage, and lots of it. But the best thing about the method is that it works, a fact to which the entire Christian Science movement is a living testimony.
