PAGE TWO irge Crowd Hear Lecture On Thursday Evening at First Church of Christ ON CHRISTIAN SCIENCE j Scientist * ade inguiny Perceivinf' these profound and inâ€" disputable facts, the onl%dlotiul or possible course for Mrs. Eddy in reâ€" ’flrd to disease or sin or any other form of evil was to announce its unâ€" ‘reality,â€"not as a mere theory, but as A scientific‘ proposition to benprovod by those who accept God as infinite. _ You need have no fear that this ]mter classification of evil will beâ€" ittle ‘your intellect or curtail your ability, â€"Ascribing real power or real existence to evil is in itself an uninâ€" telligent act.. Even systems of mateâ€" rial philosophy define the first great Cause in terms of grandeur, immeasâ€" urability, continuity, constructiveness. If this divine Cause could take = nizance of sin, disease, and dufl?fn any form for one instant, its utterâ€" | ance would be after the manner of Jesus in tbe*fiunble, "I never knew‘ m:‘iegart om me, ye that work | a personal king to restore the angient ndeur of t?’e Jewish race. Everyâ€" my todawÂ¥ who reads the New Tesâ€" tament with any degree of intelliâ€" nce, everybody who accepts the arhthnity of the gospel, can see that such a thing was im&oflible, and that if it had been possible and had occurred it would have meant nothing to you or to me or to any other perâ€" son whose need is to be set free from sin or suffering. Just so in our time, the general nfimons and medical beâ€" lief was that the most that the prayer of the gos?el eould do, and the only ‘thing that it could safely be permitted: to attempt, was to confer a blessing upon material methods or remedies. But the advanced Science, the Science of Christ,â€"Christian Science,â€"had to y that 1?' itt:: tflfirfifft‘.m.m%yn" ways that lim ug ng witt}g ietd' guv;n difficulties, Wouzf Pri" outlined, ‘as an expression nâ€" ciple, God. And so, born of God, born of good, Christian Science appears to mankind, announcing that the one God is good and infinite, and that because He is food and infinite, He is without any taint of evil and without the posâ€" gibility of conceiving evil . _ 4 1 < The Biblical record of the advent and career of Christ Jesus shows that both were disappointing to the mateâ€" rialists: of thoseâ€"times, who, through their misinterpretation of prophecy, believed that Bhrh t would appear as Can there be any valid_objection to thmlon,' to this f:?gfi e;mh its en ng â€" peom every step of the way‘l/i'.gn there be any valid objection t6 the proposition that there really is no dh'm Vthat vvr::r osition ca under: and proved ?

No one can deny the deep devotion and unselfishness of h ‘ work. It remains for us to ca it on by following ‘the teachi lm‘J writings contain. + 3. . Mrs. Eddy‘s pérsonal experience had convinced her of the futility of material methods.

Then we find these sysâ€" tems e:g)nged in the attempt to overâ€" come ictions and diseases which they regard as legitimate and inâ€" evitable phenomena in the universe.
