Is the healing of God‘s peoâ€" Ple to be left to experimentation, and their salvation to conjecture? _ No!. forâ€" the Scriptures plainly speak of M.Qs one "who forgiveth all thing : inguities; who healeth all thy disâ€"| fases; who redeemeth thy life from | “trnction: who crownetl{ thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle‘s." | Broad as the Declaration of Indeâ€"| e is in proclaiming life, liber-i , and the pursuit of lnp%iueu as | imlienabll:e right of all, the Scripâ€"| hll' declarations just quoted, and| mhr!y the declarations of the | . go much farther. They not| only declare life, liberg&and the purâ€" | suit of happiness, the right of all, but they tell us their true source and how , We may obtain them. What are these Geclarations of the Master? "I am tome that they (meaning all) might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly"; and, "This is life eternal, that tbadmfgbt know thee the only true , and Jesus | Christ, whom thou hast sent." Again, | "For this cause came I into the world, that 1 should bear witness unto the: r or, in fact therapy of any kmd,! patients differ in their reactions to substances that may be administerâ€" ed." According to this statement, not m‘h every case an experimentâ€" 3 means that nothing as to what ',= result from the treatment is ut everfi dose of medicine, n in fact, a “thenp{ of .nz " is mere guesswork. Yet, muc as this fact should humble their pride, medical organizations have not been deterred from striving to pass lawsl «and ordinancesâ€"such as those of’ Realth and school boards, particularâ€" the latterâ€"which would place peo-l entirely under their control; unâ€"| absolute and arbitrary medical| dictation as to what methods peoge. must employ as their cures; what| methods they must employ that they} may live or die. ‘I what K:rt of us, the soul isâ€"but which have none the less assumed the salvation of the soul to be the chief mue of religionâ€"still threaten: ostracism, and with the superstiâ€" tion of eternal punishment, those who | im their urgent need seek the undiâ€"‘ Â¥ided gairment of relifl'on,â€"-the heal-[ ing and the saving Christ. THE DIVINE DECLARATION ' â€"Is there then to be "no baint in‘ 8so, too, the different and differing religious orinniutions which have never been able to tell us what, or in .Mgtion on Private Patients," said, "Physicians, in practice, experiâ€" ment every time they give a dose of a From many a distant shore, Around one altar kneeling, One common Lord adore." This unifying power of Christian Science is Altogether due to its helpâ€" ful, reasonable, and harmonizing preâ€" sentation of religion. Jew, Gentile, and agnostic change their Leliefs or umbeliefs, because Christian Scierce ‘heals them and because it satisfies ‘their reason. â€"MEDICAL AND THEOLOGICAL ._ ATTITUDE UNWARRANTED *« The first and foremost thing to which all of us have an inalienable wight is life. According to the genâ€" ‘eral belief of mankind, life consists ‘of a soulâ€"animated body; and a wellâ€" known writerâ€"Arthur Brisbaneâ€"has ‘wery aptly said: "So far medical pracâ€" tice has reached no agreement as to Journal of the American Medical asâ€" sociation goes much farther in this Td than I should think of doing, dn?t that medm:‘ &ncticfrgs mothing but experimentation. e article, which was headed, "Clinical the right method to save the bodx, mor has theology arrived at any defiâ€" mite conclysion as to the right method to save the soul."n]r;o; eveg‘ dogtors and clergymen wo eny Mr. Brisâ€" bane‘s statement. _ Moreover, the medical profession does not deny that in its over four thousand years of practice, it has not as discovered what life is, what henltms, nor what disease is, ‘nor their ultimate origin. Neither will it assert that it {ln reached a point at which it can say with any certainty that it is able to eure a single case of sickness that is pot selfâ€"limited in its natureâ€"meanâ€" iIng one which would not in time be evercome by the natural processes of selfâ€"restoration. Indeed, the followâ€" ing extract from a recent issue of the ‘ Our country has been called, and " so, "the melting pot”eg’t the fi, becalllue t{mder h:t‘ influcncow people of all nations have, in measure, become a _ homogeneous wholeâ€" Americans.

EDDY If the inalienable right. to more abundant life and to greater freedom is not, like that of happiness, to be a mere rainbow chase, must not manâ€" What then is Science? Only what is true or real can be known, and only Truth or reality cannot cease to be and cannot underfio change. Everyâ€" thing materialâ€" which means everyâ€" thing accepted by the soâ€"called natâ€" ural sciencesâ€"being capable of deâ€" struction or of undergoing change, must be unreal and untrue. This does not mean that their J)roducts are not humanly useful, and that Christian Scientists do not avail themselves of such products. On the contrary, they do,â€"the telephone, the telegraph, the radio the flying machine, and so on, â€"and feel grateful for them. Science, however, is "the knowledge of prinâ€" ci‘rles and causes" and of "ascertainâ€" ed truths," â€"the knowledge of the fundamental, the primary, the ultiâ€" mate, of true or essential being; and such knowledge the natural sciences do not possess, are not,. cannot be. They are useful arts, and in showing that only by courtesy can they be looked upon as sciences,. _ Christian Science does not in the least derogate from them. â€" _ â€" What then may be taken to mean true knowledge or Science? â€" Only such ascertained truths or facts which are basic, fundamental, and constructive, which bless all and inâ€" jure none; which give life, and give it more abundantlg, and bring true freeâ€" dom and true happiness to all. Acâ€" cording to Jesus, true Science is to know God and the Christ whom he came to reveal, and whom to know is life eternal; to Know the liberating truth he taught, and to have the spirâ€" itual joy or happiness which ‘he enâ€" joyed as a result of his true, his Christian Science. And right here let me quote what Mrs. Eddy, the Disâ€" coverer and Founder of Christian Sciâ€" ence, has defined Science to be. On page 127 of her great book, the Chrisâ€" tian Stience textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," she says, "If God, the Allâ€"inâ€"all, be the creator of the spirtual universe, including man, then everything enâ€" titled to a classification as truth, or Science, must be comgrised in a knowledge or understanding of God, for there can be nothing beyond ilâ€" limitable divinity." cause it teaches us to use all tliinf!‘ constructively and none destructively. good and evil (the belief of selfish material pleasure, satisfaction, and gainâ€"that is, of the tree of selfishâ€" ness), thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." _ _ _ 5oieegtufl ‘in Spint.. â€"â€" _: .cc TH SCI&NCESSPT&D SCIENCE _ Science is defined as : "ascertained truths or facts," and as “knowlodfe, bf Ju-incxples and ‘causes." Mechanics and chemistry, which have literally| enabled us to remove mountains; steam and gas, which have made the farthest points of our habitable globe available as our pleasure resorts and | enable us to deck our tables with their choicest and most ishable 'K?oducts; eleetflcig,‘whichm anniâ€" ilated space so t we can speak with one another over continents and oceans; things looked upon as utterly impossible no farther back than the ‘ K:uth of many of us here, now stand| fore us as ‘ascertained and accomâ€"| plished facts. But does any one of them, or do all of them together, mean our having life, and having it more abundantly, when ugm such credible evidence as the Bible our early ancestors lived a great deal longer without these things than peoâ€" ple now live with them? Is any one of them, or are all of them together, the truth which ?'e shall know and it shall make you free, when every one of their products has been used to maim and to destroy, as we have seen within the last few years; when beâ€" cause of them the world is held in abject terror and in fear? Are these the "ascertained truths" which are to make us free, when defenseless womâ€" en and children have been destroyed, when whole nations have been brought into subjection, enslaved and starved by their means? If "a good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit," are not these soâ€"called ascertained truths â€"these soâ€"called sciences â€" the fruits of "the tree of the knowlâ€" edge of good and evil" of which "thou shalt not eat"" But does Christian Science teach us to decrg these things? No! It claims, however, that none of the material sciences, nor all of them togetherâ€"the whole | "wisdom of the world"â€"will ever conâ€" stitute one iota of the truth which ye shall know and it shall make yor free; that none, nor all of them toâ€"| gether, will ever jbring one iota of the joy, the happiness, which the truth known bg Jesus and again asâ€"| certained ‘in Christian Science gives.

God intangible! Impalpable! God, in ‘whom "we live, . and move, and have our bein@," inâ€"‘ tangible, impalpable! There are three | essentials without which nothing| whatever can be: presence, power,| knowledge. Thus, for instance, nothâ€" | ing whatever could be without being‘ ‘somewhere; nothing whatever could| be without rower to produce it, and ‘ nothing could be without knowledge ; to purpose, filnn, and project it. The very first thing that we read in the zBibYe is that "in the beginning" someâ€"| thing was. This something, very| naturally, was a presence, and we are told that it was God. Immediateâ€" ly, that is, without any medium or media, this presence did something;| that revelation in Christian Science, we do know that when we seek God, and "seek him with the whole heart," we shall ever surely find Him, and find Him to be "the same yesterday, and today, and for ever"â€"the God \with whom all right things and only right things are possible. â€" farâ€"fetched the name by which they christen it; whether they call it an atom, or an electron,â€"effect, effect, and still effect, and never cause is seen; for, as the Bible says, "canst thou by searching (analyzing mere things) find out God?" Is there then â€"even as "the fool hath said in his heart, . . . God"? Is there no primary, no ultimate, Supreme Being or cause, simply. because we know not where theology, philosophy, and the sciences have laid Him? Thanks be to God‘s revelation of Himself in both the Old and New Testaments and thanks be to the regurrection of It is universally recognized that nothing could exist without an adeâ€" quate cause to produce it, and the chief concern of Scienceâ€"which, as we have seen, must consist of "asâ€" certained truths or facts‘"â€"is causaâ€" tion; for Science is "the knowledge of principles and causes," and thus of what is primary, ultimate, and basic. All religions have taught that God is the Great First Cause. Thei all say what the first line of the Bible says. But although theology has taught as an article Of faith, as something that must be believed, that God was in the beginning, it has not taught this as something that must be understood and demonstrated. "Believe, . . . and thou shalt be saved," has been its dictum; and this, notwithstanding the fact that the Bible and Jesus teach that we must know God. On the other hand, the sciences have preâ€" cluded, and rightly so, mere belief upon this as upon every subject. Th:{ have recognized that knowledge of ulâ€" timate, or essential beinf. would necâ€"| essarily lead to the solution of all the problems which beset us, and thus to true salvation. They forgot, howâ€" ever, what really is well known to them, that, no matter to what minuteâ€" | ness they might reduce any mere‘ thinf or matter, irres%ective of how | farâ€"fetched the name by which they | (God), from the least of them unto the greatest of them"; and Jesus fl}:inly directed all to know God. Nor ve the Bible and Jesus left us withâ€" out the means; but their teachings of God‘s nature have been so simple that the erudite have either overlooked them or not looked upon them | as scholarly enough. They have looked for God in the farthest heifi:lts and in the lowest deeps; in everything but that in~which He is. With telescote and microscope have they sought Him but failed to find him. Why? Because to see God, as Jesus said, reâ€" quires purity: "The pure in heart . . shall see God." To know God whom Jesus declared to be Spirit, and who is infinite, requires one to strip one‘s self of all materiality,â€"to cease believing in a reality apart from God, and so to cease believing in the reality of matter. No one who has enshrined the reality of matter in his heart, his thoughts, knowledge, or afl’ectfonl, can know God; for such a one cannot as yet have reached the point at which he cherishes not, loves "not the world, neither the things that are in“the world," â€" matter and materâ€" iality. . 5 | kind learn of him who demonstrated e reality..
