_ HEAR LECTURE ON tace Tm Christioes § We know that Christians " 220 _ .., mcunmmi/ury| worship carved images, but 1 VIOLET KER SEYMER, CS. Let us first of all look into the meaning of these two words, "Chrisâ€" tian" and Science." The words "Chrisâ€" tian" and "Christianity" stand for the religion founded in the first century, A.D. Christian Science is based on the inspired Word of the Bible, and stands squarely on the pure teaching and the allâ€"satisfying, redemptive, healing works of Christ Jesus, the Wayâ€"shower. â€" s ib Wianhiine io The word; "science" is defined, in part. by Webster 2s: "knowledge or faets. _Profound, comprehensive knowledge made available in work, life or the search for truth." 0 Ey Ao m eomnee ns n Christian Science is, therefore, the demonstrable knowledge of God, diâ€" vine Truth, brought to bear on the human problem of poverty, sin, sickâ€" ness, and discord of every name and nature. â€" . d In her work Introspection" .( tells us that she "Christian" "bec sionate, helpful, & tian Science is ! "Christian" "because it is compasâ€" sionate, helpful, and spiritual." Chrisâ€" tian Science is born of God, divine Love. It is. therefore, His revelation, divinely endowed with authority to reveal the true nature of God and spiritual man in His likeness, and with power to waken mankind out of its dream of sickness and sin, fear and sorrow: and through this spiritâ€" ual awakening bring about release and redemption from all that is conâ€" ual awakening and redemptio trary to God‘s You will naturally want to hear something about the Discoverer nnd' Founder of Christian Science. Since| her earliest childhood, Mary Baker | Fddy loved the. Bible and lived close | to God. good. Up to the time of her* discovery of Christian Science, she was frail, delicate. Mrs. Eddy was | highly â€" cultured and intellectually gifted, and she had a wide outlook on life. At about the age of fortyâ€" five, she met with an accident which the doctors pronounced fatal. In her extremity, _ this spirituallyâ€"minded woman begged the friends at her bedâ€" side to leave her alone with the Bible.

Awed by this miracle, and | imnelled by her deep love for God | and humanity, she then withdrew enâ€" tirely from society. ‘and. for three ‘years, alone with the Bible, in her modest home in the town of Lynn, Massachusetts. che studied and ponâ€" »dered the sreat facts of spititual beâ€" ing and snirtual law, to which alone i the marvel of the healing could be ; attributed. â€" Thus. in quietude and j spirtual communion with God, she{ discovered the Science of His perâ€" fect creation. and wrote the Christian | Science textbook, "Science and Health | with Key to the Scriptures." . { HP ropmarenals ooo ns ons For some years before nublishing this immortal work Mrs. Eddy proved the truth of its teachings by healing all kinds of sickness by spiritual means. _ _ _ > 0 \LL ENETITS: : â€"â€"Mrs. REddy then entered upon a h‘f(»l of almost unparalled spiritual and human activity. until, in the ycar‘ 1910, she passed on in her ninetieth vear. _ It is not too much to say that every waking hour of these fortyâ€"five years was snent in highest, humblest service to God and humanity.

Within these pages, every unbiased reader finds much to ponâ€" der, much to rejoice in, much to learn, and much that may cause him to revise his old concept of prayer. It is the mission of prayer to siâ€" lence fear, and spiritually attune the ear to the infinite harmony of God‘s creation, which is totally free from fear. sickness, sin, materiality, and mortality. As God is revealed, huâ€" manity is healed. I should like to quote you a few lines from a wellâ€"known hymn which indicates the different stages . of vraver (Christian Science Hymnal, p. 91): "Praver is the simplest form of Jacob‘s Ladder t \â€" Pragor might be likened to Jacob‘s ladder. of which we read in Genesis that it was "set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending‘ and descending on it." Note that this ladder was set upâ€" i on earth. which indicates ‘that, God,. | gnod. is not remote but everâ€"present, i end that heaven is not a distant place {'n be reached after death, but a diâ€" vine state of consciousness which is, | in everâ€"increasingâ€" measure, attainâ€" i sble here and now. â€" And what are the "angels" ascending and descending: this ladder of thought? Angels are {v'nt fancy, winged figures. On nage 581 of the Christian Science textbook {we find this simple and appealing definition of angels: "God‘s thoughts 1 passmg to man: spiritual intuitions, i‘ pure and perfect; the inspiration of | goodness. purity. and immortality, | counteracting all evil, sensuality, and : | mortality." â€" _ = _ speech, â€" .

Teachableness | Perhaps the very first rung in this | I~dder of praver is indicated in Job‘s humble desire: "That which I see not. teach thou me."_ This desire indiâ€" cates the teachable, humble, listening nttitude, whereby a mortal does not seck to gain God‘s ear for the purâ€" vose of pouring out his mortal woes, but seeks to incline his own ear in order that. through spiritual sense, he may catch the pure, healing, reasâ€" suring messages of Truth and Love. This willingness to learn more about God, and God‘s image. humbles intelâ€" lectual vanity, pride of opinion, pesâ€" simism. and leads up to the next rungs of hope, faith, expectancy of Tayer is the heart‘s sincere desire, Uttered or unexpressed; The Majesty on high 0 %v\'ou see that every true, spiritâ€" ial thought and desire entertained by cou is vour link with God, everâ€"presâ€" Mountaineers find that their range of view widens as theyleave the valâ€" ley; so true thoughts and right deâ€" sires grow stronger as they ascend nbove the valley of materialistic thought and aspire to the heights of spiritual perception. It may seem a long way to the top of the ladder of praver.â€"to the summit of spiritual understanding. â€" but Christian Sciâ€" ~nce teaches that from the start joy is added to joy, and that with every rung attained. conditions of health and character are improved. Another rung in this ladder of asâ€" rending thought is the ripening deâ€" sire to understand and*obey God‘s will rejoicingly, knowing it to bestow only holiness, health, and perfect purity. This resolve always to obey every call of God, good. leads to the mmnfm.nnvhiehwmed the angels, or thoughts, of courage, yenzvmm, and peace.
