LL“, - 20 VITAPHONE ( THE PRESS Although Mrs. Eddy, at the time of her discover/of Christian Science, was what the _world calls middle aged, she was able to give more than forty years of active service to the foundation and promotion of her dis- covery. Her undisputed ability and effieieney as- a really great leader have been recognized and fittingly acknowled ed by many editprg and men of again, outside the Christian Science movement. That she is held in the highest and tenderest esteem by the great host of Christian Sei- entists is plainly evidenced in the oral testimonials on_-Wedneaday eve- nings in Christian Science Churches girdling the globe, and by written testimonials constantly appearing in the' Christian Science periodicals. The Text Book' For the purpose of enabling the Bible student to understand its .ppir- itual import-and 'tsimulcast, and to elucidate the practical operation of" Christian Science. Mrs. Eddy wrote the Christian Science Text Book "Seienee and .Health with Key to the Scriptures." - - . Ai first the book evoked a storm of criticism from medical. relitriotis She then applied herself to a study of-the Bible that she might know the scientific basis of her. healing. As she studied, the Scriptures were " lumiried, and she saw and understood how healing depends upon a knowl- edge. of God, as is evidenced in one of Jesus' most comprehensive prom- ises, "This is life eternal that they might know Thee the only true God. and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent." She saw that all of Jesus' heelinrs came through his reliance 'dr,',' God. She saw that Jesus claim- e no exclusive right to do snirimal healing but that the same healing power could be exercised by all who believed on him--that is, understood the Christ. Thus was she led uner- rirurly to the discovery that this sei- entifie healing is in aeeorWwith " vine law. Therefore, its practice is not limited, but is available for every earneiseeker after God who ad.. heres to the plan outlined in Chris. tian Science: _ To turn to' the Bible for help was her last hope after a long and fruit.. less search for health amonirmtater- ial remedies. Turning to' God as she' did with hdpe and faith she. quickly saw the healing power manifested in restored health.. .

'.One of the first impressions that comes to the beginner in Christian Science it one of satisfaction on find- ing a religious teaching that is exact --that is really seientifie and in ac- cord. with _ law. Following is a synopsis of the lec- ture given Friday evening in the Ra- vinia Village House by Judge Samuel W; Greene, C.S.B. of Chicago, mem- ber' of the Board of Lectureship of the Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in, Boston, Mass.

"God is, a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." This certainly _implies. that we must know God ---- ‘must apprehend Him-understand Him--ih spirit and in truth. The av- erage person, when he stops to con- sider. will generally agree that he can know God only through spiritual apprehension or understandin-dr: does not expect to see God with the human eve or touch Him ‘with the hand. Then man, in His image and likeness, must as certainly be appro- hended or understood spiritu lly. 'Nn more than God can be (','d'il'r1gi%/)(. eeived. can the,rnan of God’s creation be so perceived. It is true that gm have been accustomed to. think more commonly of man as material, but for a proper concept of God's crew- tion, We are compelled to overcome thirtheory; and rise to an under- standing-of tnan's being image tr' idea of-God-of Spirit. The reality of an idea is not a difficult" concept even to our material thinking. . . Healing . . This spiritual concept of God and of man, positively applied in one": thinking, leads to healing. There i~' no mystery about it. nothing to alarm or antagonize. It is to concede that this is now God's world, that man, Irr Christian Science, God is under- stood to be infinite Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, Love. _The concept. of ch~ as Principle, enables us to realize His presence and power as ever available. It does not locate God in a'Heaven for re- moved from earth and human exper- ience, but gives us the sweet assur- ance that at all times and under all circumstances‘He is present and His omnipotence available for the solu- ticn of our every problem. It is in effect the adoption of the first Com- mandment in its full meaning. It isp refusgl to concede power to an- .other than God, _thus allowing no other' gods before Him. V The first consideration in the.study and practice of Christian Science/ and that updn which the whole theory is founded, is a correct 'spirit- ual understanding of God. By spirit- ual understanding is meant that con- cept of Him which removes consid- eration of the subject absolutely out of the material realm of thought. A correct concept of God can never be had from the basis of matter; and until one's thought of God is sepa- rated and distinguished from a ina, terial concept, his religious expe."- ience can never be wholely satisfac- tory. fl _ _ ', ' " faithful men and women iiiirith' it, some under the Author's tutelage, others independently, and began to apply its teachings, the healing of sin, disease, and other human prob- lems resulted. Today spiritual heal- ing, as practiced in Christian Science, is generally recognized as possible and of common occurrence. Indeed some medical men are sending the tio-called incurables;to Christian Sci- ence, and many preachers are adva- eating a study of the methods. of tspiritual-healing. The Christian Sei.. ence Text Book is now well known in most libraries of any importance. It has been the agency through which great numbers of invalids and unfur- tunat‘es have found health, happiness and comfort. A study of this book unfolds to humanity the spiritual interpretation of the Bible; thus justifying that por- tion of the title "Key to the Serip.. tures." and. 1.tietitit . !Putfff, Put mquqlly Thursday, August 15, 19 1929 more genuine t most hotrtreho' acquaintance. roads and pat] about the hot not ks and cram my light mum ine along the rocks and hurr HINT: t cthe rescue lvft with us a sion of .its um How" many flashlisrht.to _ Inn‘s formed I But fhe Nit, longing to' the We have ‘jus tron -spent at home on the s wlhtre electric Christian f understood, 01 foundation " seeker after. peace' and " cry of the Pt and be ye sa, earth; "for I mm else" '3 compassionate “Come unto m as thyself'; _ C h r i s t in n wrong in soei, tical, and reli, the sexes, am and leaves not fer, be punis] and H. 340:23 .
