Lecture Delivered at C. S, Church Edifice On January 24 Proven healings of supposedly incurable | physical . difficulties through the true knowledge of God and man were described at First Church of Christ, Scientist, Highâ€" land Fark, last Friday evening, Jan. 24, by Florence Middaugh, C. S.,a.member of the i Science Board of Lectureship, as pointing the way to remedy of the whole world‘s ills. One young student of Christian Science, while serving in the Unitâ€" ed States Navy during the conâ€" quest of Kiska, had the back of his hand cut so badly that the cords, of the three center finâ€" gers were severed, Miss Middaugh declared. : At thirty degrees beâ€" grees below zero, blood poisoning set in and doctors said they would not be responsible for his lifé unâ€" less the hand was amputated. the young man steadfastly held to the fact that the Christ, Truth, is ever present and that the law of God was operating right where he was, As a result, the hand was perâ€" fectly healed. The fingers can be used as freely as ever and there is no trace of stiffness. «It was the living Christ who came to his rescue," Miss Midâ€" daugh said. ~ "The doctors told him it was a miracle." . Such proofs of present â€" day Christian healing were cited as evâ€" idence that Christian Science, in its return to the original teachings of Christ Jesus, is "The Panacea for World Unrest," Miss Midâ€" daugh‘s theme. She based her lecture on the teachings of Mary Baker Eddy, Discoverer of Chrisâ€" tian Science. The lecturer, a resident of Laos Angeles, California, is an authorâ€" ized speaker on the board mainâ€" tained by The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Sciâ€" entist, in Boston Mass. "Christian Science is purely scienâ€" tific and eschews mere personal opinion," Miss Middaugh declared. "It is the panacea for world unâ€" rest because it offers each indiâ€" vidual definite, demonstrable proâ€" positions to be proved in individuâ€" al experience. : When you and I learn how to demonstrate these great truths, we have taken a long step out of mere belief in them, for we know by demonstration that they are true. Each one may Thursday, Jan. 30th, 1947 begin right where he is to pracâ€" tice Christian Science successfulâ€" ly. A “Onemyquufion)hawhe-un successfully raise his standard of living in the midst of a world sufâ€" fering from uncertainty and disâ€" tress. _ Jesus‘ disciples did it; so did Paul, who was not one of his personal disciples, Our thinking is our universe, and if we set up in our consciousness the standard of perfection demanded by Chrisâ€" tian Science we can, like the aposâ€" tles of old, eliminate false beliefs that interfere with spiritual unâ€" foldment. A "Shall we accept the beliefs of war, lack, limitation, and frustraâ€" tion, simply because mortal mind presents them as conditions over which we have no control? If one would rise above error, let him lift his thought to . divine Truth. Calm, steadfast reliance on the omnipotence, omniscience, hinders men from finding lasting happiness, but it misconstrues the very natare of God and man." One a mighty sense of assurance. Instead of fearful and uncertain attempts to escape consequences master them as falsities. ~**The one great talent we all have .â€" that of right thinking â€" is always present and ready for our immediate use.
