Reference Past Sales SATISFACTION GUARANTEED Hon. William E. Brown C. S. B.f of Los Angeles, Calif., member of th Board of Lectureship of the Mother Church, the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass., delivered the following lecture at Crystal Lake, Sunday, April 9, 1933. ^The lecturer was introduced by Mrs. Sue Russell, who said in part: "Friends, the Christian Science society ^ of Crystal Lake welcomes you to this lecture on Christian Science. "The lecture today will present a clear sense of how Christian Science meets our human needs. I have the privilege of » introducing to you, a member of the Board of Lectureship, of the Mother Church, Hon William E; Brown, of Los Angeles, Calif." Perhaps }t .would be difficult to frame a more important or comprehensive message to mortals than that given by Paul when he wrote to the Corinthians, "For the things which a're seen are temporal-; but the things, which are not seen are eternal.'* From this it will be seen that, the highest possible: ettanjment is to; gain the ability to know*ths unseen thiijgs -of Spirit.. . • :•./ ' , " ~ ' Ringing, down the centuries comes the. question of Christ Jesus, the master Scientist, clearly indicating the cause of all human discord-- "Having eyes, see ye not?" Paralleling this fundamental question, there arises from those who in a measure comprehend the meaning of the Wayshower# the age-long cry, "Lord, that our eyes may be opened." In response to this cry, Christian Science comes to you showing how this age-long yearning may be answered in a practical manner. Permit me to call your attention for a few minutes to the title of this lecture,! "Christian Science: The Religion of Spiritual Vision." The term Christian Science will indicate to you that this religion is a practical religion, scientific in every aspect, based upon a demonstrable premise. It is not blind faith or superstition. Spiritual Vision . y Thie term "Spiritual Vision" is, of course, more or less explanatory and deals with the ability to perceive things as God knows them. Here someone may ask what the statement means, "As God knows them." This is an important question and its conideration will be helpful. Christian Science defines God as infinite Mind, an omnipresent intelligence in which all things exist. Since God is the only cause, an infinitely perfect cause, it is clear that all which He creates is perfect, forever expressing the divine qualities; or, as it is expressed in Genesis, "And God saw every thing that he made, and, behold it was very good." So here we have our answer, God beholds everything as "very good." Truly a vision of this kind is well worth striving for, is it not? Thus, we are to discuss tonight a truly scientific religion which exists for the ultimate purpose of providing spiritual perception to mankind, to the end that all rnay perceive the things described by Paul: "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered *»into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." The importance of gaining spiritual vision is stressed by Solomon, who declares^ "Where there Is no vision, the people perish." A careful study of th£" Bible- in thej light of Christian Science shows that a lack of spiritual vision is the cause of sin, sickness, and death; and that the only permanent and universal/ remedy for these evils is to acquire spiritual vision, and finally to instruct others how to gain this vision. It is doubtless occurring to some here for the first time, Why the need for spiritual vision, and what is to be visualized? The need is shown by the fact that all mortals desire health, happiness, and security, and it is evident that material vision has not! been able to confer these blessings upon mankind. So, we must look elsewhere. The Bible tells us over and over again that spiritual understanding is the open door to all that is good and desirable. The Bible also reminds us that the things of God are foolishness to the natural man and that they can only be spiritually discerned. Environment It is apparent to all who have given the matter sufficient consideration that what we term our environment or experience in life is a matter of consciousness; or in other words, one's environment is only the expression or external objectification of one's thinking, and consequently can ue changed only by a change in thinking. Paul summed up the entire matter by declaring that "to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace." Hine* in one's present environment th*r«* oe/ror the experiences termed *ir», ftvrerty unhappiness, disease, oH ***, *rA death, it is evident that their fjf, {*>/**.'! necessity or possibility trxi*U"l first in consciousness befw* tbey could S. H. Freund & Son CONTRACTORS AND BUILDERS Phone 127-R i McHenry Our experience is at Your Service in building Your Wants be expressed in environment or experience. This simple analysis immediately suggests the remedy; that is, permanently to expel these socalled activities from consciousness, to the end that they may be forever expelled from one's environment. The ability to expel discordant conditions from consciousness is one of the many blessings conferred upon mankind by Mrs. Eddy. Her clear and logical teaching that God, infinite Mind, is forever expressed in universal harmony immediately exposes the falsity of all opposing beliefs, and when their falsity is discerned they disappear from human experience. Of this process Mrs. Eddy writes (Science and Health, Pref. p. xi), "The physical healing of Christian Science results now) as in Jesus' time; from the operation of divin Principle, before which sin and disease lose their reality In human consciousness and disappear as naturally and, as necessarily as dark ness gives place to light and sin to reformation." ° Spiritual Understanding ~ What of the woman, Mrs. Eddy, who brought to this age the funda tnental necessity of gaining spiritual vision? From whom did she receive this ability; this impelling spiritual urge to seek the things of God, to the end that she might show them unto the creature? She was led step by step^ and proof by proof, to discover what she intuitively believed ,to be true. Of this she writes in her book "Retrospection and Introspection" (p. 24): "The discovery came to pass in this way. During twenty years prior to my discovery I had been trying to trace all physical effects to a mental cause; and in the latter pait of 1866 I gained the scientific certainty that all causation was Mind, and every effect a mental phenomenon." Her research, discovery, and demonstration were orderly, scientific, and convincing. She did not ask the world to accept Christian Science because she discovered it, but offered tl.e most convincing proof. Of this she writes in her book "Unity of Good" (p. 7) as follows: "When I have most clearly seen and most sensibly felt that the infinite recognizes no disease, this has not separated me from God, but has so bound me to Him as to enable 'me instantaneously to heal a cancer which had eaten its way to the jugular vein. VIn the same spiritual condition I have been able to replace dislocated joints and raise the dying to instantaneous health. People are now living who can bear witness to these ctires. Herein is my evidence, from on high, that the views here promulgated on this subject are correct." It is interesting and significant tc note that Mrs. Eddy's discovery of Christian Science in 1866 is now being substantiated' in considerable degree by leading physicists of today. . Divine Universe Before Mrs. Eddy gave the "world her discovery it was generally believed and taught by the schools that the universe was composed of mind and matter. This fallacious combination Mrs. Eddy showed to be impossible. Through revelation, she discovered that all is Mind and its infinite expression, and, like David of old,' went forth to meet the Goliath of materiality. It is gratifying indeed to realize that many of the leading thinkers , of the world are indirectly, though incompletely, endorsing Mrs. Eddy's discovery, as summed up in her wonderful "scientific statement of being" (Science and Health, p. 468), in which she declares, "All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all." In this connection, Sir James Jeans, in his book called "The Mysterious Universe," reaches the following conclusion: "If all this be so, then the universe can be best pictured, although still very imperfectly and inadequately, as consisting of purs thought, the creator of what, for want of a wider word, we must describe as a mathematical thinker." In other words, this eminent natural scientist declares that the universe is mental and governed by law, thus rejecting the idea of a world of chance- Mary Baker Eddy discerned the exact truth about God and the universe more than half a century ago when she declared that God is Mind, that God is divine Principle, and that the universe is the expression of Mind. Man In speaking of the blessings which flow to one who is sufficiently spiritual to receive this interpretation, the book of Job declares: "If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness: . . . His flesh shall be fresher than a child's; he shall return to his days of his youth." The fullness cf this wonderful promise can be gained only through Christian Science. The phrase "to shew unto man his uprightness" clearly establishes the great fact that man is upright now and that since thus is true, he has always been upright. This divine fact can only be discerned through spiritual vision, and it is the mission of Christian Science £o give us this interpretation. Before the advent of Christian Science, Mortals, buffeted by sin and disease through a few weary years, frequently looked upon death as a way of escape, but now, through the teaching of this Science, they are given the ability to master sin and disease," and to realize that death is not a friend, but an enemy. Do not b6 trapped into speculating about or contemplating the mortal mind activity called death and the supposititious planes of existence. • There is but one thing to do when this lying suggestion presents itself, and that is to know its . utter unreality. The Master said that those who kept his sayings should never see death; and Mrs. Eddy tells us that death cannot present itself to one who is ever conscious of Life. Our one object in life is to identify ourselves with divine Life. The reward for doing this is great and is eloquently summed up by Mrs. Eddy (Pulpit and Press, p. 4): "Reflect this Life, and with it cometh the full power of being." Christ Jesus Let U3 consider briefly the wonderful achievements of the man of Galilee--the man who gave the World a demonstrable understanding of the religion of spiritual vision. He understood the spiritual meaning of the Bible "I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before hrm." Reasoning from this Scriptural premise, he knew that, all which did not proceed from God must be unreal. As a correlative of this, Mrs. Eddy wrote (Science and Health, p. 207): "There is but one primal cause. Therefore there can be no effect from any other cause, and there can be no reality in aught which does not proceed from this great and only cause." Revelation N The ability to see the universe as God sees it is the ultimate goal of Christianity, This ability is not dependent upon intellect nor a wealth of empirical knowledge, but sound morals are an absolute necessity; in other words, only the pure in heart can see. God. In stressing these points, do you not see what a great moral force Christian Science is? Do you not see how its method of salvation--the gaining of spiritual vision--begins immediately to improve all conditions? Do you not see that Christian Science is encouraging and helping individuals, and is bringing to the world real, permanent salvation? Once convince an individual through proof, that spiritual thinking confers upon him improved morals, health, and prosperity and you have created an important factor in the work of redeeming the world, a factor which immediately begins to shape his life activity in accordance with the Sermon on the Mount and to cause him to put into practical operation the Golden Rule. Such a one is as much interested in giving as he is in receiving, and thus he encourages others to acquire spiritual vision, the only rtal remedy for the woes of mortality. , In this brief discourse I have attempted to impress upon you that the way of salvation from all material discords is to gain spiritual vision. I have pointed out the yray to secure this. If you faithfully put into practice the teachings of Christian Science, gradually this vision will be yours. If your progress seems slow and unsatisfactory, do not become slothful nor discouraged. Let us recall the comforting words of Habakkuk: "For the vision is yet for an appointed time, Out at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tary, wait for it; because it will surely come." CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES "Are Sin, Disease, and Death Real V" was the subject of the Lesson- Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, April 9. The Golden Text was, "Bless the Lord,\ O my soul, and forget not all his ItenefltM: who forgiveth all thine Iniquities; who healetb all thy diseases" (I'salins 103:2, 3). Among the citations which comprised the lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: "Now therefore hearken. O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the jndgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and pottxefts the land which the Lord God Of your fathers Rivetb you. Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, thnt he might instruct thee: ... Know therefore this day, and consider It in thine heart, that the Ijord he is (iod in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else" (Deut. 4:1, 36, 39). The Lesson-Sermon also included the following passages from the Christian Science Textbook, "Science and; Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy: "Christian Science reveals God, not as the author of sin, sickness, and death, but as divine Principle, Supreme Being, Mind, exempt from all evil" (p. 127). ; ISLOCtfM'S LAKE I ^ Sff; and Mrs. A.
