4 January 16, 1926 WINNETKA "TALK 15 GIVES LECTURE HERE ON CHRISTIAN SCIENCE Prof. Hermann S. Hering Tells of Discovery Made by Founder Mary Baker Eddy Editor's note--The accompanying is an extract from a lecture on Chris- tian Science entitled "Christian Science and the World's Redemption," given before the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Winnetka yesterday by Prof. Hermann 8S. Hering, member of the Board of Lectureship of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. Probably no religious subject in mod- ern times has ever become so widely known and attracted so much atten- tion in so many quarters of the globe, as has Christian Science. It is a sub- ject of interest not only among English- speaking people the world over, but also among the people of virtually all civilized nationalties. There is scarcely a country on earth where its literature is not read. Translations of various articles have been printed in ten or more languages. Christian Science was discovered by Mary Baker Eddy in the year 1866. The discovery came about in this wise: Mrs. Eddy, as a child, had been taught by her mother that God could and would heal the sick. She learned to believe implicitly in the Bible teach- ings and in the supremacy of spiritual power, and she never lost this convic- tion. She carefully investigated many curative systems and looked into any- thing that promised to explain how the so-called miracles of the Bible were performed, 'but she found nothing to satisfy her search. Finally after an accident which her physician declared would be fatal, she opened her Bible and read the second verse of the ninth chapter of Matthew. While doing so, she realized clearly that the healing which was done in Jesus' time could be repeated now. Her thought rested absolutely on God: and was lifted above the physical condi- tions to a hich spiritual plane. In this mental condition she was instantly healed, and was able to leave her hed and walk. She was greatly impressed by her healing and by the spiritual exaltation which she experienced at that time. | She felt that she must find out how this healing was accomplished for she knew that it was wholly spiritual and totally unlike the results of any healing system which she had ever before | INTHE PUBLICEYE BY £5.

She there- fore withdrew from society after this experience, and for three years studied the Bible, seeking an understanding of Jesus' works. As a result of this search she gradually received the revel- ation of the Principle of scientific Christian healing, which she calls "the great curative Principle--Deity" (Ret- rospection and Introspection, p. 25) and which she describes as infinite, divine Mind. In 1875 she published her epoch- making textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,"--a truly marvelous achievement. She was al- ways a very close student of this book, pondered it daily, and made fre- quent alterations and revisions for the purpose of improving her presentation of the subject. The fundamentals of her revelation, however, have always remained the same. all other earthly misery is an essential part of the world's redemption, and (Continued on page 29) a HUDSON-ESSEX 911 LINDEN AVE.

For years the medical profession warned against the unsanitary fashion of long skirts dragging on the street. Fortunately, or unfortunately, the profession has no complaint to make on that score today; but, that long dragging skirts were very unsanitary, and the indirect means of spreading disease, was universally recognized.
