WILMETTE LIFE January 18, 1929 ~GIVESLECTUREON I ~ I'Ji I I I ~ Ei l ~ I I'Ji ~ ~ Does Yoa· P·opei'ty Need Aay Rep a l· s! · ~ ~ ~ ~ thought implile~ and necessttates a CHRJSTJAN SCIENCE is thinker." Physical sci~nce, thereforr., gradually approachtn~ the stand- 1~~~~~~~ha thought rather than a tht~g, and point of Christian Science: namely, that all is Mind, an~ ~hat Mind alan~ create3 govern~ ongmates; that all cause i~ mental and therefore effect is . bl M. d th t mental, and .amen~ e }O m ;, :1 the universe 1tself JS a thought rather than a thing." Let us see where this wi11 lead us and what it will bestow upon us. It leads us to dis~over wherein lies the mastery of ctrcumstances and conditions. It bestows on us the power to heal and prevent disease. It frees u3 from the limitations with which the belief in matter and rnaterial thinking has bound us, and from which we have not known how to p h · · h' h 1 1 escape. er aps It IS t IS e P essness, this inability of mankind to overcome or avoid calamity, that makes it3 heaviest burden. There is no one so happy that he would not like to be able to protect and .- so ensure that happiness. Now this helplessness i·3 due to the belief that man is matter, that his troubles are material, and that he has no control over them. Once take the position that all 1s Mind. that the :miverse and an it includes i·.; the product of Mind, and immediately the remedy appears. For if a thought is the cau~e of the trouble, then a change of thought can alter it. If a thought causes this or that condition, then an onposite thought will change the condition. Now we have all been given the power to think, and · we all already believe that we can · or should control our thoughts. Therefore, if everything is in the first in3tance a thing- of thought~, and we ~an all think, how much control should we have. how much dominion over this earth? And what is the nature of this dominion? It is evident, reasoning from this standpoint, that Mincl controls and governs a!l, and man, the outcome of Mind, pos·3esses this dominion. Remember the gift of dominIon was recorded many thousands of years ago in a book we have most o£ us been taught to revere. Let me read vou this verse from the first chapter of Genesis. 41 And God said. Let U5 maKe man 111 our image, after our likeness: and let tl~em have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." Did it ever occur ~o you that these are not mere words, but practical, provable truth? I remember reading that when I first began the study of Christian Science, and as I read, the general concept of man fla·3hed before me: man at the mercy of chance of circumstance, of disease, of loss; ~an happy todar, and crushed tomorrow· pitifully weak, and unable to protect hi~self. Then I turned to this book, Sctence and Health, which I had been told was a Key to the Scriptures, and there I read (p. 517): "Man is not ~ade ~o. till the so!L His birthright IS domm1on, not subjection. He is lord of the belief in earth and heaven himself subordinate alone to his Maker." I read on until I began to see how it was possible to prove this dominion to be true, now. I could never tell you what a flood of light and liberty filled my heart as I read-what possibilities opened out to me-what a promise Christian Science ·set before me. And it has kept its promise! My friends what is true for one is true for au' and we can all -begin now to prove' gr.a~uallr, and step by step, this ·dommaon m our experience. We must gain it first in our thinking and then nec~S'saritr in our exp,erien~e. for experaence 1~ the fruit of thinking. ~ ~ 1'11 ~ 1'11 All ~ ~ J'll ~ ~ 1'11 .. · W ~ in the First Church of Christ, Scientist, ~ in ·w nmette, Sunday af~ernoon, J::~;nFireplaces a Specialty~~ uary 13 The lecture, gJven by MISS ~ Lucia c~ Coulson of London, England, bore the title "Christian Science: The Porches and walks, Plaster Repairs ~ Union of .Rea;on and Revelation." ~ Stone and Brick Chimneys ~ The following interesting statement ~ was made a short time ago by Profesgrades of Stone, Brick and Cement work ::s=or==J,=A==.=F=le=m=it=1g==o=f=th=e=U=n=iv=e=rs=it=y=o:;f 1'11 ~ GREATER CHICAGO ~ LAKE WATER COMPANY ~ fr~~i~~·:ct~~~e ~nF~~~~tra~ 1~ci~~c:x;r~~~ - ~ 1'1 S B 0 R T R JD G E 1'11 ~ ~.. 419 R' h d R d K ·1 th tc mon oa ' ent wor Ph K '1 2735 · em · ~ 11i2 Bankers' Bldg., Chicago Filtered Lake Water for Chtcago'a Suburbs Watch for Announcement Tel.
