Â¥1 Et § 8 Now this friend of mankind, this spiritual understanding of God and man, Mrs. Eddy has brought to us in her remarkable book, "Science and f}ellth with Key to the Scripâ€" tures." What a unique title is thisâ€" one which links both science and health to the Bible! Many are surâ€" prised when they heard the &Announceâ€" ment at the Cfiristian Science Sunâ€" day services that "The Bible and the Christian Science textbook are our only preachers." (Quarterly, p. 4). No pergonal preaching! they exclaim. Why should one go to church just to hear reading?" And then, littlerlx little, the wonder of this new church organization dawns upon one, and more‘:g.nn ever he sees in Mrs. Eddy‘s |work the imprint of divine‘ leading.. Instead of one ‘personal minister, (le‘very mgnln,ll)erl of the eoblel- gregation has, in Bible language, beâ€" come a“:rriest unto God,'gn:nd has been studying and working on the sermon during the week. For one of the first tasks and most joyous priv-‘ ileges of the student of Christian Science is to give daily attention to the Lesgonâ€"Sermons in the Christian Science Quarterly composed of Bible texts "and their correlative passâ€" ages from the Christian Science textâ€" book." (Quarterly, p. 4). This natâ€" | urally imvolves mental activity, and consequently some mortals are not attmdflt at first to this form of serâ€" vice. The attitude of many church goers is‘ reflected in a quaint story of the famous Robert Southey. He tells of the minister who met on the Sabbath a very hardâ€"working man, a member of his congregation, and said to him, "I suppose Sunday is a blessâ€" ed day of rest for you?" "Aye," reâ€" plied the other, "it is that! {comes to church, sits me down, la'ys my | legs up, and thinks o0‘ nothing!" l Why ) Scientists Go to Church Now it may as well be stated here, and positively, that the Church of Christ, Scientist, is no place for the a good spell, or to use the old Engâ€" lish expression, the gospelâ€"the good news of the kingdom of God, which has brought healing and comfort and strength to us all these years. Coming of Another Friend Aftér witnessing this remarkable healing, I accepted gladly a cop&oof the Christian _ Science _ textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. I was eager to know how this healing work {was accomplished. I had not read more than two pages when I had to close the book amf wipe from my eyes the tears of gratitude that had welled up. Here, truly, was that friend, that blessinf. for whichâ€" perhaps unconsfious yâ€"I had been longing all my lifeâ€"an understandâ€" ing of God, logical, simple, and provâ€" nb%e. | And right here another re-l markable thing happened: all antagâ€" onism | to Mrs. EdJ;'e'vanished. Anâ€" other friend had appeared! Gone was the semseless and baseless opposition, gone the ridicule of a movement founded by a woman! In fact, it seemâ€" ed quite natural that this new friend should, have been. introduced ‘by gracâ€" ious womanhood. When one reads Mrs. Eddy‘s life by Sibyl Wilbur, and learns of the struggles and hardâ€" ships and heartaches, as well as the glorious overcomings that attended the infant steps of the Christian Sciâ€" ence movement, one readily sees why the discoverer of this Science had to be a woman. She must needs possess the instincts of the mother who clings to her child when all others forsake it; she must be imbued with the faith and fortitude and patience which are the inkerent possessions of the spirâ€" itually: minded woman! No Personal Preaching to the jconversation of my elders, that the/elect, the really best people of earth, were, like ourselyves, homeoâ€" paths, hpiscopalians and hepubli- cans. So it was not until many years had passged, and the burden of sufâ€" fering had lain héavily upon a dear one that we sought the aid of this friend, and in one week‘s treatment in Christian Science the improvement was truly miraculous. From my earâ€" liest récollection, the sufferer in question had been a semiâ€"invalid, subject to vicious attacks of stomach and intestinal trouble. Imagine my surprise on joining the fami?y circle after an absence of a week, to see this erstwhile dyspeptic partake of a meal ‘that in the past would have involved the speedy summoning of the physician. I looked on in afiu‘m. and finally whispered to the one next to me :hat our invalid was evidently not himself mentally and should be stopped. She cautioned me to say nothing about it; that such scenes had been enacted at each meal for the past week and without harmful results; that he was having Christian Science treatment, and that we should do nothing to break the spell! A "spell" this truly proved to be; It is my happy privilege to tell you of a friend that has been in your midst for some time. I refer to tht Chrisâ€" tian Sci:nee movement. Some of you may not have recognized this“ friend ; in fact, you may even have| fancied it an @nemy, or something to be avoided.| But the fact remains that the best| friend, the most comforting message| mankind has had since the days of the early Christians, has apâ€" pear:d in your time and mine, and is known as Christian Science. ‘Personal Experience In our| family, we were dimly aware of the presence of this friend in our community; in fact, we saw in the town an unquestioned "case of healâ€" ing, yet our eminent ecclegiastical respectability hardly warranted more than a passing notice of this newâ€" comer in religions circles.

Could one reply to the ray, he would say, without doubt, "Why, you are not intended ‘"The Reflecting Business" * Let us supfpose that one of the sun‘s rays was gifted with s;;eech, and one day delivered itself as follows: "There are grave problems oonfronti::g me and I do not know how they will be o ut en e o ts s e e t‘e is. The first chapter of Genesis setâ€" tles this question speedily when it states that "God created man in His own image; in the image ofâ€"God creâ€" ated He him." Man‘s work therefore is to image forth or reflect God, to express or reflect intelligence, law and Love. One of the redâ€"letter moâ€" ments in my human experience was on that happy day when this great friend of mankind, this Science of Christianity, brought to me the conâ€" viction that man was necessary to God. At first such a thought seemed almost blasphemous, especially to one whose religious training had always reminded him what a miserable sinâ€" ner he was. But Mrs. Eddy‘s writings taught me that as the sun‘s rays are essential if light is to be expressed j number is necessary if one woulci know the principle of arithmetic, so‘ the divine Mind must be known and] expressed through His idea, man. > th | _The moment one begins the study of the opening chapter of ‘the textâ€" book, it becomes apparent that ‘his | thought of prayer must be lutionâ€" ized and this involves a m%ewâ€" luticnizing of his concept of x To | whom or what are we praying? To a God who is only a magnified human being, who needs to be argued with, pleaded with and reminded of His duty towards His creation? Have not the prayers of mortals these many centuries arisen‘ to an unthinkable God? So right on the very first pages of Science and Health, Mrs. Eddy challenges the religious thought of the world on the subject of .bprayer. Hear this r:markable and yet intenseâ€" ly sensible utterance: "Who would stand before a blackboard and pray the principle of mathematics, to solve the problem? The rule is already esâ€" tablished, and it is cur task to work out the solution. Shall we ask the diâ€" lvine Principle of all goodness to do His own work? His work is done, and we have only to avail ourselves of God‘s rule in order to regeive His blessing, which enables us to work out our own salvation." (Science and Health, p. 3). Healing of False Appetite Let us here consider a few examples of the solving of problems of sin, sickâ€" ness, and other discordant conditions through the righteous prayer â€" of Christian Science. A man who was sadly victimized by the tobacco habit, sought out a Christian Science pracâ€" titioner. He announced that he "conâ€" fined" himself to one hundred cigarâ€" ettes a day but was fast becoming a mental and physical wreck. He admitâ€" ted he felt that he must smoke every waking hour, and even arose once or ’twice in the night to gratify his cravâ€" _ing for the weed. He told the practiâ€" tioner frankly, however, that if Chrisâ€" tian Science taught merely the use of the human will, he would not. waste a moment with its treatment, for his power of resistance had completely gone. The practitioner explained that Christian Science treatment relies upon Godâ€"power and not human willâ€" power. The man then asked for treatâ€" ment. The practitioner gave him Science and Health to read, whilst he closed his eyes in silent prayer. To use the words of our textbook, "in the quiet sanctuary of earnest longâ€" ing" he began to "deny sin and plead God‘s allness." (Science and Health, page 15). He realized that man, the HeWibssueoc dE ce qed In fact, among other reasons;/one should attend Christian Science servâ€" man or woman who refuses to think. ices to think and to give. What can the. phrase "divine servic?" mean, but to ponder the deep ‘things "of God, to drink in the lritlul,tmth‘ of being, ‘and thrqg prayer . or. righteous thinking serve and hul_.-thel brotherâ€"man? â€" Such services become glorious opport_nnitaep &- 1 l&)ififlufl broadcasting, and uÂ¥gate is that community wherein a body of ri htf{‘ thinking Christians gathers 'ucli-gwm. # day and Wednssday to radiocast into human consciousness the tho\u'lflifi‘l God which will heal and bless j save! So every member of the conâ€" gregation feels the importance of his work, and the necessity of his lb&l‘-‘ ing in the reflecting, the spiritual broadcasting of the healing truths of the Lessonâ€"Ssrmons at the Sunday services. He fells the importance of "tuning in". on the great wireless wave of thanksgiving that sweeps through human consciousness as ,tge result of the midâ€"week testimony meetings. Rsxolutionizing Thought of Prayer Business" * one of the sun‘s speech, and one '{?)llowa: "There confronting me Man‘s Bank Account of Good What a beautiful invitation to the sons of menâ€"to enter into the joy of divine Love! There are no barâ€" riers, no locked doors. Exnter into the joy of the Lord! Go right into this spiritual consciousness and claim the {gy that is yours as the child of the Highest! A great bank account of good awaits your draft. But if one has miillions in a bank, doés the money come to him without a deâ€" mand? No, he must write out and sign a check which says, “Pa{ to the order of.", It is such a lawful, rightâ€" eous demand that it does not even say "Please!" Let us learn to make larger demands on this great treasure of good, and joy, and fre€dom. Claim it, thank God it is ours! This is the prayer, the ~communion, â€" through which we enter heaven, harmony, and taste of salvation ‘here and now. sibly flnttn'nf brother at your side. This is the love, the teamâ€"work that. is destined to solve the great ecoâ€" nomic problems of the d‘fl And the rule is, that if we are faithful over a few things we shall be made rulers over many. Then may we â€"hear the "Well done, good and faithful serâ€" cant, . . . enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." ‘ Teamâ€"Work to Solve World‘s Problems N What if the work in which you find yourself seems humdrum, wearisome, and unimportant? Stop listening to your own instrument. Lift your gaze to the great Leader, the divine Mind. Play for Him, and the brother beside you. Put your heart into it, and joy into it! If your work is making beds, make the very best beds of which you are cgmble. If you must go to a dingy office day after day, play a better tune to h‘etp the feeble and posâ€" ’ both on the part of emgloyer and emâ€" ployee, when these problems have all been taken to the great Head of the firm in earnest, understanding prayer. Such prayer declares. with conviction that there is in truth onl( one Mind, ‘and that all of God‘s children reflect this Mind, and all therefore are brethâ€" ren. How can divisions, and greed, and misunderstandings continue, in the presence of such a wave of healâ€" ing, Christian love? 4 World Nearer Goal of Fellowship Many may tell ‘you pessimistically that the sacrifices of men and nations in the great war have been for naught. Let us refuse to believe it! The gloâ€" ricus lessons of selfiess service, and man‘s dependence u_gon his brother, can never be lost! The whole world is the better for them, and nearer the great goal of universal fellowshi?.

It‘qgas its gart, and an important part therein; ut it is the collective contribution of all the players that goes to make the one great harmony.

Again I state that this is not the vain imagâ€" ining of impractical philosophers, but truth which has been demonstrated again and again.
