SYNOPSIS OF LECTURE ON CHRISTIAN SCIENCE Given Monday Evening at Elm Place Auditorium. Charles V. Winn, C. S. Speaker Thursday, December 11, 1930 Following is a synopsis of the leeâ€" ture on Christian Science given by Charles V. Winn, C.S., of Pasadena, Calif., a member of léectureship of the Mother Church, First Church of Christ, Scientist, in. Boston, Mass., Monday evening, Dec. 9. The lecture which was attended by a large audiâ€" ence was given at the Elm Place school. ‘The speaker was introduced by. Mrs. Byron C. Howes, The lecâ€" ture follows: * A subject that is engaging the most earnest thought and attention of men toâ€"day is that of reality. So rapid have been the changes in the affairs of mortals that former the ories about reality have been overâ€" turned with startling suddenness. In the light of modern discoveries many theories about.what is true and real are no longer tenable. When one can send a message from Schenectady, New York, to Australia and back, a distance of about twenty thousand miles, in a few seconds, then the theâ€" ory of a material universe separated by time and space is seen as an abâ€" surdity. With former beliefs concernâ€" ing reality being thus overthrown, it is small wonder that the world is in a constant state of flux and change. However, it is not a time of despair but of great hopefulness, for in the midst of all the turmoil and confusion Christian Science has come to the world to satisfy the deepest human meed and to reveal an understanding of divine reality that will plant our feet firmly on the rock of eternal and unchanging Truth. Nothing less can ever suffice, for Truth alone is real, and reality is always true. Since that alone possesses realit{' which reflects God, then a true knowlâ€" edge of God is essential in order to understand that which is real. At this point it may be stated. that Christian Science is founded entirely on ‘the Scriptures. â€" Mrs. Eddy deâ€" clared, as shown ‘in "Miscellaneous Writings" (p. 169), that within Bible vages she had found all the divine Science she preached. â€"And so in deâ€" fining Deity she adheres strictly to Scriptursl definitions. Of. Him she says, "God is what the Scriptures deâ€" clare Him to beâ€"Life, Truth, Love" (Science and Health, p. 330). Here is a definition of Deity which may well engage our most earnest thought and which will s enlighten us as to the eternal verities of being that untold blessings will follow. + God in the very nature of His being must be infinite. That God could be limited in any way is unthinkable. God being infinite and Life, there must be one infinite Life. All forms of life must proceed from and be the exâ€" pression of this one infinite Life. All creation must have its being in and be sustained by this one creative Life. This infinite Life must be "our Fatherâ€" Mother God, allâ€"harmonious" (Sciâ€" ence and Health, p. 16), and must be perfect and eternal.. It must be everyvwhere manifesting its lifeâ€"giving qualities and upholding in perfect harmony all its ideas, or creation. If there were an element of friction or discord in Life, then Life would evenâ€" tually be selfâ€"destroyed. Everything that truly exists must express this one infinite Life, which a‘ways maniâ€" fests itself in vitality, strength, health, vigor, and perfect action. NATURE OF GOD _ Mrs. L. F.
