Progressive inventions are all helpful and encouraging, but, viewed from the standpoint of comparative values, have all the discoveries of the ages in the realm of matter brought to light any information, fact, or law that will bring comfort and real healing to the sick and suffering; that will make the crooked straight and the rough places plain; that will A lecturé on Christian Science enâ€" titled "Christian Science; The Law of Love Revealed and Demonstrated" was given last FTuesday evening at the Elm Place Auditorium. . The lecturer was Richard Davis, C.S. of Chicago, a member of the Board of Lectureship of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, of Boston, Mass. 5 The lecture was sponsored by the First Church of Christ, Scientist, of Highland Park. A report follows: In the book of Isaiah the prophet has written, "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath appointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent them that mourn in Zion, to give | beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for| mourning, the garment of praise for’ the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righte(ms-! ness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified." This beautiâ€", ful and comforting statement deâ€"| clares the promise and officeâ€" of| Christian Science. It expresses the love which prompts these lectures It explains why I am here, and it voices the joy we take in speaking of bur religion to those who do not know it or who have not yet experâ€" ienced its blessings. h heal sick hearts?

Reviewing|‘ the situation for a moment, we see that practically all the research and the study of centuries has centered| | wholly in matter and in material. thinking. In view oT this, and cet-T‘ tainly in view of the resulta,sâ€"-thqtl' the race still has far to go morally,| that disease has by no means been | eradicated, and the poverty and fiâ€"| nancial distress are still much in eviâ€" ) dence,â€"one may naturally inquire,|| If all these centuries of study in the| realm of matter have failed. to bring | | humanity health, happiness, and) heaven, why not make a right about. face and direct all our thought, efâ€"| fort, and investigation toward the realm of: Spirit, toward the underâ€"| standing of spiritual law? K ' DIVINE PRINCIPLE AS GOD. _ | Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder: of Christian Science,| did turn from matter, and with that| compassionate impulse expressed in the verse which I have just quoted from Isaiah, earnestly sought the remedy for human ills in the realm of Spirit. Her search resulted in the discovery of what she termed Chrisâ€" tian Scionce,â€"the Science of Truth, â€"the demonstrable understanding of God and His Christ. She proclaimed that the divine Principle of the uniâ€" verse is Love; that God, the cause and creator of all being is Loveâ€" universal, allâ€"inclusive, and omniâ€" potent. It is of. this law, the law of PAGE SIX me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; . .‘. to appoint unto There are those who, at this point,|â€" may reasonably be questioning: How do we know that God is Love? What do we mean by love and can we conâ€" ceive of a principle as love? When:! John declared that God is Love he was certainly not expressing a mere metaphysical abstraction, nor was he endeavoring to formulate a concept of Deity based on sentiment or emoâ€" tion. He was stating a spiritual fact. Even from a human standpoint, as| we view the Fniverse, the wonders‘ of earth and 'ky, we are. obliged toi concede a certain evidence of law| and order, it is encouraging that ; in the last fey months two eminent{ physical scientists, Sir James Jems. of Cambridge University, England, and Professor Arthur Compton of; the University of Chicago, have deâ€" clared that their investigations are leading inevitably to the conclusion that the universe is the result nndl expression of orderly thought. Pope said many years ago that "Order is heaven‘s first law," and there is plenty of evidence, if we look for it today, that a divine Principle or law governs the entire universe in uninâ€" terrupted harmony. The presence of an evil force in creation, or the premise that Principle, or God, is both good and évil would inevitably. ultimate in the selfâ€"destruction .of miprnine Tore tw ineligent Aove a ~l t Love, the understanding of which she grasped and then made pracâ€" tically applicable in human affairs, that I shall speak tonight. > law of Love is not material, not physgical, not tangible to the senses. It wholly spiritual and mental, and though not discernible to human e we know that it exists. The | soâ€" led law of gravitation remains In , but we see its effect.â€" The rules and laws of mathematics are ‘this moment | operating in perfect | harmony everywhereâ€"in the Uni ; States, in Siberia, in Java, in t ends of <the earth. How much mo | truly, then, may we say that the la‘ | of Love is active and operative, he and |everywhere, right now. Man is [ not ¢alled upon to enforce the law of | Lové, for it is its own #nforcement; ‘but he does become ?ons_oious of it: ‘exis nee and experience the revela [tion in his own consciousness, of i | action. j | Angloâ€"Saxon term for God is & A&if the sublime cause or law of c be good, then must it not wit eart mos son be the len pel be e right, perfect, orderly, allâ€" , capable of producing only| a beneficent result? Rightness, or righteousness, expresses the very na of divinity. The attributes of an altogether righteous Principle or law |must inevitably be mercy, jusâ€" tice, wisdom, and exactness,. Love in Chrigtian nStiencé is neither sweet nor bitter, neither hard nor soft, but is t, just, and fair. These qualâ€" ities are as truly loving as gentleâ€" ness, tenderness, and other char?c- there is no one who will not a lengith respond to its gentle and com pelling influence. The atheist wil tell that there is no God, but h will| not deny that something impels him} to be kind to his neighbor an to lpve his own child. He may not have analyzed this impulse, b whether he realizes it or not, he exptessing what we in Christian Sci4 encé understand to be the law, of Love, the divine Principle of all ex: istehce, We ‘ recognize, therefore, that) Love exists as thought, as Min P and| that the law of Love is con: sciopuisly brought into action by rig ing. Today we see some fair manifestation of Love in man manifestation of Love in man re ; yet think what a world peate and harmony there might be if all about us we saw only the dente of divine Love‘s impulsion! | exe are, no doubt, here tonig! people who have experienced muc trowble, unhappiness, loss, and pai in their lives, and possibly â€"some ong of. hemcrzsy say:.‘"How can I love io B ! who sends. sorrow and # ng? How can God be Lové, when I have had so much unhapp ness" God does not appear very lovâ€" able to me." May it not be possible we‘lare unconsciously holding God responsible for a difficulty which lies with ourselves? Suppose one of us w to break a traffic or sped la with our car, and were to be arâ€" rested, fined, and punished. Could we |very logcially blame our trouble on |the law or on the judge who fined us? Does the law itself kno 'I hing about the infraction or vio lation? Not at all. Both the judx teristics and the law are quite imparti':tz Then where does our difficulty come from? Solely from our ignorance or| willful disbedience or lack of conformity to the law. Is it not clegr, then, that in the same wa what seems to us punishment, su fering, and pain, come not throu the law of Love, but because ou lives and our thinking are out ¢ | hartmony with the law. <The 1 ment which needs to take place i not in the law, but in our own att tude toward the law. The law of | Lo e, therefore, even though it seams to chastise, is truly loving, if out of the experience comes a hapâ€" pier and better life.
