fk Ca PTT WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, MAY 23, 191 % A LECT By REV. ANDREW | CHRISTIAN SCIENCE Entitled: Christian Science: URE ON The Vision of Jesus Christ J. GRAHAM, C. S. Rev. Andrew J. Graham, C. S., of Boston, Mass., member of the Board of Lectureship of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass., delivered a lecture on Christian Science, Sun- day afternoon, May 18th, under the auspices of First Church of Christ, Scientist, Wilmette, Ill., in the church edifice, Central Ave. and Tenth Street, ; The lecturer was introduced by Mr. George M. Spangler, who said: Ladies and Gentlemen--Friends: On behalf "of First Church of Christ, Scientist, of Wilmette, it is my pleasure to bid you all a most cordial welcome here this afternoon. Your very presence indicates that you wish to know something about Christian Science. Either you already a student or you know noth- ing about the subject and want in- formation as to whether Christian Science can be of value to you. In either event, you have come to the right place and you will be amply rewarded for coming. Many years ago: Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and founder of Chris- tion Science foresaw that just such inquiries would be made, and in order that each might receive a correct answer to his or her problem, she or- ganized the Christian Science Board of Lectureship under the guidance of the Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, of Bos- ton, Massachusetts, and arranged for appointment to, this Board of men and women who by their lives had proved themselves to be earnest and loyal exponents of Christian Science. We have a member of this Board of Lectureship with us this after- noon, and it is our privilege to hear many helpful and healing statements of fact relating to Christian Science. We read in Proverbs: "A word spoken in due seison, how good is i. The amount of good that each of us may receive from this lecture is measured only by our openness of are Health with Key to the Scriptures," | by Mrs. Eddy. This book is not a commentary on the Bible, but a key to it. Other writers claim to bring out treasures from the Scriptures and to hand them to us: Mrs. Eddy gives us.the key, saying, Open the book and help yourselves. Any claim to excellency can be sustained and maintained only by results--"by their fruits ye shall know them." The spiritual virility and illumination which the student of the Bible re- ceives through earnest study of the Christian Science textbook is un- deniable proof that the latter is what is claimed for it--a key to the Scriptures. The dominant thought of the textbook is spiritual. If any- thing else is sought in its pages it will be unresponsive. To those who are hungering and thirsting after righteousness and to the sick and sinful who are seeking peace, it is as deep responding unto deep. Simp- ly the reading of it has lifted thousands of sufferers out of de- spair. Friends: the man who is really homesick to know his heavenly Father, God, from whom he seems to be separated, is ready to study this textbook, and to gain through its teaching, healing and purity and peace. The Christian Science text- book, through informing and guiding the truth seeker, disposes thoroughly of a cold storage Bible, by throwing the doors wide open and exposing its treasures to all who desire them. Christian Science Healing What is Christian Science healing? It is the overcoming of disease by the same method which Jesus em- ployed, 'that is, by understanding and utilizing the infinite power of God who, according to the psalmist, healeth all our infirmities, The re- sults in Christian Science healing differ from those brought about by other methods in that they are moral as well as physical, and are far more complete, satisfactory, and enduring. Jesus never employed nor mind and our attentiveness, there-| fore, in your own interest, I bespeak for our Lecturer your earnest and undivided attention. Andrew J. Graham will now address us. Synopsis of Lecture | In the year 1866 Mary Baker Eddy, | whom medical skill had failed e- | lieve of a serious was instantaneously healed through | reading the Scriptures. Christian | Scientists know that with her heal-! mg began the modern fulfillment of Jesus' promise: "When he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide vou! mto all truth." Instead of taking her physical healing and losing herself in the throng of the unthankful, her | gratitude to God .and compassion for suffering humanity led her to in- vestigate and to meditate. . On page 109 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mrs. Eddy writes For three years after my discovery, I sought the solution of this prob- lem of Mind-healing, searched the Scriptures and read little else, kept aloof from society, and devoted time and energies to discovering a posi- tive rule." This rule she discovered, stated, elucidated, and demonstrated, over and over again, in healing the sick, thus reinstating the most prac- tical feature of primitive Christianity. y The Textbook It 1s fitting . at this time to say something about the Christian Science textbook, "Science and to re-i physical trouble | n. | learn how evil is explained and over- I have pleasure in introducing Rev. | a | of Boston, who | ! : I" Sooner l no health tis able after the start is made to draw even a heavier load, so man, under the sore burden of sickness recommended the use of matter in any form 'to cure disease. If one desires a fuller explanation he must study Christian Science, and come metaphysically, The Handicap 3 or later mortal man is forced to the conclusion that he has that is, no heali : g power | in himse eit, and by the s: token | he knows that no other mortal can heal him. He finds hi self suffering from a ha -dicap, which must be re. moved by some outside power before | he can take any step into freedom. As a team of horses. on a a rough road, unable to start the load without help, and sin, must have help before he can start. It is not required that a sufferer must believe in nor under- stand Christian Science before some- thing can be done for him. I love Christian Science because it first lov- ed me; because while I was as yet ignorant of God as boundless love, Christian Science stretched out, as it were, a helping hand. The Scrip- tures state this truth of the removal of the handicap very beautifully, "We love him, because he first loved us." Divine Love always takes the initiative. This thought gives us courage; but to be fully benefited we must turn fully to divine Love. "It is God which worketh in you both to will and to do." It is God who re- moves the handicap and enables us to start. Wherefore, "Arise, let us go hence." RAPP HURLS NO-HIT GAME; WILMETTE IS 10-0 WINNER SUNDAY Wilmette completely swamped the Peerless A. C. nine of Chicago, Sun- day afternoon, at the New Trier park, when they sent 10 markers over the plate while holding their op- ponents to a big zero. The main feature of the game w the phenomenal pitching who breezed along for the mnings without allowing a man to reach first on a hit. He walked two men but did not have to exert him- self to strike out 10 with his excep- tional assortment of curves, and splendid control. Only three balls were hit into the outfield by the Chicagoans and the 1 as of Rapp, full nine Wilmette defense was so airtight that some of the spectators were wondering if they hadn't strayed to a big league park. They were dis- illusioned however when they saw errors pile up behind the opposing pitcher. Not more than three of Wilmette's runs were earned. Peerless opened the game when the first man up struck out and the next. two were out at first. Wilmette 'opened with four runs in their half! Two more were scored in the third" L§ on a double, singles. Wilmette had one out in the fourth, one run in, and bases full when Ro- bertson. and Schwall struck out in two errors and two the pinch. No more runs were scored until the seventh when another runner counted on a double, single and an error by the first baseman.' Two more crossed the plate in the eighth.

SUBSCRIBE NOW Charles Carroll Charles Carroll was the last to Sur- vive of the 57 men who signed our Declaration of Independence. He liv- ed until 1832, having reached his ninety-fifth year. He was the most eminent of the four men from Mary- land, and was of Irish descent, the first member of the family to come to this country being also named Charfes Carroll, who left England in 1689. An Open Letter to the People of the North Shore HE NORTH SHORE is the finest community in this country, with a reputation throughout the land for its high social standards, its civic pride, and for everything that makes for idealistic citizenship. AM proud of the fact that I spent my young boyhood I in this community, and whatever success I have achieved in later years I attribute to the influences of my associations during my impressionable age in this community. NE of the episodes in my professional career, one ! O that stands out more vividly and one that recalls the best part of my life, was my apprenticeship on your local paper. Here 1 set out to make my name and fortune; here I received my first training and here I had the rough edges polished off and was given the encouragement that sent me to the Musical College of Northwestern University. TOW after all these years I come back to the seat N of my boyhood days, to the home of my college, with a measure of success in a musical comedy named "SUNSHINE" which will begin an indefinite engagement at the PRINCESS THEATRE Chicago, Sunday night, May 25. ¢QUNSHINE," if I may be bold enough to say so, is S presented with the dignity of grand opera, enacted by artists who have achieved great success, and is, in short, not a musical comedy ofthe current variety but an operetta of the very highest ambitions. The writer composed the music and William Cary Duncan wrote the book andlyrics. Together we wrote "Fiddlers Three," another musical comedy presented in Chicago at the out- set of this season with marked success. "SUNSHINE" is witty without being vulgar, the comedians are clever without being suggestive, the ladies are young and beautiful and not immodest, the staging is atmospheric and picturesque and harmonious, and the costumes are original, chic and conservative. N short, "Sunshine" is a musical comedy for the whole family to see, with captivating music, good clean comedy, and a young, beautiful vivacious chorus; it is a delightful evening's entertainment in the theatre. HEREFORE, I invite every theatre-goer along the 'Y North Shore to witness a performance of "Sun-' shine" at the first opportunity. j I THANK YOU. (nds. INSTT mE FV AE To m-- -- >
