= October 24, 1925 GIVES LECTURE HERE ON CHRISTIAN SCIENCE "Christian Science: A Positive Faith," Subject at First Church g of Christ Scientist BY JOHN J. FLINN Jditor's Note: The lecture from which the accompanying is an extract was given before the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Winnetka, Fri- day evening, October 16. Mr. Flinn is a member of the Board of Lecture- ship of the Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. The more questions an honest and earnest inquirer asks in Christian Science, the more proof he demands; the more determined he is to find out for himself," the more promising con- vert and better church member and worker he becomes eventually. Chris- tian Science is never attacked by those who have studied it intelligently, open- mindedly, and thoroughly; it is assailed only by those who take a casual and prejudiced glance at it, who read Sci- ence and Health as 'they would an ordinary book, running through it as they would through a volume prepared for popular entertainment, and not for serious and careful study. In a word, Christian Science is invariably attacked by those who do not understand what it teaches, what it aims to do for humanity, nor what it accomplishes. The Chief Mission of Christian Science It must never be forgotten that Christian Science is engaged first and last, and all the time, in the task of restoring to the world the Word and continuing the works of Christ Jesus; that its highest mission and its greatest joy is to labor unceasingly for the bringing back of primitive Christianity in all its purity, simplicity and grand- eur, and to reestablsh, in a world sore- ly in need of it, that assurance of present-day salvation from error and its consequences, which the Master promised to all who would keep his commandments. He came with heal- ing in his thought, with healing in his voice, with healing in his touch--with healing in his heart--and he went about everywhere doing good, yet sorrowing in his labor of love over the ignorance and perversity of men. Now, as in his day, the Word through Christian Sci- ence, is healing all manner of disease and all manner of discord, yet Christian Scientists know that, as in Jesus' day, the healing of physical ailments is a means, rather than an end.

Only thus are they brought to recognition of the ever-presence of God, and to a realization of the fact, that the paramount mission of Christian Science is not the healing of sickness and disease, but the destruction of ig- norance, fear, and sin, which lie at the WINNETKA TALK 5 9 1 For Better ] + bg A Hallowe'en Candies Candies Our Colorful Favors and Novelties add zest to Po ch the Autumn Party Z Our Winnetka Store with the For Better COMMUNITY KITCHEN Home Made 584 Lincoln Street Candies root of all human sorrow and suffering. Those Who Hunger and Thirst It cannot be denied that Christian Science holds universal attention to- day. So-called skeptics and infidels, no less than orthodox Christians, are keen- ly interested in its doctrines and its demonstrotions. I'he throngs of non- Scientists which everywhere through- yut the world flock to Christian Science lectures, to Christian Science testimon- 'al meetings, and to Christian Science services, afford ample proof of this deep and widespread interest. All classes of people see with their own eyes and hear with their own ears something of its accomplishments for the good of humanity and the glory of God, and who are seeking to learn more about it. And who should hinder hem in this seeking, since wisdom, the understanding of man's true relation- ship to omnipotence, is to be desired yeyond all else that may be sought or attained in this world?
