Lecture On The Teftets Of Christian Science By John, C. Lathrop, C. S. B. At The Moorlyn Theatre, Sunday Larne Auditorium Packed to the Doors Including jalcony — Lecturer Ranks As One of Leading Teachers of Christian Science in America.

"Die purpose of this lecture is to] ; ri,Q« the practical excellence of • a Christian Scieiurf. It is not the | intention to berate any religiom or I thrrapeutical theoiy, or Miy one's ; i beliefs, but to pcrsuadi that Chris- ; t tian Science is just the lieppicst.ti the purest anil most practical way » to health nnd harmtfny the world s has ever knowiijJj abort that is : t Christ's way to sajyatien. a Christian Science The Guide ( All, person* desire harmony of, mind and body. All "desire to es- j rape liere and now the seemingly L endless trials ami sorrows, the j f sickness and suffering, Uie fear, ij .in ami death' of mortal life. All want salvation and desire a pros- ( ent salvation from the ills ami tor- ! ( ments of the fiesh. Christian ( Science is the guide-post pointing; the direct way to this salvation.!* Christian Science is more than the guide-post; it is also the convey- j sure. It points and provides the ' ' way out of disaster, and proves it- j self to lie what Jesus foretold must j ^ come when he said, "I will pray the Father, and he fhull give you ? another Comforter- that he may , abide with you forever." (John xiv: IS). All who have felt the healing ( and saving power of Christian „ Science, believe that it is the long looked for Holy Comforter, "even ' the Spirit of Truth" who "will guide you into all •.ruth" (John 5 xiv: 17, xiv: IS). Ignorant And Superstitious Beliefs I came in touch with a good man * who conscientiously believed that Christian Science is as he said "a 1 new order, n new era, a new revelation," but he said his misfortune 1 was that he was a mere onlooker, % an outsider, he could -not enter in. ' The stumbling block to him in ' Christion Science was what he calls ' its denial of facts. He thought he ' was suffering from a tumor which ' he believed was a fact and that he * was getting worse every day. He 1 sxid he could not undo: stand that 1 such an abnormal growth had no c oistence in a spiritual body, but ' that he was no", a spiritual boil/, > ami nof likely to become one. He t ' said he vainl / trie I to me 'bate ' «nd pray. He longed for purify » end righteousness and peace- but t got only doubt and uncertainty i ami defeat. He iielicvrd that God J Cfuld cute him if He would, but i that God might desire him to die i for the sins of s-mir old ancestor , I he never heard about, that he was . ( up against the hereditary law of 1 1 "the sins of the fathers," and that 1 1 such being the . law, the fact, how j < could he deny it, — he could only I "grin and bear it." 1 1 There is a common ignorance as i to whpt law really is, what the fact is- what belief is, and what super- i stition is. There are still men and | women who are sure that the stars , •way the human destiny, who will , not look at the new moon over the ( left shoulder or through glass; , they would not for the world go ] under a ladder; one foot before the , other in getting out of bed, cross- | i»K a threshold or starting on a , walk is beneficial or malevolent.!' This is superstition in a material | , age, and the more material a I , thought the more superstitious it , is. Vast suffering ami sorrow ] , have been caused, and the law ot , heredity has bden su ported by a too j . •hasty interpretation of Moses' Sec- ■ ond Commandment about the sins ; of the fathers. Many people have tickened and 'succumbed because •hey feared they were of the third and fourth generation who must suffer for the iniquity of their fathers. What the Second Commandment really say* ic that it i' .only upon the children "that hate men" that the iniquity of the fathers shall be visited unto the third and fourth generation, and this is emphasized by thr prophet Ezeklel who says, "As I live, saith the Lord God . . .The son shall not hear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the lak-'ty of the son . .In hi* rlghteo ^ss that he hath done he shall live . . .Fit I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, said the Lord God; wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye." (Esek.j •will- 3. 20, 22, 82.) When will all good • people see that God has no1 more pleasure In the sickness and fear, the ignorance and superstition of mortals, than He has in the death of him that dieth.j Wherefore tum y ousel ves and live! ; Turn your thoughts away form the material and limited beliefs about | God, man and the universe, about Spirit i mi matter, nbout heaven

1 1 and heli, about the Christ, Truth, 'jam! Jems the wayshowcr. about ' ! prayer, baptism and atonement- 1 about everlasting punishment and " . immortality. Turn, as your thoughts turne dfrom the spinning ' , j wheel, the tallow candle ami the ' ; stage coach. All these questions ' j and difficulties are made clear by - i ! the teachings of Christian Science, and in the process thereof the sin- ' ner is awakened ami the sick arc ' ' , healed. Awakening From Material Beliefs ' ' ' Out timorous friend with the I tumorous belief need not despair. ' file is not. an outsider nor an on-l* looker, but is just as much a child ' of God, and within the scope of ' : God's ministrations, as are nil j creation. What he needs i<;' j t<> be waked up, shaken up if nee- 1 jessary, to ft-el a fuller faith in ' j God's allness and goodness. His ' i omnipotence ami His infinite ever1, j presence. The prophet lx.-.inh cried, "Awake, awake" "lss ie j thyself" .. ."Shake thyself from;) the dust" "Put on thy beautiful , garments ... 0 captive daughter of , (lsa. lii: 1, 2.)

You can surely do it. , i and it will pay you to try. It will j , » you and set you free. And; - when you have accepted these ' truths as foundational facts, what 1 then is the inevitable conclusion? • The query to follow is the natural ' | question. What of this material I man and universe? Whence came ' this man created according to the ' second chapter of Genesis, the male ' out of dust- amTTKe female out of 0 1 a | rib ? This dust man, or lust " man, who by the very nature of B| his so-called origin and existence s denies not only the allness of God f as Spirit, but the allness of Gel as 4 Creator. What about this • tt ' man and rib woman, and all tlieir r material, selfish, sickly and «! V"i " thoughts? What about matter u\ * the whole material world! What c of them and if it be an error, how e is the error to be accounted for B and disposed of!; t Disposal Of Matter h Did you ever try to lift yourielf t by your bootstraps? It cant be -, done. Yet this is the way some e persons try to deny matter, by u»- ^ ing matter to lift themselves 'out II of matter, by looking at it continn ually and then deciding it is loo ri real to be denied. And as they do n not discover its unreality and five l. j true way to dispose of It How II do you dispose of an error in math■j ! ematical problems? By looking .1 continually at the error, by talki- ing about and crying over it? Evil n and error, and matter- fear, sickliness and death are outgrown by :! | waking up from the fsise sense . e jthat we believed wa* true, and thizj it false sense is changed by diacoverit I ing the true sense of oCd, of .an j "Jan.! the universe. Isn't it sr.lv byj

discovering the truth in matheJ i mstics that you get ' nd of the , terror? x Dropping Matter Like Learning To , Float Did you ever learn to float" in 'the water? At first you are sure! • you will sink, and perhaps fear will cause you to, but if you will I , be still and conquer fear, you will j r > upheld and carried along quite: securely. It may seem , hard to', drop matter, and yet it is simple — , j like learning to float. Faith is the) » principal factor in learning to ] • float, just as it is in learning to I do anything. Faith is the unseen,, in what the material senses do not ' testify to. Paul said, "For we; walk by faith, not by sight." (2 Cor. v: 7.) Faith abolishes fearami entirely changes your point of I view. Christian Science calls mat- . r ter error of material belief, be- , cause matter is the very opposite j j of Spirit, which is All-in-all, and God never made anything unlike ' ' . Himself, Spirit. But whence came 1 this error of belief with mil its a>n, 1 sickness and death, to which wc , i captive*? Whence came the bcl'ef that you couldn't float ? But when you find yourself quietly. : floating down the stream, gazing ^ happily l(p into the peaceful blue, j sky, you never ask yourself what. , become (T -flbiU- lielief. It will j j , trouble you agihn, 'and you ' I know it. for It has vanished into that imaginary realm of ignorance ; and illusion to join its comrades — , all those other false beliefs- beliefs ( in something unlike Spirit, God. ' Jesus' Attitude Toward Matter, > Evil And Disease - This seeming something, this ' 1 false claim of life, intelligence m.d 1 substance in matter which causes - r all fear, sickness, sin and death is j " the devil or evil which Jesus came . ' destroy. He denounced it as a i ' from the beginiiii.tr, and the I father of lies, and sui-t "The light j • of the body is the eye (the ' thought ) : if therefore thine eye • be single (thy thought be single), I I thy whole body shall be full of ■ (Matt, vi: 22.); A lie /ill ' defined as a deception. Jesus • healed the sick by knowing they were deceived by false beliefs- that( f they were captives of a darkened ' thought or false sense, and he set ( ' the captives free physically by his ; ! single thinking, that* is, his right ; • thinking about God and man. 1 - Jesus' spiritual right thoughts re- ' : fleeted the Christ, Truth, which the j ?; captive felt mentally, and thus w»s , ; freed from the influence of the J , evil and sick beliefs which were - affecting him physically. Jesus' Recognition Of Thought Jesus well knew the allness of; j Mind, and the all power of right ; , thought, thoughts which were sinj 1 gle, in other words God's thoughts, thoughts which knew no power nor ; ' i but Spirit- Mind, Truth , I ' and Love. Jesus knew, as he said, ' , that "the Son can do nothing of I ' himself, but what he aeeth the do: for what things soever " doeth, these also doeth the Son , likewise." (John v: 19.) Jesus . could do nothing but think and , reflect the thoughts which camel from God. He knew of but one | Mind, which to him was the prlnciple of man. The divine Mind he-| 'ing All-in-all was his Mini, ail j Paul says, "the mind that was in i r J Christ Jesus." 1 Jesdb' Expression Of The Christ '' , It was thus that Jesus expressed : the Christ, Truth, or the true Idea ■ of God. This explains his dual 1 nature- Jesus the physical, -em- ' poral man, born of Mary, and - Christ, the spiritual, eternal man, ' born of God. The Christ wa* mani- • fested through the spiritual ' thought* of Jesus, and this Christ, ' Truth, was the light and power • that destroyed the sickly and sinp ful thought* of mortals. f Oneness And Allness Of Thoagkt t Jesus also knew that if one Mind r were his with which to think of all e God's children, and his real mlsj sion to mankind was to teach mor- , tals this great fact. Then they t could do the works that he did, and r as he said- could do evey greater ,1 works. It has been said, "Freedom i of thinking is simply nonsense, and t we are no more free to think withv out rule, than we are free to act r without one." Such a belief savors of the fear and superstition of the dark ages. In its ignorance it expresses a very limited sense of God 1 and Man. It is a belief that is « still In prison behind the bars of e material law. Did not Peter and >- Paul, James and John emphasize • the divine right of freedom in i- thinking? Paul said, "Let this 0 mind be in you which was also in *> Christ Jesus. '\JPhil. li: 5.), and -e again, "Be not conformed to this " world; but be ye transformed by i- the renewing of your mind, that % ye may prove what As that good, i- and acceptable," and perfect- will of il God." (Rom. xll: 2). Thomas A. t- Edison says, "To start thought y going, is the highest mission of e mankind." Start thought going, is i liberate man's true individuality r- and the rules of right thinking will n soon be revealed to him. These yj rules, and the divine Principle of t -• d t is Is if

these rules have been discovered in s" Christian Science, and are, availably j I for all mankind uTuiWterstand and ! n to utilize. n Right Thinking Is Ri^ht Prsyer e The act of using this Jlivine Prinr ; ciple and these rules .discloses the U true meaning of prayer. In fact II ; thinking by divine Principle and e rue, and thinking blindly according : o | to material belief, constitutes the _ iVxact difference betaken right 1 e I prayer and wrong prayer .the difo j ference between the prayer that 0 j avails, and the prayer that gropes in the ^prk and fails, between the j prayer that heals the sick as well , us the sinner, and the prayer that 2 limits God's power, and doubts His ' , willingness to destroy all kinds of j error. Most peiple believe ihnrj prayer to God is igood thinking. | ' Why not extend the good thinking, ' s, instead of limiting it or stopping j it altogether? Extending it is ' . exactly what Christian Science ' [ does. Extend it to the point of deciding that your thoughts shall ' ' no longer be govern eil by tlie false , , belief that life, subst-ince ami in- ; ( j telligence are in matte- . with its;, , sickness, sin and death. Extend it;, f to decide that your thought.: shall , j governed by the one Mind that , ji was in Christ Jesus, by IJfe, Truth 1 ; 1 1 and Love, the divine Principle of | j j man's being- and when your ] | } thoughts are^tjp* governed, you , t find that then you are really praying, for right thoughts governed i j 5 thus will reflect the Truth that', heals the sick. Your thoughts are . , I your own to manage them or allow , . them to manage you.. Which shall it be? "Choose ye this day whom , s ye will serve," whether the divine , 1 Principle of man's being, or human s will. Says the grateful one, "Right s1 thinking healed when everything , e else had failed. Good, clean, hap- » py, wholesome thoughts took the s place of bad, wrong, poisonoS* tjones. 1 have somehow learned the e truth about man. Hint's all. It's t j just that whereas I was blind- now , I see." Three Eras Of Mental Awakening B ' The human consciousness has experienced three eras of awakent ing since Jesus uttered those memj ! orabie words, "I have yet many t . things to Ray unto you, but ye can- „ not bear them now." (John xvi: 12) t First came the era of belief which prevailed from -the third to the . j fifteenth century, namely, that one e mind governed the world; but that g 1 was claimed to be one human mind e which God has especially created to e do the higher thinking. The next era was called the Reformation, which began in the sixteenth century, when the great rights of r ; freedom ot thinking were insisted 1 ; on, and when it was claimed that " there were many human minds.

1 1 each created by God, who gave i- 1 each an equal and independent; d1 right to think for and goven\hlmI self. The third and last era"-hx5 simply been the inevitable result r j of the second. In the ripeness of ":iime, ir» the year 1866- Mary Bnkrr e Eddy, a New England woma i of 1 j Puritan forbears, discovered the ^ j divine Principle of being, which means that there really is and aie | ways has been one Mind, but that 1 Mind is God, and not a human , mind. She discovered that the material mortal mind is merely a false | S belief of life and intelligence in • matter, in other words, an evil , sense which mortals must over- | come and out of which they must J awaken. This discovery marked , ( a distinct and radical advance over , •| the previous eras, for with this j ' 1 discovery came the Spirit of truth , ' foretold by Jc*as," the full Christ j ' power to heal mentally the sickj : nesses and sins of mankind. ( ( Mrs. Eddy's Discovery | 1 1 Mrs. Eildy writes of her-4Ucov- ;. ' ery in Science and Health with Key " the Scriptures- the text-book of j 1 Christian Science (p. 109), "Chris- ( 'I tian Science reveals incontrover- ( ' j tibly that blind is All-in-all, that 1 j tlie only realities are the divine ^ I - Mind and idea." She says, "This ; ( ^ great fact is not, however, seen to ; r ! supported by sensible evidence I I until its divine Principle is demon- ^ j | strated by healing tlie sick and ( | thus proved absolute and divine. | ' This proof onte seen/no other con-' ! elusion can be reached. "She- ' writes in "Retrospection and Intio-.j spection (p. 28), "I had learned;, ' that thought must lie spiritualized ' order to uppreliend Spirit It j | must become honest, unselfish and , pilW, in order to have the least 1 1 • understanding of God in divine 1 j ■ Science." j, • Change Of Viewpoint | ! this necessary change, or you are; r healed or are able to prove the' v healed o rare able to prove the1 Principle of Christian Science you j ' will neVer again. i you have done i ' 5 so .think that Christian Science is ' " queer or heretical, or be in the J least disturbed perhaps because the discovery of Christian Science ' ' came through a woman. This will • Uien be U you a most natural and ' beautiful compensation. During the 1 quarter of a century in which I e have been active in Christian B Science, I have seen hundreds of pood people scorn, scoff at and ! '' und revile its radical teachings, 0 but within a ilay or a month, lo, I 1 havo seen their point of view ' '■ changed, their thoughts completely " transformed, transformed by the I renewing of the Spirit.
