CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.

A large and attentive audience listened to a lecture on “The Discovery and Healing Mission of Christian Science,” by Professor Herman S. Hering, of Boston, in the Civic Theatre, Christchurch, yesterday, under the auspices of First Church of Christ, Scientist, Christchurch.

Many who have been healed were awakened to a. hotter sense, which made it possible for them to begin to know God and His Son Christ Jesus aright, to understand and love the Bible as never before, to distinguish between tho divinely real and the humanly unreal, said the Professor. It is noticeable among faithful Christian Scientists that they have higher ideals, ambitions, motives, and desires, better modes of living, than before they knew of Airs Eddy’s teaching. This quickened thought has not only a more ethical character, hut has an actual spiritual quality which only the love of God and Christ .Jesus can bestow. Those who understand the works of our Alaster, Jesus Christ, during his ministry on earth, can readily see that if his teachings were rightly understood and strictly obeyed, there would ho no more sickness, sin, misery, nor death upon earth, for the “former things’’ would have “passed away.”
