CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.

A lecture on "Christian Science, tha Government by Divine Law," was giveaj in the De Luxe Theatre yesterday afternoon by Judge Samuel W. Greene,- : C.5.8., o£ Chicago. One of the first im* •, pressions that comes to the beginner -inj£'"' Christian Science, he said, is one of satisfaction on finding a religious teaching that is exact —that is really scientific land in.accord with law. Law has held'for,, the masses a. place of respect, . dignity,even majesty. From the standpoint of law, Christian Science makes a tremen* dous appeal to the logical reasoning •- thought. The discoverer and founder ol,*' Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, 'de->'" fines Christian Science as "the law of God, the law of good, interpreting arid"1 demonstrating the divine principle aiid* rule of universal harmony." This use of legal phraseology to define Christian' Science may be an indication of h0w".,,- ;- ---earnestly and broadly Mrs. Eddy studied'"* and searched to discover the basis at Jesus' healing method. To turn to fch« Bible for help was her last hope after a -. long and fruitless search for health. ■' among material remedies. Turning to-, God as she did with, hope and faith, shs' quickly saw the healing power manifested... in restored health. She then applied her-* self to a study of the Bible that she ' might know the scientific- basis of her healing. As she studied, the Scriptures were illumined, and she saw and understood how healing depends upon a knowledge of God, as is evidenced in one oC Jesus' most comprehensive promises,,* ■'This is life eternal, that they' might!.';' know thee the only true God. and Jesus { „- Christ, whom thou hast gent." She saw,. that all of Jesus' healings came through . His reliance upon God. She saw that " Jesus claimed no exclusive right to dol spiritual healing, but that the same heal-.. ing power could be exercised by all who! believed on Him—that is, understood tho. :r . Christ. Thus was she led unerringly toi... the discovery that this scientific healing is iv accord with divine law. Therefore,- , its practice is not limited, but is available for every earnest seeker after God whol- r adheres to the plau outlined in Christian; Scieucc. ' . . Another lecture will be given by Judg* Greene on Thursday in the Town Hall,' Admission is i'ree.
