CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

SECOND LECTURE GIVEN A second lecture was given last evening in the Christian Science Church, Svmonds Street, by Mr. Paul A. Harsch, a member of the Board or Lectureship of the Mother Church, 1 lie First Church of Christ Scientist in Boston. The church was crowded. " The tyrant who once sat upon the throne in this land or in that was weak in power in comparison with the tyrant false belief who steals his way into a man's thinking, and thus from the inside seeks to wreck and destroy that man." said the lecturer. " And so, in the liour of man's greater need, it was divinely inevitable that there should come a fuller revelation, which should meet .that need. " The revelation did come. It came about sixty years ago through a woman who, liko'that other Mary in Bethlehem, had so uplifted her consciousness in spiritual longing and seeking that she could be the channel for the birth into the world of a new spiritual idea. " Mary Baker Eddy discovered, founded, and gave the name to Christian Science. She established a Church which now has branches in every civilised country of . the earth, and a few members or many members in practically every city and town where order and progress indicate that the people arc given' to looking above wholly material things.- Mrs. Eddy was herself healed by this revelation when physicians had despaired of saving her life. In order to understand and to make understandable to others the full nature and method of her healing she shut herself in with her Bible and God until the vision had been apprehended. She was able then to practise the healing power of God as the Master Christian had done."
