St. Patrick did. So did the Moravians, the Hugenots, the Quakers, some of the Baptists, John Wesley, and others. Now for nearly a half a century many have practiced the same un- der the name of Christian Science. Today millions upon millions thru- out the globe can testify to the ef- ticacy of this practice. It is the most rapidly growing sect in the history of the world. The Christian Science Church does not seek to se- | and so the trail is marked out for gen- erations to come. When the world seemed immersed in the materialism of Jewish theology and Roman pagaz:- ism, there appeared one whose mis- sion was to point the way to spiritual- ity, to deliverance and healing, and he “blazed” a trail to the Father’s house so plain, so simple, that a child jcould follow it. But in after cen- jturies fast-growing weeds {and human doctrines of political pow- er and ecclesiastical worldliness, ob- |scured the trail, and mortals seemed of ritual jhave been the discoverer of an eternal junto thine house. And he arose, anJ|if he be, he will think dif: departed to his house.” : In the light of Mrs. Eddy’s teach- ings we can discern plainly that the healing of sin and the healing of sick-~ ness were one and the same to the} Master. Do you not believe that it is this is! that’s exactly what I think.’ But the right feeling is: ‘How strange that is.

Then you must concede that the sick man can be as speedily re- stored, and by the same method,— that is, if you accept Jesus statement in the passage from Matthew, “For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?” The Discoverer a Woman. Occasionally one hears this ques- tion asked, ‘Why should a woman truth?” The most effective answer te this query may be obtained in a book entitled, “The Life of Mary \day.’ But whether thus submissively or not, at least be sure that you go to the author to get at his meaning, not to find yours.

He probably tells you that the re- ligion of his fathers is good enough for him, and on this point he will find no argument with a Christian Scient- ist, for the religion of the fathers is good enough for him if by the fath- ers he means the early Christian fathers. The religion of Jesus and the early Christians, the religion which was evidenced by the healing of the sick, the stilling of the tempt- est, and the feeding of the multitude, is indeed good enough for all man- kind in fact, it is the only ‘panacea that is good enough for the aching} heart of man. And it is to this self- same religion of Jesus that Christian Science, this great twentieth-century religious movement, turns the sick and weary of earth. Christian Science is not a modern philosophy, not the “product of a fer- tile human brain.” It is the revela- ion of the spiritual facts of being, the revelation of the truth about God and tan tanght by Jesus and the prophets, and it is all to be found in the Bibl< The Path Marked By Jesus.

In fact, until beginning the study of | Christian Science, it was not my habit | to indulge in any deep thinking along religious lines.
