20 CHRSTAN SBENCE ANNOTMEREEAS Healing the Sick Secondary i to Healing of Sin, Church ; Lecturer Says. A lecture was delivered last eve ng in First Church of Christ, Scie t-by Frank Bell, C. S. B., of Phila- @elphia, on *“Christian Science: The Sclence of Perfection.”” Mr. Bell was introduced by Elmer I. Baldwin, first reader of First Church of this city, under whose auspices the lecture was glven. Mr. Bell is a member of the board of lectureship of the Mother Church, the | Church of Christ > Sclentist, in Boston, Mass. The lec- turer said, in par “Christian Scle: has been ac- ocused of unduly emphasizing the heal- ing of disease, whereas the prime purpose of religion is to save from sin. A sufficient answer, to a_Christ should be the gospel record of Jes who, by both His example and specific command to his identified the healing of the sick with the religion of Christianity Physical Ease Not Aim. #Promotion of mere physical ease Would not of itself be worthy of re- ligion. What the critic possibly has failed to see is that true Christian healing is identical with the destruc- tion o They cannot be separated. “What is sin? In the first place it 1s mental. Back of sinful ac fs sinful thought. Mere r sinful deed leaves has said that thinking adultery is committing adultery. Therefore the sin of adultery remains until every adulterous thought is destroyed. “In the second place, sin is not only a matter of thinking, but of imperfect thinking.

If one says, My whole sense of things denies that, then the answer is that the more com- pletely a sense of things denies the realty of being, the more completely sinful Is such sense of things. > John w s in the second chap- ter of his first epistle * My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. . .

The record presents Him as repudiating every evidence of physical sense, annulling e tion of material law, denying and casting out every argument of material belief, smiting with the rod of His mouth the countless suggestions of the sight of the eyes and the hearing of the ears, such as today would tempt you und me to belleve that ‘all that is in the world' is true and real, and therefore God-made. Material Things Unreal. All that is in the world" truth ‘not of the Father, a : John has said. The sinfulness of material belief is, manifestly, its en- mity against God. If material things are real, God made them or He is not the only creator. If God made material things, He must have made the bad things as well as the good | things. Would a God who made bad | things be a good God? Is it any is in St should refuse to base His judgment { on what the ey heard? ‘The disciple of materlalism may I cannot deny that which my plainly see and my ears clearly hear. The answer is, then ‘you must accept responsibility for main- taining _an impudent accusation against God. You may choose to try to ignore this responsibility you cannot avoid pa The practice of Chr Science, now verified by the accumulated proof of half a century of active operation, demonstrates that the ills of the flesh are due to the beliefs of the flesh, to a false sense of life in matter and apart from Spirit. In the proportion that the Christian of today learns to master the sinful sense of reality in | aught that is not of the nature of | God is Christian healing achieved. “It is not true that onme cannot deny the evidence of the material senses. He who says he cannot means only that, et, he will not. Whosoever will 1 come. There is a way out. It is the way of the great W ower, who was without sin because He was without belief in the reality of anything that would deny that man is now the complete | | son” of God: the Way-shower, who| from the standpoint of His utter repudiation of the sight of the eyes ind the hearing of the ears, could say with absolute conviction to men and women of his time, men and| women like dom of God therefore perfect as Father which is in Heaven is per- fect.” saw and the ears Insurance Building 15th & I Sts.

New demonstra- tions are now in prograss in Cle land and Philadelphta. -.Conceived originally as a_mechanism for the examination and study of delinquent boys and girls brought to the atten- tion of the juvenile courts, the child guidance demonstration clinc, the report explains, has evolved into a community enterprise serving not only. the courts, but also the schools, homes and social agencies jn their dealings with juvenile behaviox prob- lems of all kinds. In Minneapolis and St. Paul contacts were made with more than a hundred different orgax- | izationd and agencles in a preliminary survey of the medical, legal, educa- | tional and social resources of those | cities. | These child guidance clinics are conducted by the National Committee for Mental Hyglene as part of a five- | Yyear program. “The work of the child guidance says Dr. Frankwood E.| Willlams, medical director of the Men- tal Hyglene Committee, “receives its inspiration from the bellef that the conduct disorders and difficulties of Bacillus Acidophilus Milk For Intestinal disorders Ask your physiclan about It Prepared by the NATIONAL VACCINE AND ANTITOXIN INSTITUTE 1515 U St. W. childhood and youth have a great deal to do! with the social misde- meanors and criminality of later life. In its studies of the problem of crime in State prisons, county jails, peni- tentiaries and other correctional in- stitutions in various parts of the country, the committee has been im- pressed again and again by the D! opathological character of large numbers of their inmates, especially of those sentenced a number of times. It bas found, in fact, that the core of this penal population s composed of recidivists—repeaters in crime—and that the percentage of psychopath- ology is greater in proportion to the frequency of arrest. It seems, there- fore,” Dr. Willlams concludes, “that the welght of the burden of crime 1s not made by those who through a single act—frequently spectacular and thereby focusing public attention upon this . group—become delinquent or criminal, but by those who have been through the mill of the court and the prigon repeatedly.
