CHRISTIAN SEIENCE AIM 15 EXPLAINED Lecturer Is Heard at Thealer and Church by Large Audiences. Lectures on “Christian Science - Its Redemptive Mission” were delivered in Keifth's Theater at nonon vester and in First Church. of Christ, Scien tist, last might by Bicknell Young, . 8 B., of Chicago. 1L Nr.

Baldwin, fir reader of First Church. nnder whose anspices the lectures were given. “There lately fell into my hands newspaper clipping describing the di eovery of a new disease,” he said About 0 years ago Mary Baker Fddy discovered Chri Science and co-ordinately discovered that there 1s no disea either old or new. This astonishing event, strange as it may seem to you, had to do with facts not theories. It was purely scientific and ethical. and its high purpose was not tainted by any personal ambition Mrs. Eddy was not seeking fame but truth. and she found it in the mental veaim where truth exists primarily and exelusively. Purpose Is Renevolent. purpose Is wholly henevol, science strictly Chr ian. ohiect we have in view is to extend it< immeasurable benefits to all man Kind. and we solicit your interest only that vou mav understand it and put it 1o the test in your daily lives. Without study and investigation, without careful ohservation and eom: parizon. the chemist or physicist can make no =cientific advancement We are accustomed to this fact and en tively reconciled to fit. or to the diccovery of Christian Science. how. ever, the world at large, even the ex ceptionally intellectual part of it, was not aware that exactly the same rule pplies to spiritual advancement. s discovery that the works of Jesuz were scientific and sequential, instead of heing, as is generally sup: mysterious and sporadic, in exactly the same way ther great discoveries are made. that i= 10 say. through observation of as cerrained or ascertainable facts, and the method of discovery entailed the same unswerving allegiance to facts aracterized great scientific from time immemorial. Says Effort Iy Needed. Material existence itself indi cates nothing of the immortality of man. and vet relizion as generally nunderstood, ‘and the material systems of hedling generally accepted, aic at ane in ascribing tn material existence A divine origin. Taking this view. it i< only another step. and. according to that false premise. a logical one, for them both to teach that the troubles of the human race must also have a divine origin. Then we find these systems enzaged in the attempt 1o overcome afflictions and diseases which they regard as legitimate and inevitable phenomena in the universe. Christian Science has given us eves tn see the real way and the under- standing to walk in it. but 1 would not give the impression that this way nn" this understanding can come to vou without any effort on vour part.” SERMON TO BE BASED ON LIFE OF W. 1.

He entered the valley with his father, when the mother whom Abra ham and lIsaac both loved, died and was buried in Hebron. His father had impressed his faith upon Isaac and his own household o that he hecame after his death the founder of a spiritual empire, that rules the world today in the teachings of Judaism. Mohamme danism and Christianity. The influ-| ance of his father is seen in the peace fil methods adopted by Tsa relation with other nations. An Apostle of Peace. samine ecompelled Isaac fo leave Reersheha. He did not go to Egypt God met him at Gerar and stopped | him by His revelation of warning and | g the remewal of the covenant. repeat ing the great promises 1o Isaac that Jehovah had given to Abraham. He | fell into the same sin that marked his | father's experience in Egypt He tried 1o pass Rehekah off as his sister. The ruler of the Philistines rebuked him for his duplicity and issued orders that protected Isaac and his from being molested by his tribe. Being assured of protection. Isaac tarried near Gerar. Like his father. the land. The decision to add agri culture to his task as a shepherd may | | have been due to the presence of the | | famine and the need of his rapidly in- creasing flocks. The section where he encamped possesses marvelous fer- tility. It produces bumper crops without the use of fertilizer. except that which is washed down from the hills sion of crops, and with the use of the most primitive methods of agricul- ture, God's blessing rested npon the efforts of Isaac so that he hecame more prosper through the in erease of his erops and flocks. The prosperity of the patriarch pro. voked jealonsy among the Thilistine. They looked nupon him as intruder. They filled up the wells that had heen Aug by Abraham's servants, result of thelr malicious envy. Abim elech found it necessary to suggest to Isaac in a diplomatic manner that he leave, saying to him. that too great a man for us.” 1In the de cision of the patriarch we see that he was indeed “The First Apostle of Peace.” Isaac did not insist upon his rights. The wells were vested rights that he had inherited from his father Abraham, and he had. added to the | vested interests the fact of his own labor and that of his servants. He had a God given right to the land. Abimelech recognized that Isaac was the stronger, possessing a greater military force, but the patriarch con. sidered God’s will. Abraham had ex- hibited it in his proposal to Lot that there should be no strife hetween them for they were brethren. He could have stood nupon his righte and fought, but the quiet man of faith left Gerar, placing his confidence in God | and daring to prove that the follower of Jehovah had in his spiritual faith a greater protection than the force of arms. He would have fought had God called him, but he knew that lehovah would take cave of him in carrying on his efforts as a_public He saw the difference hetween our rights and the right, Public Benefactor. The self-denial spirit and sacrificial service marked all of Isaac’s life. Any man in the Orient is considered a public benefactor when he digs a well. 1saac digged out the old wells which his father had digged, calling them by the names that Abraham had be stowed upon them. East “have always been of the high est importance as objects of possession and as historical landmarks.” Tt is no easy task to dig through the rock until water is reached, whidh is of the greatest possible value. When the workmen of Isaac tapped some subterranean spring they had to face the claims of the shepherds of Gerar. They acknowledged that the well had bheen dug by the servants of Isaac, but claimed the water because they were the owners of the land. The peace®.] patriarch yielded to their “‘contention” and moved on un- til another site was selected. a well dug and a similar claim advanced. All that lIsaac did was to call the former ‘‘Contention” and the latter one “Enmity.” leave them as a memo- 1 of his ?-Mu apirit and moved on until at last he found & piace (ree lexson. | than the simple ver picturesque | Jthe pathway without irrigation. with succes- | as a| “you are | Wells in the near | | from thelr claims. It is doubtful if | | the forces of Isaac and Abimelech did | | not clash in their fights for water rights, just as men have done and are now doing 1n America. Isaae was no “auitter,” he moved on and dug new wells, hecange he did not see anv vital principle at stake. [ He kept up his work as a public henefactor until he had dug a well outside of tne tervitory of the Philis tines. His faith was justified. for the Lord had found reom for Hie servant in the Jast well, of which we hear that he dug at “Broad Places.”" The apos. tle of peace conquered by his spirit of meekness. winning the friendship of | | his opponents and the hlessing of God The Blessing of Peace.
