A free lecture was delivered ursday and Friday evenings, Jan- Sand 4, at the Masonic temple, ‘Mrs. Blanche K. Corby, C. 8. B., ber of the Board of Lectureship The Mother Church, The” First i ureh of Christ, Scientist, in Hos- . . Massachusetts, The lecture, Shien follows in full, was under the quspices of the Fourth Church of hrist, Sclentist, Seattle, tthe message that Christian Science Ings to the world to-day is one of dee cheer; it is one of hope, com: fort, health—complete salvation, To} & world stricken with suffering and | Anrest, Christian Science offers de- rance from all the discords of Every one desires to live be- chuse life is natural and normal, and @ knowledge of the best means hereby life may be conserved and @ harmonious Is indeed most ‘of one’s thought and consid- tion, Humanity generally has not ed to God for dally and hourly lp in tie of troubles, It has not believed that God is available under all conditions and circumstances; but “there is no human conditiow so des- ‘perate, no disease so obstinate, that cannot be released from it divine ald, for God, who is is all powerful. |The ‘highest concept of God to be attained is that of Love, expressed in the compassionate, loving Christ “Jesus, who camé “to save that which ‘Was lost." the supreme sacrifice, he overcame death on the cross, revealing to men their God-given dominion, The one consciousness of Love can have no consciousness of anything but loy Tt ts universal love poured out to all mankind.

Because of Mrs. Edidy’s love for humanity, her life was one of loving obedience to God, devoted tp the establishment of Christian Science on earth, that ail might share the blessing it be- stows in health and happiness. Her whole concern was to reveal to her feliow-men Christ's plan of salvation. ‘This concept that God Is Love, is made-practidal in a more loving brotherhood; it destroys all strife, hatred, and revenge, and takes away the desire to injure in any way one’ brother. A Tight sense of love is not talking but doing. As Mrs. Eddy so beautifully expressed it, it is “reflected in love” Science and Health, p. 17). We haye barely touched the hem of Christ's garment to-day in our understanding that God is Love, but the glimpses already gained have en- abled Christian Scientists to heal the sick and to be helpful to humanity. This impelling force of Love will con- tinue until all shall know Him from the least unto the greatest, and God's love be manifested among men. Christian Science teaches that to know God aright it must be under- stood that God {s Principle, Why ghould {t be thought strange that Christian Scientists believe God to be divine Principle? Christian Scl- ence is thdgScience of Christianity, and all scientific demonstrations, whether physical or mental, are the result of an understanding of law and the employment of them. Mathe- matics, music, architecture, every- thing that is worked out according to Tule or method {s in accordance with principle; then it should not be con- sidered inconsistent that man, the spiritual image and likeness of God, is governed by the law of divine Prin- ciple instead of being left to the chance and change of hu ‘The meaning of the word * fs: “Basis or foundation governs all that proceeds from it.” We find therefore that it is the most appropriate term for God. Every thinking person cogniz things that exist; because of his be lief in the existence of things, he be-} lieves that there is a first cause or creator. Christian Science proclaims that Gou is cau: of all created things. It declares God to be Om- nipresence and Omnipotence, the all inclusive infinite Orit, or, as Mrs Eddy so “Adorable One,” which includes all life, law, power, intelligence, and tion. This all-inclusive Omnipotence or the One Presence is best under- stood as Mind, The one omnipotent Mind or one conscious Being is ex pressed after ‘ts.own kind, then all {hat expresses it must be mental Decause the activity of mind ts thought. Everything is mental, whether upon a good or evil, a spir- itual or material, plane. All that we are conscious of to-day is the result of thought; that we exist as mortals ig the result of thought that has gone before.

B., Speaks Twice at the Masonic Temple camo death and revealed the way of salvation for all mankind, SALVATION Salvation Is gained through right thinking, Many theories of salvation have been presented to the world, but only one has proved satisfactory and unfailing. Christ Jesus came as the Way.shower; ho declared and demonstrated a full and complete salvation, Jesus did not teach that & man must die in order to bo saved or reach God; nowhere in the Scrip: tures is found any authority for says ing that he considered evil and death at all necessary or in accord with di vine law; but he did say, “If a man keep my saying, he shall never seo death,” When the beginner in Christian Sei- ence reads in the Scriptures that God pronounced His creation good; that He was satisfied with it; that Ho was entirely satisfied with man made in His own image and likeness; that this man was given dominion over all the earth; the question ts sure to arise, What has taken place that man is not expressing his God- giventominion today? Christian Solence reveals to this age the fact that nothing has happened to weaken. or to destroy man's God-given do- minion, It is impossible that man, made in the image and likeness of God, could fall Into evil and sin; yet the belief that he did so fall has caused all thé sorrow and suffering on earth. The beginner further asks, “If God is infinite good, where did evil come from, what ts its cause and origin?” When we learn to think in accord with divine Mind. we find that evil in individual consciousness dis- appears and that, therefore, the only jenuse for evil or sin is a false be- Nef, a wrong thought, and not spiritual fact. In the degree that | man ceases to think ovil, evil and sin And proportionately as that disappearance takes place, goes fall tho mystery of evil, all Its pr jence and power, HEALING The first step toward freedom [from evil is generally taken through | the desire for physieat healings.

Christian Science heals the sick to establish the fact of the reallty of God or good, and it heals the sinner to prove the un reality of sin of evil. Christian Sei ence does not teach that sickness and evil do not seem reat to the human consciousness; but it does teach that human consciousness {4 a false consciousness that expresses itself According to its false beltefs in all It in the result of or uncovering is accomplished only through the understanding of God and His law. |. Throughout huma has deified himself; God in the image and likeness of man. Because God has been believed to be a mighty being manifesting Jenlousy, anger, revenge, visiting His wrath upon His people; the be: [lef that might is right grown jto the utmost. As the result of this growth human history is a record jot the cruelty of the human will Because of the dei ion of the mor. tal or material mind and its beliefs, the statement is sometimes {gnorant ly made that the healing of Christian | Science is wrought through sugges tion, or the action of the human mind,—one mind controlling another human mind history man has created in some mysteriou p¥ay.

Because the pop: ular forms of healing deal with the effect instead of the cause, there ts a long lat of so-called incurable dis: eases; incurable, only becauae some men have said that they cannot cure them, Jesus never said that disease ix incurable or difficult to heal, but instead he did say of the worman who jhad been bowed together for many l years, that Satan had bound her; in lother words, her belief in evil had caused her physical infirmity. ‘The majority ef cures wrought by Chris tlan Scionce have been of diseases pronounced incurable, and the great ranks of Christian Sclentista to«dlay lare composed largely of those who [have been compelled to turn to God |for ald because seme man had said [he could not heal them, ‘That is in- /deed a happy day when we learn that | man cannot heal, but that God can and does, Centuries of time can never make }a le or falae claim, true, for it was | false from the beginning; neith |can centuries of misconception dim- jinish the power of God, who is the ame yesterday, to-day, and forever.

EXPLAINS CHRISTIAN SCIEN tory would be of not more yaiue to day than any other ancient history | were it not for that thread of Truth whieh hus preserved it throughout all time and hag made it waered to all Christian people, The Christian warfare, the strife in individual con: sclousnens, in ever the same in the overcoming of evil with Truth; there- fore, the experiences of the people of Gad, of every prophet and apostle, depict the contiiet between good and evil experienced by every mortal. Hejigious history presents different conditions of thought; the story of Job's life in iMustrative of the life }of every man born into the flesh, | Mortal man, like Job, has looked in vain for a contented state of mind. Searching for satisfaction and happ! hens he has plunged into every plear ure, only to find disappointment. Business and the accumulation of | money have been the resort of many to gain content and peace of mind, | but the goal bas ever been @ will: jo'the-wiep just ahead, but\ never within grasp. Men have been prone to believe that there is no re- ligious teaching satisfactory — or dependable, and at last arrive at that place In thelr exper ence where they exclaim, “All js vanity and vexation of spirit." At this point they may be ready for Christian Science, and when they understand it they can then declare, as did Job, “I know that my redeem. er Hyeth.” Mortal mind has within ftself no saving grace, It suggests its own sense of happiness and pleasure; It man choowen to look to matter for satisfaction, he must accept all the suffering that accompanies this be- ef.

THE DISCOVERER AND i FOUNDER Little more than fifty years ago time had not annulled God's prom: ines, and with her healing eame the determination to know the Selence or truth of that which had wrought such # change in her life, She de- voted years to the research; and at laut, in the diyine and natural order of eyents, in 1875, “Sclence and Health with Key to the Scriptures” was given to the world, This 6x- perience in most comprehensively set forth in her book, “Retrospection and Introxpection,” a short biographical account of her own life, She writes of her great discovery (p. 26): “The Bible was my textbook. It anawered my questions as to how I was heal- ed; but the Scriptures had to me a new meaning, a new tongue. ‘Their spiritual signification appeared; and I apprehended for the firat time, in their spiritual meaning, Jesus’ teach- ing and demonstration, and the Prin- ciple an¢ rule of spiritual Sclence and metaphysical healing,—in a word, Christian Selence.”” Throughout all time, here and there, men and women of uplifted thought have been able to heal through faith, but they kad no knowledge of divine law or of the process by which healing might be accomplished for all, Their exper- lences were fragmentary and not the result of a knowledge of Principle. It is no miracle to accomplish resulta when one is shown the way through a sclentific rule and its application, but the great miracle was this, that in @ world and age of abject mater- jaliam, & woman appeared, who through steadfast faith in God and a desire to know His will in order to help mankind, was able to peer back through the centuries of error, 4g- norance, and darkness and perceive again the healing Christ, This was ithe miracle, and yet it was tke in- jevitable action of Truth.

Knowl edge of God is true education, and only as the spiritual sense is gained through the study of the letter can the truth be demonstrated. ‘The world travalling in anguish | and sorrow has great need of the | Comforter today, but the great con- vulsing problems can be settled ul jtimately only through the under- standing of Principle. As Christian Scientists look out upon the world’s tumult, resulting from conflicting thought, they are not dismayed nor” discouraged. They know that God jgoverns the untverse and that the earth ts to be transformed. The progress of individuals, as well as that of nations, is according to their concept of Deity, and the universal understanding of God will end all strife and warfare, and bring a per- | manent peace.
