LECTURES ON
The principle* of Christian Science
were expounded yesterday afternoon
In the Empress theatre by Prof. Her
man 8. Herlng. C. C. 9. B., of Con
cord, N. H. The theater was crowded,
Prof. Herlng. who Is a member of the
board of lectureship of the Mother
Church, the First Church of Christ,
Scientist, In Boston, outlined the foun
dation of the science of Christian heal
ing.
“Christ Jesus, the great physician,
the divine healer, has for all time set
the standard of perfect healing before
humanity." he said, "and that many
do not yet believe In his gospel results
from a lack of understanding of the
true nature and philosophy of the so
called miracles which he performed.
HI* ethical teachings are very gen
erally accepted even by agnostics; al
though the spiritual records of the
healings work as a part of his divine
mission meet with dissent from many
of the cultured people of today.”
Judge E. F. Medley introduced Prof.
Herlng In well-chosen words. He
said;
“In the last half of the century a
book, entitled “Looking Backwards."
was written by a famous Socialist.
This book was presumably the experl-'
ences of a man who had. In some mi
raculous way passed over a hundred
years of life Into the latter part of
the present century and the volume
dealt with the wonderful changes In
the manner of living of the people.
They bad so far advanced In all ma
terial things that they considered In
amazement the habits and customs of
the people of the present day. And
we. reading that book, now would view
with equal amazement the remarkable
material progress which the book fore
saw.
AIIUUI iuc 11 ill c ill in uvwn
written, a woman, Mrs. Mary Baker
Kddy, was teaching along new lines
of religious thought, looking at the
Bible with a fresher vision than the
older theologians, and spreading the
gospel of healing through right think
ing and right living. To the ordinary
person of that time, Mrs. Kddy and
her book, "Science and Health," were
far more visionary than Edward Bel
lamy, the author of "Looking Back
wards." Yet. within a few short years
Christian Science as taught by Mrs.
Eddy has become a living, vital force
to over a million people in the United
States alone, while we are almost as
far away as ever from the wonderful
things which Bellamy predicted.
"I am not a Christian Scientist, nor
can I pretend to speak with authority
upon the subject. Rather should 1
be numbered among the large majority
of our citizens who, while essentially
fair-minded, have not. from a variety
of reasons, sufficiently examined Chri
tian Science to either accept it or re
ject it. But we all must admit the re
markable progress the teachings of
Mrs. Eddy have made as shown by
the spread of Christian Science all
over the world.
"New things are looked upon ask
ance by most of us. We are essential
ly conservative and prone to criticize
those with courage enough to enun
ciate new truths. Yet if what they
speak is the truth in the end they
must prevail. Jesus Christ was cruci
fied because he was looked upon as
a radical by the people of his day.
Lincoln won a martyr's crown be
cause of his heroic- espousal of aboli
tion. Yet today slavery is an abomi
nation in the minds of us all, and
Christianity has revolutionized the
world.
“Who knows but what In time Mrs.
Eddy will not be equally well accept
ed as one ot the great henefactois of
the human race through the banish
ment of sickness and sin by her teach
ings? In any event, the fact that a
great mass of the thinking and intel
ligent people of our own race are al
ready following the path she biased,
should at least lead us to grant the
advocates of Christian Science a re
spectful and impartial hearing. Christ
said: "He that belleveth In me, the
works that 1 do, shall he do also."
This Is a simple statement and easily
understood. Christ healed the sick,
and even brought the dead to life.
With the force of his example before
us we should all listen with earnest
ness and attention to the gentleman
who will address us this afternoo i on
Christian Science. I present to you
.Prof. Herman a Hering, member of
the board of lectureship of the Mrst
Church of Christ, Scientist, of Pos
ton, Massachusetts.’’
“The gospels record many instp.ucos
of the healing of physical disease by
Christ Jesus and his disciples,” con
tinued Prof. Hering; “he restored a
withered hand, he healed an Impotent
man and a man born blind; he healed
paralysis, dropsy, hemorrhage, lepro
ay, epilepsy and violent Insanity, and
He raised the dead.
"All those who admit that Christian
healing is even desirable can but wel
come a consideration of what It would
Involve, what It would depend upon.
"Christian Science teaches that
Mind Is that which thinks, that which
expresses Itself In ideas, Intelligence,
consciousness. Thus it Is th° basis
of all manifestation, the principle and
Intelligence of the universe.
"This divine actuality is *ho scien
tiflc basis on which ail Christian heal
ing is demonstrated, the divine Prin
ciple whose unlimited power is uti
lized in the overcoming of sin and
sickness.
"This, then. Is one of the Initial and
essential steps In the Science of Chris
tian healing — the recognition of 'ho
unreality of ail that which Is unlike
God, that it has but a seeming and
not an actual existence.
“The order of scientific Christia’i
healing, therefore, is expressed fiist,
in the knowing of perfect God and
perfect man, followed by the recog
nition of the erroneous nature of din
ease, sin and all that is unlike God.
then In the application of absolute
truth to the elimination of error, so
that right, harmonious conditions nify
be established. .
"Christian Science is the renais
sance of Christianity, the re-blrtli and
re-establishment of a scientific, dem
onstrable basis, of the ChristianPy
which Christ Jesus taught and prac
tlced. It Is the fulfilment of his mis
sion of bringing to the world savla
tlon from sin, sickness and death. Its
modest achlevertrents of today prove
the truth of its principle and rule anil
enable any sincere seeker to begin to
live it. It Is a clarion call to eve;y
aspiring heart, to awaken to the pres
ent privilege of freedom and spiritual
authority over human ills, and to
demonstrate that the day of human re
demptlon Is at hand."
RICH STRIKE IT
VALDEZ, July 12. — S. L. Oliver
and H. B. Cooper returned last even
ing from Barry arm and report the
discovery and location of an extreme
ly rich gold quartz vein. They brought
with them some handsome specimens
of the ore, which are studded with
free gold, and will assay to a very
high value.
The claims were located July 4,
since which date Messrs. Oliver and
Cooper have done some little work in
stripping the lead. The vein is 27 <
inches in width, and has been stripped
for a distance of 70 feet, values being
obtained over the entire distance. The
total length of the ve^j is unknown,
the remainder being covered by earth. '
Messrs. Oliver and Cooper havej,
known of the existence o/ this lead
for the past two years and have hunt
ed for it before. They found consid
erable float, but never succeeded in
finding the ledge until a few days
ago. They are very much elated over
their find, and state that the surface
showing is as rich or richer than any
thing that has yet been found in that
district.
The claims are located about five
miles up from the mouth of Barry
arm, and are about a mile from the
water, but over level ground over
which a pack horse can be taken right .
up to the vein.
Messrs. Oliver and Cooper are also
the locators of the valuable Hobo and
California claims at Hobo bay, which
are now underbond to outside capi
talists.—Prospector.
