Christian Science
the Liderator of Mankind
i
By JOHN RANDALL DUNN. C. S.
La-l owning at Masonic loll an
j jauillence which completely tilled that
j comfortable tempi*' assembled in lis
| ten to a lecture on Christian Science
' le. 1'rotessor John it.'nil ill liillin. C
j S it. ol SI. Louis, Mu, inemli'T of
the Hoard of Lectureship "l The
Mother Church. The First Chinch of
Christ, Scientist, in Boitlon, Mass. He
is a man of commanding apearance, a
fluent and most interesting speaker,
who thoroughly understands his .sub
ject mutter The lecturer was In
troduced liy A. J. Adams and the fol
lowing excerpts arc from his speech:
The widespread interest in the sub
ject of Christian Science. In this and
other lands, is traceable directly to the
I fact that enslaved mortals are llnding
I Jn Its spiritual teaching that liberator
graphically pictured by Isaiah as sent
"to preach the gospel of good tidings
Dinio the meek: • • • to hind up
I the broken-hearted, to proclaim lib
erty to the captives, and the opening
of the prison to them that arc bound"
The attempts of some misinformed
critics to prove that Christian Sci
ence is not Ibis liberator, that the
sick are not healed, the sinning re
formed nor the sorrowing comforted
through Its ministrations, are of
course of little moment in the pres
ence of an ever increasing host of
witnesses testifying to the fact that
whereas they were bound physically,
mentally or morally, now they are ex
perleneing through the teachings of
Christian Science a greater measure
of health, freedom and happiness than
I they have ever known.
Mr*. Eddy
As lo that revered gentlewoman,
[through whose spiritual vision the
simple, healing truths o£ the Bible
are today made available for those
v.ho sit in darkness, I may say only
this: Her character needs no de
fense at human hands. By her fruits
shal! she he known. History is re
plete with annals wherein arc recorded
the unreasoning and unfounded mis
representation which has inevitably
pursued the apostle of a new idea.
Kven the immaculate Jesus did not
lei-eape Think of it! blind, perverted
• material sense said of him, "He is a
• | w ine bibber, a glutton, a friend of
| publicans and sinners!" Mr. lOddy
[writes In Science and Health I p. I’.Xi:
[ "Remember, tiiou Christian martyr, it
[is enough if thou art found worthy to
! unloose the sandals of thy Master's
feet! To suppose that persecution
for righteousness' sake belongs to the
past, and that Christianity today is at
peace with the world because It is
honored by sects ami societies is tc
mistake the very nature of religion.
Krror repeats itself. The trials en
countered by prophet, disciple and
apostle, of whom the world was not
| worthy,' await, in some form, every
pioneer of truth ”
:i Mrs. Eddy’s Discovery
: Christian Scientists know that Mrs
Eddy did not originate Christian Sci
ence; she discovered it, brought It to
light. The balm of (Ulead which she
has revealed for the healing of the
nations is not of her creating, nor Is
it a restatement of ancient or modern
material philosophy. It is the simple,
unadulterated spiritual teaching of
Jesus and the prophets who preceded
him To this assertion some may say,
"But I believe, and have been endeav
oring to follow, the teachings of Jesus
all my life." Yes, this is unfortu
- nately the remarkable predicament of
:1 Christian peoples today; hundreds of
| differing sects acknowledge Jesus as
their guide and king, and then pro
ceed to place their human interpre
tation upon his words and works.
This leads to endless diversity of
opinion and the sad differences
among Christians, causing one to say,
"! believe this,” another, "My belief
is that " Yet the plain fact of the
matter is this: It matters not what
a any man or set of men believes about
1 Jesus' teaching. The all-important
I point is. What was Jesus' actua
teaching'.’ What did he believe and
^ teach? is there to he found in his
word a practical present day salva
tion for vou and me?
Salvation
In once asked a woman seeking
i help in Christian Science if she un
derstood the meaning of the word "sal
ration." "Indeed I do." was her re
sponse "1 was saved when 1 was
eighteen " "From what were yot
saved?" I ventured to inquire. "Why
I was saved," she explained. “Yot:
know Jesus died to save me." "Ti
j save you from what?" I persisted
Have you been saved from sin all
these year."7" "No." she admitted
honestly. "I run not ay that l have.’
"Have you been saved from sickness?"
"No," she replied sadly, "1 have been
, a terrible sufferer for years" "Hid
| your salvation Include deliverance
; from heartache* from fear, from
I worry, from poverty?" ‘ No. «he
said; "I suppose my salvation was re.
| served entirely for the future life.1
Jesus' Definite Instructions
Is it not strange, this seemingly
universal misunderstanding among
professing Christians regarding the
teachings of Jesus upon this vital
point? Many Christian denominations
unite in teaching the attainment of
heaven and of spirituality through
death, as well as the possibility of an
eternal punishment for those who
have strayed Now the fact of the
matter is that such notions have ab
solutely no connection with Jesus’
fe rhings Mefore his corning the
; Jews believed that the faithful were
I gathered to Abraham's bosom. Jesus
would have brought no new message
had he taught tin* gaining of heaven
I through dying. The Chinese have al*
| ways believed in an after life, and
even the Indians have clung to a nope
! in a happy hunting ground. Let us
I examine the instructions given " y
Jesus to his students, as recorded in
the tenth chapter of Matthew; "C»o
* • • to the lost sheep of the house
of Israel And as ye go. preach, say
ing. The kingdom of heaven is at,
hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lep
ers. raise the dead, east out dev.is;
freely have ye received, freely give.
Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor
brass In your purses. • • • for
the workman is worthy of his meat."
"The kingdom of heaven Is a*
hand"! In the Christian Science text
book we read that heaven is harmony.
Therefore the message of the Savior,
which indeed is good tidings of great
joy to the bound and afflicted of earth,
is that harmony, deliverance, salva
tion are at hand, and are to he real
,mr thought from the material and lay
hold on the spiritual facts of being.
And let us now see how intensely
practical and available becomes the
salvation taught by Jesus, in the light
ol the teachings of Christian Science.
Believing Material Testimony
In this connection let us consider
a simple illustration, although all ma
i terial comparisons are necessarily in
(adequate Suppose at an early age
the son of an American is taken to
| China. Living for years under the
! hot sun in the rice fields, the little
i fellow becomes tanned like a native,
tile speaks the Chinese language,
adopts the Chinese mode of dress He
forgets his American antecedents be
cause kept In ignorance as to his pa
rentage. Some time later a friend in
stitutes a search for him and locates
him. "Do you know who you are?”
asks a friend, through an interpreter.
The young man gives his Chinese
name "That is not you real name,”
replies the friend "You have an Kng
j lish name, for you are In truth a
native-born citizen of the United
States." But the other looks at his
Chluese appearance, accepts as truth
that which he sees and that which he
has been erroneously taught, and
shakes his head unconvinced. It may
require not a little patient, persistent
effort on the part of the friend to
awaken the mistaken one to the facts
of his case, because the appearance
argues so strongly against such facts.
And so it is with us. Victimized by
Ignorance of the true Clod and the
true man. the true Father, and the
true son. mortals have accepted this
material, Adam-view of creajion They
speak the language of materiality.
They adopt the customs of the rnce
of Adam in expecting and experiencing
sin, sickness, trouble, imperfection,
old age and death. And when Chris
tian Science, the best friend mortal
man evr had. finds him and says
with infinite compassion. "Let tue tell
you the truth about yourself—the truth
about your real selfhood You are a
citizen of the kingdom of Mind. You
are in truth God's spiritual creation,
whose office is to express harmony,
perfect action and unchanging law
You are in fact not that which you
seem to be, but the deathless, perfect
image of your Maker"—when this
awakening message is given the mor
tal generally looks at his mortality,
accepts as real and true that which
he sees with his eyes und hears with
his eurs. and says with couvictiou:
'No, you are mistaken The truth
about man is that in* is material, sick,
poverty stricken, unhappy, and what
■ nior* he knows it."
“Judg- Righteous Judgment"
Now it is f|uit•* evident in both the
■ase ni the American hov in China
and t'ic mortal, that in order t'» ascer
I f»in tin truth ol things he must lmd.
j away Imm the physical appearance
I an<l discern the fa< t rather than the
| seeming And because he showed how
•his could he done Jesus became the
practical Savior and Way-Tinwrr of
humanity Foretelling the coming of
the saving Christ, Isaiah wrote. He
shall not judge after the sight of his
eyes, neither reprove after the hear
ing of his ears hut with righteous
ness shall he Judge * • • " Then
Jesus, epitomizing his mighty mes
sage in unmistakable language, said,
"Judge Mfj* according to the appear
ance, hut judge righteous judgment,•*
I and Christian Science U today mak
ing available this vital but long over
looked Christian teaching.
Christian Science Healing
Let me read from the textbook a
j few' of the instructions there given
as to the treatment of disease, which
instructions are in strict accord with
the statement of Jesus just read
"When the tlrst symptoms of dis
ease appear, dispute the testimony of
the material senses with divine Sci
ence. Let your higher sense of jus
tice destroy the false process of mor
tal opinions which you name law. and
then you will not be confined to a
sick-room nor laid upon a bed of suf
fering in payment of the last farth
ing, the last penalty demanded by
error • • • Suffer no claim of
sin or of sickness to grow upon the
thought Dismiss it with an abiding
conviction that it is illegitimate, be
cause you know that Hod is no more
the author of sickness than He is of
sin." (Science and Health, p 39** )
"Keep in mind the verity of being
that man is the image and likeness of
God, in whom all being is painless
and permanent. Remember that man s
I>erfeetion is real and unimpeachable,
whereas imperfection is blameworthy,
unreal, and is not brought about by
divine Love." (Science and Health,
p. 414.)
"Rise in the conscious strength of
the spirit of Truth to overthrow the
plea of mortal mind, alias matter, ar
rayed against the supremacy of Spirit.
