0! The Mother Church, The First
Church of Christ, Scientist,
in Boston, Mass.
The Discoverer and Founder 01
Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy
has written on page 428 of Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
tures, the textbook of Christian
Science, this important statement
“We must realize the ability of men
tal might to offset human miscon
captions and to replace them with
the life which is spiritual, not matte
rial.” Christian Science shows men
how to utilize mental might, or the
power of God, to destroy sin, heal
disease, and understanding eternal
life. Its message is therefore a heal
ing and a loving message. It comes
to tell of the goodness and love of
God and to show you how you and I
may immediately benefit therefrom.
I am going to begin the lecture by
telling you of a healing which re
cently came to my attention, a heal
ing which is a fair example ol what
is taking place wherever Christian
-Science is studied and faithfully ap
plied. A lady living in Indiana be
gan to have difficulty with her
lungs in 1917, Her condition became
steadily worse until in the tall of
191S she was compelled to give ui
her home duties and enter a sanita
rium, where she was placed in the
tubercular ward. She continued to
have medical attention until late in
1919 all the physicians who diag
nosed her difficulty agreeing that sht
had tuberculosis in its advanced
stage. They declared she had nc
more than a year to live. In th«
spring of 1921 she went to Utah hop
ing that the climate would benefit
her. She was confined to her bed
and could make no exertion without
its bringing on severe hemorrhages.
While in this condition a neighbor
left with her a copy of Science and
Health, explaining briefly the funda
mental teachings of Christian Sci
once. For a few days the dook re
mained unopened. She had little
faith that anything could cure her.
The lady asked her husband if he
believed the book would help hei.
He said he kuew nothing about it,
but that Christ Jesus had healed
without drugs many years ago. She
began to read and ponder this lit
tle book. Her strength returned
with what seemed astonishing quick
ness and within less than a week
she was able to leave her bed and
resume her household duties. \\ ithin
a month every symptom of the dis
ease had disappeared, never to re
M appeaar. This lady very recently
submitted to a severe medical exam
ination and no trace ot the disease
was to be found,
in bringing this healing to your
attention I would emphasize the point
that a disease regarded as a most
serious malady was completely heal
ed through the change oi thought
brought about in the patient’s con
sciousness by the reading of Science
and Health. This fact naturally leads
the inquirer to ask, What was the
nature of the change? What does this
textbook of Christian Science teach
that so powerfully affects the thought
and condition of men? In the short
time we are to be together I shall
endeavor to answer, in some mea
sure, these questions.
GOD IS MIND
Christian Science teaches that God
is Mind. The very corner-stone of
Christian Science is that man is not
separate from God. He is united to
God. He is linked to Deity. But
how can this be. Have you ever
stopped to consider where your good
thoughts come from, your right de
siire, and high ideals? You do not
originate them yourself. You accept
them as the correct expression of
4. being, but their origin is greater than
yourself. Christian Science shows
us that this source of all good
thoughts is the one Mind, named God.
Since God is Mind He is as near as
Mind is, and Mind is always present
here and everywhere. Man is linked
to God because his true individuality
1 is the expression of God. Man lives
to express God. Could he have a
grander destiny! As this founda
tional fact that God and man are
inseparably united in being, thought,
and action becomes more fully un
derstood it brings to us that sense
of life in which health is natural,
and harmony and happiness the only
order of being.
It is, of course, apparent that what
we term the devil or evil opposes the
supremacy of good, denies that man
has unity with God, and disputes the
statement that there is but one true
Mind or God with the assertion that
there is another mind which fills
the consciousness of men with fear,
hate, selfishness, sin, and disease. If
evil’s claim to place and power is
legitimate all thought of progress
and deliverance must be abandoned
and we must accept the works of
evil, sin, disease, hatred and war as
effacing the works of God and find
ourselves without effective means to
overthrow them. But is evil’s claim
valid? Christian Science answers
with a positive NO.
THE NATURE OF EVIL
When talking with a group of his
countrymen in Jerusalem one morn
ing some twro thousand years ago,
Christ Jesus drew a very definite
line between the devil and God. He
told them bluntly, “Ye are of your
^ father the devil.” He was desiring
^ to awaken them to their wrong state
of mind which was filled with
thoughts of pride, self-righteousness,
i
selfishness and so on. They had been
boasting that God was their father,
but Jesus contradicted them with
the statement, “II God were your
father, ye would love me.” (John
VIII, 42). In other words, if you
were expressing the Mind that is
God you would see and love the
good which I express. The word
Father, so often used by Jesus, is
another name for God, the parent
Mind. His opponents were accept
ing evil as the source of their think
ing. so accepting the devil as their
father, or starting point, for there
is no devil, but evil mentality—the
carnal mind. Then Jesus went on
to explain to them that the devil
or evil does not abide in the truth
for—to use his own words—“he is
a liar, and the fathe rof it.” (John
8, 44). Here is an uncovering of
the nature of evil, a false state
of mind with no more substance than
a lie, for it is nothing but a lie or
liar.
Jesus, however, never said that
they could not be rid of this worng
mindedness. Just the opposite, %for
he said, "If ye continue in my word,
then are ye my disciples indeed; and
ye shall know' the truth, and the
truth shall make you free.” (John
8, 31-32). This word was his cor
rect teaching and thinking, thinking
not merely about God, but accepting
God’s thoughts. To continue in this
word would be to follow in the same
mental processes that Jesus used,
accepting no Father, but divine Mind
and ~ ever entertained the thoughts
which manifest this Mind. As all
men come to think only the thoughts
which are good we shall all be wit
nesses and ambassadors of God, to
use the wrords of Paul, and evil will
be cast into its utter nothingness.
There is but one way to destroy a
lie, be it small or great, and that
is to become conscious of the truth.
Jesus affirmed this when he designat
ed evil a lie and said the way to be
free from it is to understand the truth
of being.
MORTAL SELF NOT THE TRUE
We all need to let go of the mis
taken sense that man is but a few
pounds of flesh, blood, and bones with
a mental motor inside. He is some
thing far more subtantial and Godlike
than that. When we look into a mir
ror we believe we see ourself but we
do not, and how fortunate it is that
the picture we see is not our true
self. Said Bishop Foster, “No man liv
inghath yet seen man.” What we see
in the looking glass is but the mortal
or wrong sense of selfhood, a bur
lesque of our eternal self. This per
ishable sense of self is gradually
abandoned, as Jesus showed us, thru
the realization of the actuality of
spiritual life and spiritual manhood,
the expression of God.
GOD IS VERY NEAR
Where do we find God? Right
where Elijah did, in the still small
voice deep down in our hearts. It is
here that right desire speaks, it is
here that we feel the promptings of
Truth and Love, the guiding hand of
God, that would turn us from evil
and hate, from sin and disease, would
we but listen and obey, it is right
here, unseen and unheard by the
world, that mortal selfishness, pride,
fear and all wrongmindedness must
be placed on the altar of sacrifice.
Our relations to God is discerned
when we see with Paul that it s God
who worketh in us, that governs our
thinking, “to will and to do of His
good pleasure.” (Phil. 2, 13). Surely
the activity of the Mind that is God
is more apparent than ever before
in the consciousness of men and na
tions. What but this Mind could
league together mor ethan two-score
nations in co-operative endeavor for
the world’s good and establish an
international court of justice where
the disputes of nations may be set
tled and international law be brought
more fully into accord with the uni
versal law of God.
The owner of a radio receiving ap
paratus may by a slight movement
of a knob, adjust his receiver so as
to receive messages from the sending
station whose messages he considers
the most beneficial to him. So in
the realm of thought the individual
may quickly adjust his thinking (his
receiving apparatus, if you will) to
receive the good thoughts which God
is always sending to man. When all
listen only to the thought messages
of God and never listen-in to the
messages of evil, sin, sickness, and
fear will be without a place, and
the lcindom of heaven will be found
within our own thinking.
WHERE TO BEGIN
Someone may ask, “Just how am I
i to begin to think the thoughts of
|God?” This is the same question that
| was asked by those who heard the
j words of John the Baptist. They
, asked. “What shall we do then ?”
i (Luke 3, 10). And let us learn from
| John’s answer. “He that hath two
I coats, let him impart to him that
j hath none, and he that hath meat,
Met him do likewise.” In other words
llet those who wish to begin thinking
aright begin right where they are to
s! ow a spirit of love and considera
tion for their brother and shav ? with
IMm whatever good has come to
•TThm. Then as the Bible story con
tinues, some publicans, the officials
who collected the taxes, came to John
and wsked what they should do, and
the wise answer was, “Exact no more
than that which is appointed you.”
In other words be just and honest
with your brother in all your deal
ings with him. Then some soldiers
came with the same question and
they were told to do no violence, to
accuse none falsely and be content
with what they had. Thus they were
to begin by being servants of peace,
not fomentors of strife and were to
be grateful for the good that had
come to them. So each one of us,
no matter what our place of occu
pation, no matter how hard our way
may seem to be, may begin right
where we are to think aright. There
is no other place to start from.
THE POWER OF PRAYER
But how, says one, do you master
the persistent suggestions of sin or
sickness which sometimes press them
selves on your thought? By the
prayer of right thinking. Prayer is
a mental activity which the world
has engaged in for many centuries
but in too many instances it has
been used as a cloak to cover a
wicked heart or as a blind petition
to a little understood God. Christian
Science shows that true prayer is
the process of scientific thinking,
the thinking that unites men with
and is the living expression of the
Mind that is God. To a Christian
Scientist prayer is a most vital and
active influence ever operative in
thoughtt, the chain of true spiritu
ality which links him to his Maker.
Through prayer man gains his God
given dominion over evil. Let us
first see what it is that evil falsely
claims and then see how the Chris
tian Scientist mentally combats and
overthrows it. Te claim might be
phrased in some such way as this, I
die evil mind working with and
through matter, am ’he cause and
origin of mart. Through my material
processes and laws I conceive him
and give him life. Upon me he is
dependent for all that he has or is.
I order his destiny, cause him to
succeed and then to fail, to be
healthy and then diseased, to be
happy and then sorrowful, to be
rich and then poor, to be tempted,
to sin, and to die. To me and the
fear of me, he is ever tributary. I
rule him by suggestions and lying ar
guments which I have made him to
blind to uncover and resist. He is
my puppet and manikin, moved at
my will. I puff him up with pride
and turn him from God with selfish
ness and self will. Though my pow
er is nil I pretend to have all powei
and he believes my pretension. My
self and my works are the blending
of falsity and negation, but so long
as man believes in me I work, when
he awakes to my nature I am done.
Christian Science replies to this ly
ing mind in the words of Truth and
with the authority of God, You are
a pretender, a liar and a cheat.
Without authority from God you
claim to have creative power, power
to give and to take life, to make
and to destroy. But the one sure
thing about you is that you lie al
ways. There is no truth in you and
you have no ability to substitute
our lying claims for the truth. You
are without God and so without life
j or reality. Man’s true selfhood is
the expression of God and you are
powerless to dispossess God of his
representative. By your unreal na
ture you place yourself outside God's
infinitude, and consign you and yours
to oblivion. Your sickness, sins, mal
ice, and strifes must flee as false
dream pictures before the light and
might of God’s love expressed in the
thought of men. You are impotent tc
reach anything that God has made
You simulate life and action, but
you do not possess or have power
over either, for life and action be
long to God and are spiritual. You
hate or lust upon your own, you prey
upon your own misconceptions, but
you have no eye to see the creation
pr the creatures of God.
u v vj 11, v iL<
It' a Christian Scientist is con
fronted with what may be called an
inherited disease how shall he think?
In some such way as this, Man as
God has made him is altogether
good and has no fear of sickness
or evil in any form. He derives his
entire life from God and is ^there
fore naturally Godllte. The claim ot
evil, that it is mind and life, the
cause and condition of man, if false
Matter has never made man and
can never unmake him, for he is
co-existent with God. Evil’s asser
tion that it can impose sickness on
man through the belief of human
hereditty is without divine sanction,
justice, or right and cannot stand.
Since God, Mind, not matter, makes
and constitutes man, man inherits
only from God, good. Said John,
“Now are we the sons of God.” (I
John , 2). And Paul wrote to the
Romans, “We are the children of
God; and if children, then heirs;
heir of God, and joint heirs with
Chirst.” (Romans 8, 16-17). This in
heritance brings to man permanent
health, happiness and well-being.
Through the realization of these facts
of spiritual being the claims of evil
are compelled to yield and give way,
and the bodily condition becomes
healthy and painless.
You will see, I think, that the
practice of Christian Science is.but
the displacing in thought of the evil
and erroneous sense of life with the
true and harmonious facts of the
God-appointed sense of life. It is
simple in method, but it requires
courage, honesty and perseverance.
The reward is great for the world
knows no joy comparable with the
unselfish joy of sin conquesed, sick
ness healed, "burdens lifted, through
the understanding of God. Hundreds
of thousands are winning their men
tal victories over every form of sick
ness, discord, and sin. You can do
the same.
THE MISSION OF CHRIST JESUS
Perhaps the work of freeing our
selves from material laws may seem
a large undertaking. We may not
be able to fold our tents and leave
the deserts of wrong thinking in a
night, but we can at least be on
the move. Let us remember often
that howsoever steep the way may
seem it has been explored before us
by the Wayshower, Christ Jesus, who
nullified every material law and
proved that individual man by his
right mental effort may and must

American Aid Coming
Says Secretary Hughes
NEW YORK, Aug. 8.—American
assistance in necessary measures for
the economic rehabilitation of Eur
ope may be counted upon, Secretary
Hughes of the United States said in
this city today upon his arrival from
an Euro-pean tour.
‘“It does not matter that this aid
is not given by the government,”
Mr. Hughes continued. “I may give
it as my conviction that had had we
attempted to make America’s con
tributions to the recent plan of ad
justment of a governmental matter,
we should have been involved in a
hopeless debate and there would have
been no adequate action.
“We have been beset with de
mands, objections, instructions. This
is not the way to make an American
contribution to economic revival.
“You have the Dawes plan and
you have had the participation of
American experts with the liberty of
constructive effort, which was es
sential because it was undertaken in
the only way in which success was
possible. When you deal with eco
nomic rehabilitation you doubtless
have in mind such contribution as
America may be able to give in dis
interested advice and later in par
ticipation in the absolutely essential
plan.”
FIELD REPRESENTATIVE
RED CROSS IN SEWARD
Miss Yeteve Eames Taake, field
representative for the Pacific divi
sion of the American Red Cross, with
headquarters at San Francisco arriv
ed on the Northwestern Monday to
confer with the local Chapter with
reference to the Delano Nursing Ser
ivce.
Miss Stella Fuller also reached Se
ward arriving- from the westward on
the Starr. Miss Fuller is placed in
the Seward Chapter by the Jane De
lano Fund. This fund is created thru
the will of Miss Delano who was a
Red Cross nurse and the organizer
of the Reel ’Cross Nursing Service.
These nurses .about forty thousand in
number, are the reserve force for the
Army and Navy. They are also call
ed upon for service in any disaster
and many are doing public health
nursing. Miss Delano wished the iso
lated places to have the service of
such workers. The demonstration is
made with the idea of the local Chap
ter taking over the work as soon as
the finances can be arranged.
The Delano fund has taken the en
tire financial responsibility, covering
salary and traveling expenses until
Jan. 1, 1924- Since that time the lo
cal Chapter has taken care of the
traveling expenses except when the
nurse went to San Francisco for me
dical attention. The nurse pays her
own living expenses in Seward and
when she is in the Branches .
The local chapter acts in an ad
visory capacity to the nurse and car
ries on the other phases of chapter
work, such as the Home Service
work and Junior Red Cross work.
Miss Taake is making an investi
gation at the request of the Delano
Committee and will report on the
extent of the value of the nursing
sendee in this particular territory
and the advisability of continuing the
service . Miss Fuller has now made
trips to the westward and finds that
the work is limited because of the
lack of facilities and medical service
to complete the work that she finds
needed. A meeting will be held at
the C. P. McMullen store tonight at
9 o'clock to discuss the matter and it
is urged that a good attendance mav
be had.
The Post War work is important
part of every chapter’s program. The
Bonus forms have been received and
applications for adjusted compensa
tion may be filed now. Forms may
be secured fi*om the local chapter of
the Red Cross and if any assistance
is wished in filling in the forms it
will be gladly given. Every ex-ser
vice man is a^responsibility of the
Red Cross until every claim he has
against the government has been ad
justed £nd should there be any ques
tions on the minds of any of them,
Miss Taake will be glad to have the
ex-service men call at the Hotel and
she will talk over the problems care
fully.
