the only panacea that Is good enough for the aching heart hEart of man And it is isto isto isto to this same self same sef-same religion of Jesus Jesu that Christian Christan Science E this great twentieth century religious movement turns the I sick and ami weary of earth Christian Christan Science is not a modern philosophy not the product of a a. fertile fertie human brain It I is the

post pos- pos t a deeply religious nature She I was a keen ken analytical thinker and I long ong ng before beor the te liht ot of Christia Scie Science ce dawned upon her thought she was an n earnest seeker after truth She sought it in medicine and in every ever theory advanced by the human mind at that time but from no human source could she find help when In the year 1866 she seemed near the door of death Then it I Vas was vas she called caned for her Bible lan Many another sufferer has done this thi especially when the last laft enemy appears not rot far distant from the bed of pain But Mary Mar Baker Eddy did not open her Bible to find therein comforting passages passages passages pas pas- sages relating to the after life She sought In its Is sacred pages the promise of healing the promise of deliverance through reliance on divine power and anti she turned to this verse in the ninth chapter of Matthew Mathew And behold they brought to him a aman aman aman man sick of the palsy lying lyIng on a bed anti and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy Son be of good I cheer thy sins be forgiven thee Speaking of this experience In one of I I her writings she says that as she read the healing Truth dawned upon her sense ense and she was enabled to rise from ane her supposed death bed with a realization realization tion ton of health and strength Miscellaneous

the vital vial Import of its message message message mes mes- sage Let us consider the verses following following following fol fol- fol- fol lowing that to which Mrs Eddy turned And behold certain of the scribes said within themselves This man blas- blas And Jesus knowing their thoughts said W Wherefore evil in your hearts For whether is easier to say sayS Th Thy sins be bp forgiven thee or t tsay

po go fO unto thine house A And Aid d he arose and departed to his house In the light of Mrs Eddys Eddy's tel teachings chinAs we can discern plainly that the healing of sin and the healing of sickness were one and th the same samp to the Master Do you ou not believe beleve that It I Is possible for fora a sinner to be instantaneously awakened from the nightmare of sin If through the crust of his seared Reared mentality ca can can break a el team deem earn of the of ot a a. amore more spiritual sense Then you must concede that the sick man can be as speedily restored and by the same method that Is If you accept Jesus Jesus' I statement in the passage from Matthew For whether is easier ealer to say Thy sins be he forgiven thee or to say Arise and walk THE DISCOVERER A WOMAN WOMAN- Occasionally one Ole hears this question queston Ast asked ed Why should a woman have hav been the discoverer of an eternal truth The most effective answer to this query may be obtained in a book entitled The Life of Mary Baker Eddy by Sibyl Wilbur This work Is an authentic tic tc record of Mrs Eddys Eddy's career and anti may be found In most public libraries and In every Christian Christan

periods in the establishment establishment establish establish- ment of the cause of Christian Christan Science when you read of her persecutions ho how she was ridiculed and reviled and ur urged ed to drop the nonsense as It was called caled you will wi see that the leader of this movement had to be ha a woman had to possess the instincts of the mother who wo clings to her child when all an others forsake forsake forsake for for- sake it i had to be endued with wih the fortitude fortitude for for- and faith and which are the inherent possessions o oa of ofa ofa a spiritually minded woman I shall not attempt to speak for any man other than myself but I shall shan tell tel yoU vou very j I frankly why I did not discover Christian Christan Science It I was because I did not know enough was not possessed of sufficient spiritual because I did not search serch the Scriptures yearn and pray for light as did this devout woman In fact fact until beginning the study of Christian Christan Science It I was not my habit to indulge Indulge In any deep thinking alon aIon religious lines I accepted the inherited doctrinal teachings teachings of my church very ver much as I accepted my given name and features with no questioning and little analysis You have heard probably ot 01 the old fisherman who was asked how he passed the time during the long winters winters winters win win- when the frozen waters precluded the possibility of plying his trade Well Vel said he sometimes we set home and think and sometimes we Just set set Is it i not painfully true that this describes the mental status of many of ofus ofus ofus us as regards the deep things of life Christian Christan Science bids us awake from this lethargy and accept the divine In Invitation ln- ln n- n chronicled In Isaiah
