Show Lecture. Synopsis The claims of Christian Science on the modern world are the claims of Christian Science on the prehistoric age. the ancient age, the medieval age. the present age, and the age to come. Christian Science makes no unreasonable claims on the modern world; its claims are based upon the spirit of Love, Life and Truthf and this is reflected in health, kindness, charity and good will to all. It is not a discovery of a new truth but a new discovery of an old truth. It is the law of eternal Life, divine Principle; and is therefore the Science of sciences, sci-ences, the religion of religions, and the church of all churches. It teaches the scientific fact "of a perfect per-fect God and a perfect creation as the basis of every conclusion. Christian Science takes nothing from the world, but gives all to the world. In the place of war we find peace; and universal peace is raised to the dawn of that glad day "when all shall dwell together, one shepherd shep-herd and one fold." Christian Science takes the world where it finds it, and raises the lower to the higher, and the higher still higher. It not only heals mortals of sikness, but it corrects the world of such a thing as sickness. It not only heals individuals of sin and iniquity, but it corrects the world of such a thing as sin and iniquity. As the problem In mathematics is found after af-ter the solution to be not only perfect per-fect and correct, likewise man in Christian Science is found after the solution of the problem not only to be perfect like the Father, but always al-ways to have been perfect; that the errors of human belief never were true any more than the errors of the mathematical problem were true. j The so-called laws of health which ! civilization makes and breaks, and yet builds upon are as . changeable and unreliable as the wind that blows. They are no more the laws of GotFthan the laws of evil are the laws of good, or the law of wrong is the law of right. Christian Science shows that the error of the ages is in having two powers, one of good" and the other of evil; and this belief beclouds the eye of reason, shuts out the true understanding under-standing of life, and seemingly robs man of his God-given inheritance. As time goes on and the great facts of eternal Life as taught in Christian Science, the Science of Life, are better bet-ter understood and more perfectly demonstrated, the name of Mary Baker Ba-ker Eddy, the discoverer and founder found-er of Christian Science, and the author au-thor of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." will stand out in the world's great history like a star of the first magnitude; and she herself will he honored and loved for what she has done for mankind and for the world. |
