Science makes no claim which it can
not substantiate and so. In this day
of advance In every department of
human activity, It Is demonstrating
Its right to be known as the religion
of progress.
Not that God, who constitutes the
basis, foundation, and principle of
all true religion, ever changes or
progresses; not that the teachings
of Jesus the Christ, the founder of
Christianity, need to be revised or
the Hible rewritten. We read in the
Scriptures that with God there Is
neither varlbleness nor shadow of
turning; we also believe that the pre
cepts and warnings of Jesus can nev
er become antiquated, and that the
Hible of our fathers, the great
treasure-house of Christendom,
when spiritually interpreted by
' Chi'iK(l;(ii Science suffices for our
dally needs. The thread of gold
which gleams throughout the fabric
of the Hible will shine forth forever
to he apprehended by the receptive
thought everywhere.
So It Is not a new bible which
Christian Science contemplates, but
one and the samo Bible, explained in
a spiritual, progressive manner. It
Is not a new God which It proclaims,
but the only true God, our Father
which is in Heaven. It makes no at
tempt at an Improved Christ, for
there is but one Christ, who Is in
the bosom of the Father, perfect,
efernul and Indestructible. Christian
Science Is progressive, and marks an

Mr. McCracken spoko In part as

the strong light of science upon the
nature and attributes of Deity, upon
the teachings and works of the
Christ, uud because it picks out from
tho Illble's make-up tho essential im
perishable import of its spiritual
message. f
Christian Science calls upon man-'
kind for a frank and fearless revls- ,
Ion of its own beliefs about the un
changing God, His man and His uni
verse. This age, which Is not afraid
to fly In the face of the sun on filmy
wings, Is asked to display the neces
sary courage to pass in review the
things which pertain to Its own sal
vation from false gods. Why should
not right and Just views concerning
God and His universe be capable of
more precise statement? Why should
it be thought a thing unreasonable
with any one that God can become
better understood by Hie average
man than has been In the past? Why
should not the understanding how to
grow in grace, how to deein and
broaden one's spiritual concepts, pro
gress according to law. And why
should not this knowledge concern
ing the fountatnhead of alt know
ledge, the giver of nil good gifts,
the absolute eternal principle of all
Life, in whom we live, and move.
n,nd Ihnve our be'ijg why should
not this knowledge constitute dem
onstrable Science?
Christian Ccientists bolierg that It
does; that Jesus pointed out the only
true, final and real knowledge when
he said. "And this is life eternal,
that they might know thee, (he only
true God, and Jesus Christ, whom
thou bast sent."

If god is Spirit, then the real man
of His creation, who has made in His

must be spirit. hU faculties must be
