Leonard. C. S. 13. a member of the Hoard of Lectureship of The Mother Churuh, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston., Mass., at the church edifice. The lecture was heard by a large crowd and all were interested in the fine message. The text of the address in part fol lows: Whenever I think or hear of that quotation from John, "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free," 1 likewise think of the question asked of Jesus, "What Is truth?" And perhaps the most in teresting thing, so far as I am con cerned, in the entire quotation, Is the fact that Jesus did not answer that question, lie practically said: If in view of everything that you have known to be done In Judea under my ministry you are still ask ing the question, "What is truth?" then no words would ever convey one single Item of information on that point. Now, Trtitu is one Truth. In my recent lecture tour in Europe, a very eminent divine In the Luther an Church remarked that It was dangerous; to say God is Truth, be cause, he said, there are so many truths that it would be a question as to which one Cod Is. That was a theological opinion, but It was not Christian. All the human opinions on the face of the earth as to what constitute Truth may be wrong. There are millions of human opln j Inns, but when we begin to limit Truth, when we begin to say that ; there Is this truth and that truth land the other truth, we are getting . away from the llible fact; which tells us that there is just oiie Truth, and that this Truth is God, the in finite One. j One of the questions that has , been asked very often is why we should assume that this revelation l had come through a woman of wnum no one una ever iieaiu ui iu that time, rather than through some of the men or women who lrad con secrated years of their lives to the ! study of the Hible. Well, really, we cannot answer that question. Only God can answer that. Hut we can say as did Christ Jesus: "I thank thee, O Father, Lord in heaven and i eath because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, land hast revealed them unto babes." i Mrs. Hddy assuredly conformed to i what a babe means In her loyalty to the teachings of the r.ible, In tak ing them as being absolutely true. When other children were hear j Ing the little fairy stories and 'things of that sort to which we all ! have loved to listen, Mrs. Eddy was hearing from her mother the history of things recorded In the Hible, the ! stories of true events. She clung to them as she grew up: then when she had reached mnturity she met I with an accident which the doctors i said would result fatally. All of her I friends accepted and believed this, I and her minister stopped to pray 1 with her In the morning, believing i as they all did, that she would not be on earth to be prayed with at the : termination of the morning service. After he had done his kindly loving work for her, she asked those with I whom she was staying to lve her ; her Bible and to leave her alone : with God. They did as she re'iueif ed. and when the minister stopped again to see If he could be of any assistance. Mrs. Kddy herself open ed the door to him, and stood be fore him for the first time since her girlhood perfectly well, normal and natural in every articular. The Illble tells us of many hap penings of that kind. Yes. and there are many events or ttiai sort nooui outside of Hible times. Hut what is the difference between those and Mrs. Eddy s case? This the others all accepted their healing to be a manifestation of a special dlapenss- i tion on the part of God, and the i next time they had a pain they took a pill. They thought their healings ; was a special occasion and that a ' special privilege had been riven i them to be specially made well by i the Word of God. Mrs. Eddy did i not accept this. We know in Chris ! tion Science thut there Is no such i thing In heaven or on earth as a 'special dispensation, because If w i believe what Jesus said, we know he : said that if we believe on him. we shall all do the works he did. lie intended therefore to say that It was not a special dispensation which had enabled him to do the-c things, but that it was a universal Kilt to men when they were willing to fol low God In his footsteps as he had taught them to do. Mrs. Eddy did not acept tier healing as a Kpeciai there was another power to which she might be subject, therefore that God mlcht not be omnipotent, om niscient and OBiniprexent. Then she became student ulght and day, week In and week ouf. month lu and month out, year in and year out. She studied. And what did she study T The Itible. It was the only book she had to study. No commen taries would help ber, nothing but a determined and consecrated effort to know the truth of being ia Its spiritual import until finally she began to get hold of the light of God lu Its eternal activity, so that she was able to heal others even as she had been healed, and thus she learned to know God een bet ter. She found herself able to tell others how to heal as she had been healed, and then her revealation fulfilled Itself when It came to her so clearly that she was able to put it down in words that you and I can grasp and understand and com prehend, so that as wo take what she said and go to our Illble with it. we, too, find the spirit of the Word of God which enables us to worship Him In spirit and in truth. and so fulfill His law. So we know by resuls that the revelation came to Mrs. Eddy and through her to the whole world. Mrs. Kddy has unfolded to us marvolous knowledge of God In the synonyms which she has given in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" for the word "God.' Many people have thought that they did not believe In God. but every one believes in God when he knows what He is; and so these synonyms which Mrs. Eddy has given to the world would eventually have been sufficient to have saved the entire world K she hud never written another thing. Now Mrs. Eddy, in using these synonyms, does not limit or consent to the truh of the statement that there are two kinds, or love, for in stance: one that may turn Into en vv, murder, and hatred; and the other tho love which Jesus Christ showed when he was enabled to say of those who were attempting to destroy him: "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." Mrs. Eddy teaches us that God Is Life. The llible teaches us that God Is Life. It says so In so many words Life, that Is without begin ning or without ending; Life, which manifests itself to be the eternal activity and creator; Life, that we are all longing and looking for. I have spoken to you of the teach ing that God and Truth are one, and we do know that nothing on earth can be accomplished if it be not for the realization of Truth which is changeless, and because we ull do believe In Truth, consequently we all do believe In God. Then Mrs. Kddy teaches us that God and Principle are one. A per son when he hears that statement very often will say: "Well, now, that is one of the objections that I have to some of the teachings of Christlnn Science, H takes my God away from me. and it gives me noth ing hut an ephemeral theory that I am to take and believe in." Mrs. Eddy tenches us that God and Principle are one, and, as I say that seems to be an abstract state ment, but It la not when we under stand It. What Is It that always brings to a successful issue, if pro perly used, every problem? Is It pri mary law tho rule of progression? Is that the problem, or tho solu tion? No. It is the principle or mathematics which underlies all mathematical problems on which tho superstructure of all harmon ious action is bullded, and of the re sult is the correct answer. It is in this method and manner that Mrs. Eddy uses She statement that God and Principle are one. She means that God Is the foundation, the llt ernl foundation of all that Is tr ie, and that on this foundation we build the superstructure wherein God, man, and the universe arc coincident and In co-agreement, nil of them manifesting elerniil Liie, Truth, and Love, which constitute God. Mrs. Eddy also teaches us that God and Mind are one. That has been a controverted point, perhaps more so than auy other of Mrs. Ed dy's teachings. I don't know why. There Isn't anything new In that statement or teaching. She has not propounded anything new for cur acceptance lu teaching that God and Mind are one. What does John say In opening his gospel? He says this: "In the be ginning was the Word, and the Word was with God. and the Word was God." On a simple analysis let us see where that statement leads us. so far as the foundation Is cno- cerned. ' What Is the word? The word Is the expression thut accompanies or precedes thought. Thought Is the ac tivity of Mind. Therefore, because this Is true. Mrs. Eddy's statement would be equally correct If It were used to say that In the begtntng was Mlrd. and Mind was with God, and Mind was God and then wo In stantly see why It Is Implored of us that we should let that Mind be lu us "which was also In Christ Jesus," and we see wrhat our Master meant when he said that It was not he that did these wonderful works but 'bat It was the Fa'her working in him who accomplished them. And. Incidentally, therefore, In further corroboration of the correctness of this teaching, let us revert to the first chapter of Genesis, wherein we read: "God said and It was so;" and we know that the spoken word is the expression of the thought which goes with It, and thought la the net til ty of Mind. Therefore, It is not abnormal. It Is not an abstract statement to say that God Is Mind, and when we come to know shat God Is the Mind of Christ, then we know that our God is omnipotent,' omniscient, and omnipresent: that 'llo Is the same yesterday, today and forever, and without variableness or shadow of turning. . We shall find that tho more we turn to know God as Chrlstlou Sci ence teaches God to be, the more loving we shall bo, the more con sciousness of Life we shall have, tho more Truth we shall discern, and as every step presents Itself un to us. the more we shall become conscious of the Principle of right thinking, bo that we can make no mistake, but shall go on with the light which never lost a case which camo to it for healing; and the moro we cling to that, tho more shall we have that Chrlst-mlnd which enables us to do for our selves and for our brethren In this world the healing from every dis cord that seems to afflict us.

'j PERMANENT CONTPUCTIQf J j Buick Value The Measure of Automobile Values Feople now-a-days measure automobile values on the basis of Buick value. How often you hear such remarks as: "It's not nearly as good as Buick". People make these remarks both consciously and unconsciously. Consciously, because they actually know Buick value either from their own experience or that of their friends; unconsciously, because for twenty years Buick has been the accepted standard of the industry. Good reasons, both, why you sh'ld own a Buick. 6EE THE BOICK AND RIDE IN IT MOTOR SHOP GARAGE Distributors for Douglas County ROSEBURG OREGON Buick Motor Company, Flint, Mich.
