TIIE 3IOKXINO OREGOXIAN, MONDAY. AUGUST 14, 191G. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE -LECTURE THRONGED E. VV. Palmer, Member of Lec tureship Board, Speaks at First Church. BELIEFS ARE SET FORTH 'Prize of Spiritual Mastery" Goal of Religions Faith, as Ex plained for Followers of Mary Baker Eddy. Is The free publlo lecture on Christian Science, delivered yesterday afternoon In the edifice of First Church of Christ, Scientist, Nineteenth and Everett streets, by Ezra W. Palmer, member of the Christian Science board of lecture ship, was Targely attended. The les ture will be repeated at the same place this evening and tomorrow even ing at 8 o'clock. Mr. Palmer said in part: "The grreat exponent of the omnipo tence of God was Christ Jesus. By reason of his sinless birth and eon ship with the Father, he knew and ex pressed the will of God. The religious systems of his day claimed to teach the true worship of God. But these systems produced no results to prove their unity with the Father. Jesus not only knew the power of God he proved it by results. He proved that what claimed to be real on the evi dence of the corporeal senses was nt real but illusion. He reversed the false claim that matter has life. Intelligence, or power, either to injure or bless mankind. "The false, carnal mentality which St. Paul declared was 'enmity against God.' Jesus stripped of all pretence and characterized it as "a liar and the father of It.' He never tauorht that God created matter, or that God was in any way responsible for sin, sickness or death. On the contrary, he exposed the unreal basis of these errors and destroyed them through the might of mind. Lesson f the Prophets. "The healing power demonstrated by Jesus was not confined to himself on account of his sonship with God. It was the divine knowledge of the Father available for all men. Jesus taught his Immediate followers the power of God to heal the sick and free the sin ner. But the saving gospel of the Christ, the Messiah, was not confined nor could it be confined to a chosen few, to one age, or to one people. It was a universal gift of God to all his children. "When we turn to the New Testa ment we find that the 12 disciples went forth and healed; the 70 did likewise. Paul, who was not at first a disciple, healed the sick and raised the dead. ' And ror a long period or time as great as that from the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers at Plymouth Rock till the present day the early Christians healed as a part of the work of the church. Contemporary writers and his torians corroborate the healing work of the early Christians. "Christian Science was discovered by Mary Baker Eddy In the year 1868 Recovery from an Injury the result of an accident through the spiritual un derstandlng of 'a passage In Matthew's gospel was the falling apple which gave her the clue to the unfoldment of divine, scientific Christianity. The time was propitious for a new spiritual advance of the race. A great war had Just terminated which destroyed in this Nation the bondage of human servi tude. Great reformations in religion had taken place; the grip of hard and dogmatic creeds was loosening, and the heart of humanity was being stirred by a clearer sense of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. A more liberal spirit was permeating politics, literature and religion. Ideas of social service were taking form and education of the masses had be come firmly established In the more advanced civilized nations. Mrs. Eddy Well Fitted. "Mrs. Eddy was well fitted for her great work. Of Puritan ancestry she was reared in the atmosphere of Christian home. From childhood she had been deeply religious. She was profound student of the Bible and meditated upon its truths. She had knowledge of Greek and Hebrew. She had sounded the depths of scholastic theology and found It inadequate to give the bread of life. "She had tested the various systems of medicine and healing and found them wanting. She investigated spirit ualism and hypnotism and cast them aside, because they failed to enlighten the thought. She had been tried in the crucible of affliction, knew the poverty of mortal existence its pains, J Its false pleasures. Its illusions and she knew the hunger of the human heart to know its God. "After her healing she withdrew from -society for three years, studied the Scriptures, and searched for the scientific basis of Christianity. In 1S75 she gave to the world the text-book of Christian Science. 'Science and Health With Key to" the Scriptures." a book which has done more to revolutionize the thoughts of men regarding the truths of the Bible than any other book that has ever been written. Referring to the Biblical basis of her work, Mrs. Eddy said in 'Science and Health.' page 126, which I will read: Application Set Forth. " "I have set forth Christian Science and its application to the treatment of disease just as I have discovered them. I have demonstrated through Mind the effects of truth on the health, lon gevity, and morals of men: and I have found nothing in ancient or in modern systems on which to found my own, except the teachings and demonstra tions of our great Master and the lives of prophets and apostles. The Bible has been my only authority. I have had no other guide in the straight and narrow way of truth.' "Why, one may ask. is it necessary to gain this science of knowing Truth? Isn't one religious belief as good s another so long as the individual is honest and sincere In holding it? Be yond question some religious beliefs are better than others, and a genuine test of any religious belief Is. How much of the spirit of Christ does It Inculcate? Are its believers better, purer, healthier, holier for it? The final and supreme test of any religious belief Is. 'Does it crown its work by destroying sin, disease, want, and mor tality?" If not. then that belief must of necessity give place to a better knowledge of God which does accom plish this result. " 'So fight I.' said Paul, not as one that beateth the air.' and this Is the distinguishing characteristic of Chris tian Science. It doesn't beat the empty air. but teaches its adherents how to fight and win the prize of spiritual mastery 'against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spirit ual wickedness In high places.' Isn't exact knowledge necessary to gain suc cess in every walk of life? current comment that one religious be lief is as good as another? "The science of mind must be gained to attain spiritual dominion over the flesh and all carnality, and the prize Is worth the effort. To prove, for in stance, that health Is not something that can be lost, but is a spiritual quality. Imperishable and perfect, sy nonymous with purity, holiness, and harmony isn't that truly worth while? Many thousands have given their earthly all for health and have not found It, because they have not looked to God for it. And yet, health Is the gift of God, free as the air of heaven, within the reach of every honest man who will strive, as St. Paul declared, to 'be strong in the Lord, and In the power of his might.' "Christian Scientists are a happy peo ple. They are happy because they have found 'the secret place of the Most High,' a state of consciousness serene and lofty free from the aggressions of evil; a state of consciousness to which the realities of Infinite Truth and Ive unfold. This exalted state of consciousness is not a special gut to a favored person nor to a privileged de nomination. A loving God has pro vided It free for all men. Christian Scientists are not concerned that they should add adherents to the Christian Science Church, but they are concerned that all men should learn to know God aright, for only by this means can evil and sorrow be destroyed, and men be hold "the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven." We would ask you, therefore, to study 'Science and Health With Key to the Scriptures.' by Mary Baker Eddy. DOUBLE HONOR WOlfel Distinction Earned by Mrs. J. A. Roberts, of Redmond.

Competitors from all parts of the Northwest participated, each speaking in behalf of the city from which he camo. Mrs. Roberts' talk for Central Oregon and Redmond, which won the prize over the other contestants, follows: "Much speaking maketh a man seem to be a fool and much boosting of a town doeth it no good, but legitimate and truthful advertising of a locality brings results. "We do not say much about Red mond, for Central Oregon is our pride and we realize that if people know of Central Oregon they will learn of Red mond. for as surely as the rain and little sun make the famous Portland rose. Just so surely will 'a healthy growing, thriving farming community make its ceo4er grow. Redmond, as the hub of Central Oregon, will need no advertising, save that given by its sur rounding country and its products sent out over the broad land. "God has given us the sunshine, the climate, the pure mountain streams and man has scratched the ground, planted the seed and diverted the mountain streams over the thirsty soil and, lo! the desert has blossomed as the rose, and from It come those prod ucts which make it famous. "This is what has happened in a few short years and from a once wild waste we now make 'the butter that betters the bread," grow pork sweeter than Iowa's famous corn-fed, raise potatoe that the take the sweepstakes in any land products show, and rear a peopl contented to live and thrive in the bes place of God's great outdoors Central Oregon.

To hold "its place in the sun," is the object of every business in the great fight for industrial and commercial, supremacy. To be able to bold "its place in tbe sun," is the supreme test of an asphalt roof. It Is the sun, not rain or snow, that plays havoc with a roof. If it can resist the drying out process of the sun beating down upon it, day after day, the , rain or snow will not affect it except to wash it clean and keep it sanitary, Certamieed Roofing takes "its place in the sun" and holds it longer than other similar roofing because it is made of the very best quality roofing felt, thoroughly saturated with the correct blend of soft asphalts, and coated with a blend of harder asphalts. This outer coating keeps the inner saturation soft, and prevents the drying out "process so destructive to the ordinary roof. "The General's" blend of asphalts is the result of long experience. It produces a roofing more pliable than those which have less satura tion, and which are, therefore, harder and drier. At each of the General s big mills, expert chemists are constantly employed to refine, test and blend the asphalts used; also to experiment for possible improvements. Their constant endeavor is to make the best roofing still better. The quality of CERTAIN-TEED is such that it is guaranteed for 5, 10 or 15 years, according to thickness ( 1, 2 or 3 ply).
