EVIL CONDEMNED AND GOOD EXALTED
BY CHRISTIAN SCIENCE, SAYS SPEAKER
World of Today, Torn With Dissension and HI-Will, Hungry fcr Love That Is Genuine, Avers Paul Stark
Seelcy in Lecture at Auditorium.
The following lecture on Christian Science .
by Pul Stark Seelcy. C. S. B., ot Portland,
Or., member of the Board of LecturVahip of
the Mother Church, the First Church of
Christ, ScientiHC. in Boston. Mass., was
delivered Tuesday evening:, June 28, in the
municipal auditorium, under the auspices
of First Church of Chriat, Scientist, of
this city.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE brings a
healing message. It condemns
nothing but evil. It exalts noth
ing but good. It is not the dogma of
denomination. It is the word of
truth In which science and religion
are seen as one, and in this one is
found true medicine, even the healing
power of God. It matters not where
one may be on life's road. Christian
Science brings to the listening ear a
message of helpfulness and love. To
the sick it shows the certain way to
health, to the one entangled In the
meshes ot sin it adds moral courage
to right resolve, and points the road
to freedom and deliverance. To those
weighed down by burden and distress
It opens the highway of peace and
happiness through & fuller under
standing of the goodness and of. the
love of God. To all who seek for
better things it is the dawn of a
hr.ew light, that supplants mystery
with reason, ignorance with knowl
edge, doubt with confidence and un-
kindliness with love.
For their brothers of differing re
ligious beliefs Christian Scientists
have nothing but good will. They be
lieve that through the enlightened
thought of Christian peoples the world
will be led ever forward. They re
joice In good wherever manifest and
Join with their whole hearts in the
common prayer of Christendom to oirr
common father, God. "Thy kingdom
come, thy will be done in earth as it is
in heaven." In her message to the
mother church in Boston in 1902. Mary
Baker Eddy, the discoverer and found
er of Christian Science, expressed that
loving regard for the church of her
youth which is so frequently found In
her writings. She eaid: "it was an
Inherent characteristic of my nature
a kind of birth mark, to love the
church: and the church once loved
me. Then why not remain friends,
or at least agree to disagree, in love
part fair foes. I never left the church,
either in heart or in doctrine; I but
began where the church left off."
Thoreau writes: "It is never too
late to give up our prejudices. No
way ot thinking or doing, however
ancient, can be trusted without proof."
The teachings of Christian Science
rest on divine reason, and their sup
port is divine proof. So In a spirit of
reason and honest consideration let us
approach the subject before us. with
our thought open to all that is true
and good.
Bible Only Textbook.
The teachings of Christian Science
are Inseparable from the Bible. They
are founded upon the external truth
of being which that book contains.
"The Bible was my only textbook."
writes Mrs. Eddy in Science and
Health, page no, where she out
lines the footsteps which led up to
her discovery of Christian Science.
From childhood Mrs. Eddy, under
the guidance of her spiritually minded
mother, had learned to turn to God
for relief from sickness. In early-
womanhood she became - convinced
that Christ Jesus healed by some cer-
I ain law, and that the same law
1could be applied now as well as then

of the flower kingdom. She Is re-1
garded as one of the most beautiful
way." To "understand his way" be
came the objective of her life.
Shorty after Lincoln had accom
plished his God-appointed task there
came to the waiting thought of this
pure woman, at a moment of extreme
physical need, a clear perception of
the law and method by which Christ
Jesus and the early Christians had
healed the sick, and she was instantly
healed from the results of what had
been pronounced a fatal injury. But
it required nine years of further
study and application of this law be
fore the Christian Science textbook.
Science and Health with key to the
scriptures, was completed and given
to the world. This book corroborates
and explains the teachings of the
Bible. j
Church Government Unique.
The discovery of Christian Science
was, however, but one part of Mrs.
Eddy's life work. After her discov
ery there remained the work of found
ing this new yet old idea of God's
healing power In the thought of a
world, skeptical, condemnatory and
unbelieving. She saw that this sav
ing idea must be presented to men.
protected from adulteration and mis
representation; and that orderly
methods and means must be fcuind to
carry out these purposes. How well
the work was done!
The same wisdom which eulded all
the footsteps of this God-dnspired
woman enabled her to establish under
the manual of the mother church in
Boston a system of church govern
ment wholly unique and different
from any other and adequate in every
detail to the demands of this and
future generations. In this manual is
set forth "the way" in which the co
operative and collective activities of
the Christian Science movement must
be carried on, and the processes and
forms or aation through which God's
healing purpose of universal salvation
is to be accomplished.
The consideration of relie-ion and
science properly begins with the
cause of all things. Men may differ
as to what this cause is. but they are
united in tneir Deiiec that there is a
cause.
In the world today we observe many
good ideas that are commanding In
creased consideration. These ideas
pertain to the welfare and better
ment of men. individually and collect
ively. We note a widespread evidence
ot fuller consideration for thpir ei
ployes on the part of large employers.
Industrial leaders are realizing that
the time is near when the great
masses or- mankind must be freed
from the overburden of ohvsical toll
and the consuming fear of poverty.
Through the clouds of confused
opinions we see the Ideas of inter
national arbitration and co-operation
among tne nations of the earth be
coming more fully established in
thought. We see such events as the
Associated Advertising Clubs of
America taking for their organiza
tlon s motto, "Truth. We see indi
viduals and groups of Individuals
more active than ever before along
lines of service to the community
and their brother man. The Rotarv
club, an international organization of
business men. makes "service above
self" the keynote of its activities.
Now. my frieids, where do these
right ideas come from? All that we
know anything about Is what is
railed matter and mind, so it is from
one or the others that these i-leals
must come. Matter can be divided
into some 90 chemical elements, about
20 of which make up the human body,
though Its chief constituents are
water, salt, carbon and oil. The brain,
otten regarded as the source of
thought, is said to be from 70 per
cent to 90 per cent water, about the
same percentage of water that is in a
tomato or a, very soggy potato, I pre

diplomatic
sume. So we must decide whether
these ideas of Industrial justice, hon
esty, kindness and so on originate In
matter or in mind.
These ideas, let us note, are not
affected by time or space. They are
the same in essence today as they
wore iuuo years ago, and the same in
South Africa as in the United States.
Tbey are always here, and every
where, and no one has to do any
thing but think them in order to
have them. Tet no human being is
their source or cause. It is evident
that these ideas spring from a com
mon source with which each one of
us Is related, and from which there
come to us our good thoughts. Chris
tian Science explains that this foun
tain source of all right ideas is mind,
intelligence, always here and every
where, but never in matter. This always-present
mind is God, and is the
source of all good thoughts.
but, someone may say. there Is mucn
about man that is not the expression
of real Intelligence, or God. There is
much selfishness, hate, sin and dis
ease. Yes. that surely seems to be
so. How, then, are we to account for
tile ungodly conditions with which
we are confronted? This is the ex
planation. Good thoughts are the ex
pression of God. Evil thought, fear,
sin, disease, discord and so on are
the expression of so-called evil mind,
the negative and opposite of God, im
mortal mind.
But how are we to stop evil
thoughts from possessing us, and
keep our consciousness alwavs filled
with God's thoughts, that's the ques
tion we want answered, isn't it?
Christian Science answers it fully,
and as we go it will be seen what
that answer is.
"Evil In Negative Thought.
We cannot lift ourselves from the
earth by our own bootstraps. To
raise ourselves from the ground we
need to get hold of something higher
than we are. So to get free from
evil and mortality we must lay hold
of something higher, a higher sense
of life and existence, and that sense
is the spiritual or God-appointed sense
of" being. .
First, remember always that every
claim of evil must be reduced to a
mental argument, a suggestion of the
carnal, or mortal mind. "The basic
error is mortal mind," writes Mrs.
Eddy on page 405 of Science and
Health. If we wish to be rid of a
tree that Is sending out poisonous
odors we would not try to combat
the odor. We would search out the
root and strike there.
Christian Science shows evil to be
nothing but a negative state of
thought. It is like Ignorance. We
can all see that there is no such
thing in reality as ignorance. Igno
rance is but a negative state of
thought, the absence of something,
and it disappears instantly when in
telligence appears. So every phase of
evil is but a phase of spiritual igno
rance, and absence of the under
standing of good, the affirmative,
spiritual truth of being, and it dis
appears before the light of spiritual
Intelligence as the darkness flees be
fore the dawn.
Let us now consider some specific
application of Christian Science. Sup
pose an upright business man is con
fronted with a temptation to profit
through a dishonest transaction. He
thinks to himself, "No, I will not do
that dishonest act, for it Is not right.
It is not according to my standard of
manhood." What has he done here?
He has mentally repudiated an evil
suggestion that whispered to him, be
cause his higher sense of life knows
that it is wrong, is erroneous and un
worthy of a place in his thought or
life. He takes his stand mentally for
what is right and true. Now this is
just exactly what a Christian Scien
tist does, only he -goes further and
mentally repudiates the suggestions of
evil, no matter what their nature
may be. If the mental method Is
usable to get rid of the sinful sug
gestion to be dishonest it is equally
usable to get rid of the evil sugges
tion to be sick, for the latter has no
more legitimate place In the life and
thought of man than the former. Both
are the expresssion of the evil mind,
while man is made to express Gorl, the
divine mind.
God's "Will First.
Or suppose the Christian Scientist
awakens some morning with the
thought that a pending business tran
saction Is likely to fall through and
his supply be diminished or cut off.
What will he do? He will at once
recognize this thought as an evil sug
gestion of mortal mind and will turn
his thought to God as the source of all
life, the supplier of all good. He will
recognize that there IS no real power
but the power of omnipotent mind,
moving in the thought of every crea
ture and appointing all action, de
cision, and judgment according to tlve
will of unerring 'wisdom which op
erates impartially for The good and
happiness of all. He will know, right
in the face of what error may claim,
that what Is the will of God must be
and that what is not the will of God
cannot be, that his well-being depends
not on any person, or persons, but on
God who sustains all. and unfailingly
supplie-s- the needs of every creature
in the ways of wisdom .and love.
Two things are needed in order that
the Individual progress In his under
standing of Christian Science, first a
correct understanding of the nature
of God and man, and second a correct
sense concerning the nature of evil,
and how to combat and overthrow It.
We have considered the basic truths
about God and man. also something
of the nature of evil and how to de
stroy it. Let us now see what are
some of the most persistent forms of
evil argument that must be eradicated
from human thought. One of the most
common i9 self-will. This enemy of
the individual and the common good
appears early in human life, and is
ever seeking to control us, blinding
us to the government of God. It is
often manifest in the early acts of the
infant insisting upon its own desires.
The youth is frequently obsessed by
this unseen evil influence, and goes
his erring way, his thought shut to
any counsel but his own selfish, wil
ful course. The adult often mistakes
this mental usurper for true manli
ness, believes he must gain success by
it, dominate those about him with it,
and in general be a little god bossing
his own little kingdom and his sub
jects with this unholy power. The hu
man will is the autocrat ruler, the
tyrant, and the criminal of the mental
realm.
Humility Held Needed.
There Is but one antidote for self
will. It is humility. Humility Is no
sign of weakness, no surrender of real
initiative, individuality or power. It
is the finding, in the fullest sense, of
ail these and more, for It Bring man
into a fuller sense of his true man
hood than he has known before, we
must all pass through the valley of
humility, and leave there the heavy
baggage of self-will, before we can
reach the heights of holiness. Mrs.
Eddy has said that "humility Is the
first step in Christian Science." (Misc.
Writings 354:23). Humbleness of
mind is based on the recognition that
there is but one will, God's, but one
determining mind or intelligence to
which all men are naturally obedient,
each having his place and his part in
the one infinite plan. What error
terms "my will" or "your will" must
be put down and kept down if our
prayer, "Thy kingdom come, Thy will
be done" is ever to avail. The Mas
ter's prayer must become curs, "Not
my will but Thine be done." Solomon
puts it thus, "In all thy ways ac
knowledge him and he shall direct
thy paths."
Another stumbling-block in the way
heavenward is ingratitude. This is a
frozen, frigid, mental state which is a
phase of selfishness. It would cut us
off from the presence and love of
God. To the extent that we are grate
ful for the good we have we do rec
ognize the presence of God, who is
good. How can we hope to see more
of good until we recognize what is al
ready before us? There is no end to
the good near at hand. The man of
God is perpetually grateful, always
reioicing in the presence of good. We
enter heaven through the door of
gratitude.
Jesus' life was a Psalm of gratitude,
and religiously are too often sepa
rated by the devil's wedge of con
troversy and dissension and their pur
poses thwarted by inconsequental con
flict. "Disscusion is the work of evil.
Spiritual unity is the order of God.
We need more toleration, not for er
ror, but for our brother the whole
world over who is working his way
heavenward according to his best
lie-ht.
Only as brothers can we find true
life, only as brothers can we possess
true happiness, only as brothers can
we fulfill our Father's purpose and fill
our places in love's harmonious plan.
Let us hear the Master's own words,
"a nv commandment I give unto
you, that ye love one another; as I
have loved you, that we also love one
.nnth,r. Bv this shall all men know
that ye are my misciples. if ye have
love one to another."
Wre must make ours the same. "Father
I thank Thee" was his thougnt ai
w9va. The wholesome Follyanna re
minds us that the Lord says some 800
times In the Bible that we should be
gtad, and that since He said it so
many times He must have meant it.
ninrtnosu and gratitude go hand in
hand. Let us all get on the bright
side of life and stay there. Let us be
intelligent optimists. And it is well
to remember that a normal sense of
humor is a good shock-absorber for
some of the rough spots on the road
Of human experience.

The Little Red Foot, by Robert W. Cham
bers. -George ii. 2oran Co., New York
city.
In "Allfa Paige," Mr. Chambers
wrote a thrilling novel of the Amer
ican civil war period, a novel that
will live. In "The Little Red Foot"
Mr. Chambers has written a novel of
the American revolutionary war pe
riod and it will rank high In the
Chambers series.
"The Little Red Foot"' impresses by
its air of romance, love and war; its
powerfully drawn portraitures of em
inent historical personages, both Brit
ish and American, and by Its success
In presenting Incidents connected with
the making of America a nation
around the years 1774-1782. The hero.
John Drogue, otherwise Lord Stor
mont in the Scottish peeraee. is a
Scot; and the heroine. Miss Penelope
Grant, also a Scot. Both Drogue and
Penelope are persons of aristocratic
birth but at heart they are repub
licans. Most of the scenes are set around
the then sparsely settled country of
which Jamestown. N. is the cen
ter. It was the county seat of that
eminent American personage. Sir Wil
liam Johnston, then estimated to be,
around 1774, one of the greatest
statesmen In North America. He lived
in near-feudal splendor in a mansion
that was one of the big show places
in the early history of the United
States. Drogue was a sort of forest
warden under Sir William and yet he
was a farmer in his own right and
had a log house he called his home.
Sir William Johnston is spoken of
as having died from a broken heart
because of state worries and partisan
politics just as the novel opens. Sir
William's son. Sir John, the new head
of the clan, is a Tory who at the out
break of the American revolution pre
ferred a continuance of British rule
rather than American and he fled to
Canada.
Penelope is a ward or servant of old
Douw Fonda, a Scotch landed propri
etor who lived In a big stone house
he had erected not far from James
town. Several men in the story speak
coarsely of Penelope in the language
of rough talk of the colonial era. She
is possessed of great personal beauty
and a wealth of yellow hair. She has
many lovers. Drogue among them. It
was a common sight when Penelope
sewed to see a stream of gallants
around her as if she were a, goddess.
She is pictured as possessing second
sight and being able to predict the
future.
Drogue, whose claim to be Lord
Stormont is disputed by the British
house of lords, resolves to be an
American citizen and to cast his lot
with the republicans. The rebel Amer
ican tune "Little Red Foot" is whis
tled and sung as he marches off with
the militia to fight the Tories and
Whigs, as the royalists of those far
off days were called. He had a league
with his friends, a tribe of American
Indians, and he becomes an expert
woodsman. He gets into several fights
and is shot through the body, but is
nursed by an Indian girl who is a
witch. Afterward Drogue Is an offi
cer in the American army under the
immediate commana ot ju-ajor-ixejierai
Lord Sterling.
Penelope has many escapes from
death at the hands of hostile Indians
and her fine personality dominates the
last part of the novel. The love story
Is a pretty one, free from silly senti
ment. Albany, N. Y., is spoken of fre
quently as an important military town
and place of safety. General Wash
ington is only referred to In the re
cital of fact.

In "The Holy Land" Mr. Davis gives

There Is not much romance left in
Palestine nowadays. It is stated, after
the Turks have ruled eo long and so
unwisely in these garden places of the
earth and the various bad smells and
want of ordinary sanitation are de
scribed. Here is the first paragraph,
page one: "Up through a narrow,
sloppy, crooked, bad-smelling street,
every foot of which was disputed by
a motley crowd of porters, donkeys
and camels, heavily laden, I picked
my way to a waiting carriage and
soon landed at Hotel Jerusalem, Jaffa,
owned and managed by the American
consul, a courteous and considerate
gentleman. Judged by the oriental
standard It was a good hotel, but un
provided with facilities for heating, it
was cheerless and uncomfortable to a
degree for the American traveler."
Here is Hebron: "Mohammedan
graves, a jumble of houses occupied
by dirty women, dirtier children,
beggars and hoodlums. Here was en
countered the vilest boys in all Pal
estine, disgusting in their language
and their actions."
As for the river Jordan: "The river
in its normal condition is an Insignifi
cant stream -of filthy water. There is
nothing of the beautiful or pictur
esque in the outlook in any direction."
One general hint is given on page 98
concerning the Mohammedans: "They
are long on prayers and correspond
ingly short on sanitation." The favor
ite cry met with from the wide-awake
natives is "Backsheesh" gifts or trib
ute, in a broad sense. The city of Da
mascus Is praised: "Damascus is built
where a city should have been built,
where water is plentiful and sweet.
Its people I found considerate and
kind, its beggars fewer than in any
other part of Palestine."
Bethlehem, the garden of Eden, Je
rusalem, Nazareth and other historic
cities are visited. They are not lauded.
SocIoIokt and Ethics, by Edward Cary
Mayes, Ll D. P. Appleton & Co., New

There are evidences of much learn
ing In these presentations' of socio
logical studies, and the author writes
cleverly. He is professor of sociology
in the University of Illinois. The
book is one of long sentences and it
repays careful reading. Cold reason
is lauded. Our author does not speak
as cordially as he might over the con
solations of religion, and as to what
Christ taught in his second coming.
The message Btates that it would be
better if we were content to be hu

Carroll McComas, the stage Miss
Lulu Bett, became heiress to the en
tire fortune of her late finance, H. J.
Flannery. son of the "Vanadium
King." Mr. Flannery's death occurred
just as the play was opening In New
York. One announcement stated that
the "story of 'Miss Lulu Bett' might
be described as that of a modern
Cinderella and that Cinderella-like
surprise has come to her stage In
terpreter is an interesting coinci
dence." That seems to take very lit
tle account of the prince in the case.
This is an old one, but did you see
It? If book publishers followed the

announcements, the book title, pages
would run something like this, says

The Atlantic Monthly Press brings
out this week a volume of "comment
on schools, school people and other
people," "Shackled Youth," by Ed
ward Yeomans. Parents who feel
that the "educators" have not yet
learned the whole secret or educating
will listen the more readily to Mr.
Yeomans opinions, perhaps.' because
he is not a technical educator, but a
manufacturer of steam pipes, who
enjoys sailing a boat and playing a
cello. Yes? And they will doubtless
also li3ten more readily to remarks
on steam pipes from a writer not a
"technical" engineer, who is a pro
fessor of Greek and enjoys golf and
playing the ukulele. All the same
it is a fine book that Mr. Yeomans
has written.
The election of J. K. Gill, or the
J. K. Gill company, to the honorary
fellowship of American booksellers
conies as a tribute to his 45 years
of business experience, "one of the
most notable in American booksell
ing for its fine vision and untiring
service." The fellowship is a brand
new association "instituted to pro
vide a means by which the American
brother is Wilbur. Merle is a nat
ural cad and loafer, while Wilbur is a
natural mechanic and good citizen.
When the world war comes around
Wilbur promptly enlists. Merle is a
radical and pacifist and won't fight
because, he says, he has weak eyes.
He edits a radical magazine called
the New Dawn, which boosts bolshe
vik ideas and opposes our govern
ment. There is a lively love story.

Written with a desire to inform the

Well, well, Mr. Hearst certainly
has done for himself with our Cana
dian cousins. April 30, the Ontario
legislature unanimously passed
resolution excluding all Hearst pub
lications from circulation in Canada
and instructing the federal govern

end. Premier Drury, while admitting
the mischief done by these papers
doubted the advisability of inter
ference.
Frederick O'Brien has a wounded
captain "laying for" him over in his
Tahitian isles of the blessed. But
as this is the 20th century and vio
lence is far from us, even in the
South seas, the captain is awaiting
him with a legal suit for 10, (MM)
francs instead of a battle-axe. In
O'Brien's "White Shadows" in the
second chapter thereof, a certain
"Lying Bill Pincher" is limned. Now,
although the name of Joseph Win
chester might appear a sufficient
alibi, Captain Winchester, schooner
skipper of the Dangerous islands and
the Marquesas group, allows that his
fame has been damaged and his sen
sibilities wounded by this portraiture
which he evidently feels is a speak
ing likeness. He says everybody
who knows him laughs at him now.
In O'Brien's new book "Mystic Isles
of the South Seas" there is an even
more detailed full-length portrait of
Lying Bill. I guess that will cost
about all Mr. O'Brien s profits, if he
ever goes back.
Recently an enthusiastic reader ol
Chipperfield's mystery story. "The
Man in the Jury Box," inquired in
a bookstore for "something just as

he-man, "I should say not!" Poor fel
low! He didn't know that "Robert Orr

such enlightened gentlemen. '

"Books are the windows through
which the soul looks out. A house)
without books is like a room with
out windows. No man has a right to
bring up his children without sur
rounding them with books, if he has
the means to buy them. It is a
wrong to his family. He cheats them.
Children learn to read by being in
the presence of books. The love of
knowledge comes with reading and
grows upon it. And the love of
knowledge, in a young mind, is al
most a warrant against the inferior
excitement of passions and vices. A
nine iiDrary. growing larger every
year, is an honorable part of a young
man's history. It is a man's duty
to have books. A library is not a
luxury, but one of the necessaries of
