A Lecture On
Christian Science
(By William D. Mcdacken, M. A.,
C. S. D., member of the Hoard of
Lectureship of The Mother Church,
The First Church of Christ, Sci
entist, in Boston, Mass.)
There is much evidence to show
that the uncertainties of human life
largely contrihute to its mistakes, to
Its sin, sickness, and sorrow. Uncer
tainty causes humanity to waver in
Judgment, and to be apprehensive of
the future. It embitters many an
otherwise noble character. It sows
broadcast the seeds of fear and doubt
end renders human beings vacillat
ing and distrustful at the very times
when they ought to speak to evil with
authority and dominion. Hampered
l.y the shackles of uncertainty, hu
man beings dare not advance against
the mental enemies that spell disas
ter to their happiness, health and
wholesomeness, but either permit
themselves to be overridden by these
enemies or else withdraw Into a con
dition of hopeless inactivity.
The Real and Ktornal.
Mrs. Eddy, the Discoverer and
I'ounder of Christian Science, and
the author of Its textbook, "Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
tures," offers the following explana
tion of the real and eternal oh page
71 of that book: "Nothing is real
nnd eternal, nothing Is Spirit, but
God and His idea." It follows that
the sick and sinning need only apply
this test to their own cases in order
to find out what pertains to Truth,
what is necessary, lawful and abid
ing, and on the other hand what is
false, hence unnecessary, Illegitimate
end transitory In their experiences.
In other words, their help and cure
will arise from the spiritual under
standing of the fact that nothing is
real except that which Is of divine
origin. That which is mere human
belief, supposition or superstition is
unreal, untrue and nonessential. By
means of this test it Is possible to
separate the chaff from the wheat
simply by asking one's se'.f of any
Fiven condition, thought or act, Is it
like "God and His idea," or is It un
like Him and His creation? The an
swer will determine whether the par
ticular condition, thought or act Is
real or unreal, true or untrue, essen
tial or nonessential.
Therefore Christian Science pro
vides a way of estimating the facts in
every human problem and is thus a
means of escape from every unto
ward situation. Is the sufferer one
who feels aggrieved because he has
Leen obliged to stand aside and see
the world's activities pass him by,
perhaps by reason of invalidism or
through lack of what are called nat
ural opportunities? Then let him
take the line of demarcation offered
by Christian Science, and measure off
that in his thought which is godlike
from that which Is unlike God. Let
him harvest the first 'and discard the
second, and he will rise out of his
loneliness and isolation and become
a useful member of society.
Is the seeker for help one who has
spent his ail in the futile pursuit of
pleasure only to find that pain Is his
reward? Let him too measure out
: the immutable and true from the
changeable and false by means of this
spiritual understanding offered by
Christian Science, and he will find
genuine happiness, real bliss and joy,
.to be spiritual and not material.
! This same help is available for the
sick and sinning, the downtrodden,
j the fearful, the Ignorant, the seem
ing victims and martyrs of evil be
lief, or of malicious mental sugges
tions. It is the way of salvation for
those lying on beds- of suffering as
well as for those in bondage to bad
habits.
Now It is evident that in order to
follow out this process of classifica
tion between that which Is like God
and that which is unlike Him, there
must be a practical understanding of
God Himself, of His nature aid qual
ities. It therefore becomes the duty
and privilege of those seeking help
In Christian Science to become ac-

quainted first and last with God
Himself.
God and Hfe Idea.
When Moses was being commis
sioned by God to bring the children
of Israel out of Egypt, he asked by
what name he should refer to God
In reply to their question. We read
in the book of Exodus: "And God
said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM;
and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto
the children of Israel, I AM hath sent
me unto you." This divinely chosen
designation I AM reveals the essen
tial nature of God. It stands for be-
j ing, self-existence, infinity, perfec
! tion. The great I AM Is the everlast
ing I AM, that was, and is, and ever
shall be. He is Li re Eternal, without
! beginning and without end, and His
I kingdom ruleth over all. The great
!l AM is one God, Infinite and indivis
ible. He is omnipotent, omniscient,
I omnipresent. He Is the creator of all
(that has existence, truth, reality, cr
! essential being. He acts as Principle
governing through law and divine
decree. Ho ' is imperishable sub
stance, and He gives unto man immor
tality, bliss, and the "beauty of holi
ness." Moreover, God is Mind.
Among Mrs. Eddy's many contribu
tions to the right understanding of
God, none stands out more clearly
than her definition of God as Mind.
II is obvious that If God be consid
ered as infinite and Is one and Indi
visible, and this is the general theo
logical teaching concerning Him, the
word Mind fully meets the require
ments of the definition. This God
who is Mind Is absolutely and wholly
good, and He operates through the
law of good only; and this law means
to every one of His creatures health,
happiness, harmony, and heaven.
Then if God is wholly good Mind, it
behooves the man or woman who de
sires to know whether any mental
Impression is real, true or essential,
to, bring it to the test of the divine
Mind and compare it therewith.
Evil Mind Unreal.
Under this test it Js obvious that
an evil mind can not re a real mind.
It can only be a pretense of a mind
incapable of originating truth or of
giving forth true Impressions. Thus
all envy, jealousy, fear, evil intent
or desire, malice, revenge, all pas
sions and appetites of the carnal
mind, such as pride, deceit, hatred,
tin, sickness and death, being outgiv
ings of that evil mind, when meas
ured by the standard of likeness or
rnlikeness to God, are recognized as
unlike Him, hence as unreal, untrue
end nonessential, as false and erron
eous. Then it would follow that any
train of events starting from such
erroneous thinking is equally unreal
and untrue, and therefore need not
1 e admitted as having basis in fact.
This enables any one to reshape his
v.hole life, to set aside from his ex
perience as unreal that which is un
like God, and to place himself wholly
under the law of God.
Sickness.
"Is any sick among you," and is
his sickness inevitable? Is it of di
vine origin, supported by divine law
end an established necessity? If
you wish to know definitely whether
sickness is real, true and essential,
rpply the test once more and ask the
question, Is sickness like God, god
like? One can hardly venture to an
swer in the affirmative, for that
would imply that sickness can lodge
in the divine Mind and become a part
of the thinking, operation or expres
sion of that Mind. Sickness can not
issue from that Mind unless it is
there already; and if it is there, then
God can think it. The admission
that sickness is real would create a
vicious circle from which there is
no escape except through the simple,
scientific reasoning that sickness, be
ing unlike God, is unreal, untrue and
nonessential.
Thus it is possible to measure with
scientific accuracy the exact nature
of every experience that comes to hu
manity, such as accidents, losses, en
mities, false pretenses, evil predic
tions, prophecies and threats. Are
these experiences essential? Are
they true? Are they real In the ab
solute sense? If they are real, they
must partake of the nature of God.
Now an accident can not issue from
the divine Mind, because that Mind
contains only law, order, harmony,
Invarlableness, regularity. It is Im
possible to associate Infraction of law
with the divine Mind; therefore any
such infraction must be classified as
a belief apart from God. An accident
ran not claim to be like God, godlike,
! but must be relegated to the realm of
the unreal, untrue and nonessential,
and Its supposed consequences must
follow It into unreality.
Then if material medicine predicts
the progress of disease as inevitable
end t ho doom of man as sealed, must
this prediction be counted as true or
untrue, real or unreal? Surely the
divine Mind predicts no evil of Its
! own creation. God, who made all
Ithat was made, and say that it was
I ' very good," does not doom His own
Inian to decay, dissolution and death.
I It follows that such predictions, gen
erally designated as laws of disease,
j have no divine origin and can be set
inside without doing violence to dl-
vine decrees. The spiritual under
standing of this at once frees human
ity from the dread of law and neces
sity supposed to 1)6 Incorporated in
disease. It lifts the bugbear of in
curability from the frightened sense
of the sick and sinning and establish
es them upon the sure foundation of
their divine rights to health, happi
ness, holiness, and through reforma
tion and repentance to heaven Itself.
By this test of the real and the un
real, humanity can sort out of its
experiences the inevitable good from
the seeming evil, the spiritual neces
sities from the material appearances.
This process means growth, progress
along the narrow way. It makes
plain the path from sense to Soul
end is the modus operandi of Chris
tian Science healing and reforming.
In Science and Health (p. 469) Mrs.
Eddy writes: "The exterminator of
error is the great, truth that God,
good, is the only Mind, and that the
cupposititious opposite of infinite
Kind called devil or evil is not
Mind, is not Truth, but error, with
out intelligence or reality."
The importance of recognizing God
as the only Mind is clearly seen when
the sad effects of believing in a sup
posititious opposite of the divine
Mind are learned by experience. Paul
designates this supposititious mind as
the carnal or fleshly mind. Mrs.
Eddy has described It more specifical
ly s mortal mind, or the mind of
mortals. This belief in a mind apart
from God is capable of all evil. It
would set up, if it could, a power op
posed to God to nullify His decrees

way by which man Is aware that he
lives is because he thinks. If the

that I live? th answer must be, Be
cause I am conscious, because I
think. Man is a mental being. Liv

our investigation Into the nature of
God passes naturally from the recog
nition or Him as divine Mind to the
consideration of Him as eternal Life.
This Life which God Is can not be
finite, because God is Infinite. This
Life is not limited in any way, either
In space or time, through matter or
the flesh. God as Life is incorporeal,

God as Life Is continuous, without
