In addressing an audience made up. In
part, of persona who know little of the
teachings of Christian Science, It la well
to consider what Christian '.Science has
in common with other religious organi
sations which accept the Bible, and the
Bible teachings regarding God. Hu
Christian Science anything in common
with other denominations that accept
the Bible? Upon examination" it will be
neen Aia there is much in common. All
-Christian people accept the Bible. They
understand that God is omnipotent, om
niscient, omnipresent ; meaning by this
that God has all power, is ever-present;
and Is the creator and source' of all
knowledge. These immortal verities of
Ieity have been accepted by all Chris
tians because on no other basis can we
conceive of God as infinite and supreme,
a God of love who sends only good gifts
to His children. Thus if you should ask
a man who accepts the Bible if he be
lieves that God"-is omnipresent, he would
undoubtedly answer you in the affirm
ative. If you should ask him if he be
lieves that God us omniscient- and om
nipotent, he would likewise answer you
in the affirmative. But If you press the
matter further, and ask him if he would
rely upon the omnipotent goodness of
God to heal him should he be taken sud
denly ill at the midnight hour, he would
probably hesitate and perhaps, tell you
that such reliance was too vague arid
transcendental for him ; that he pre
ferred to pin his faith to some favorite
drug or other material means, ilia an
swers to the above questions would prob
ably be the answers of many people who
act-ept the Bible and believe in the
power, goodness and love of God. But
does not their refusal actually to rely
upon God in a time of sickness indicate
a fatal weakness, a distrust of God that
accounts for the failure of modem; re
ligions ;to satisfy that hunger for right
eousness which is characteristic of; all
men as sons and daughters of God?
Because modern religions showed this
wide discrepancy between reality and
practice, a re-statement of the eternal
truths of the Bible became necessary if
the race was to be saved from the my
riad ills that beset it. For this purpose
Christian Science came to the world. No
matter what hostile critics may. say to
the contrary. Christian Science came to
the world in response to the quenchless
yearning of the human heart to know
its God, a yearning that human wisdom
can never supply1. No matter what the
testimony of the material senses may be

evil. Christian Science holdq firmly, logi
cally, and consistently, to the eternal
fact of the omnipotence of God, which
overrules and destroys all the asserted
power of sickness, disease. Bin and
death.
PRIMITIVE CHRISTIAJTITY
By teaching reliance on the omnipotent
goodness of God, Christian Science has
reinstated primitive Christianity. What
is primitive Christianity? In the past,
Christianity was too much considered to
mean customs, traditions, dogmas and
creeds of the early days of the Christian
church. But If you will recall the words
and deeds of the great Bible characters
from Genesis to Revelation, you will find
that their religion was something vital,
-a living reality. They made no' mere
professions of trust in God ; they had an
understanding of God, and they proved
their understanding by destroying sin,
by healing diseases, by breaking
droughts, by controlling the economic
hvs of supply and demand, and by over
Coming the last enemy, even death it
self. They made no empty pretenses of
faith in God. and then followed after the
latest advertised drug. No, they would
have repudiated that procedure as con
trary to the first commandment, "Thou
shalt have no other; gods before me."
OSEXESS jiv"ITH GOD
The beginner in Christian Science may
receive the Impression that Christian
Science heals merely physical ills and
is only a substltutelfor the drugging sys
tem or other material methods. Christian
Scienoe heals the sijck : there Is no doubt
about that. He wtjuld be a brave critic
Indeed who at the! present, time would
arise and deny that Christian Science
does heal the sick. The living witnesses
f its healing power are numbered by
the tens of thousands. But the healing
qf physical Ills is not the ultimate of
Christian Science. Christian Science goes
to the bottom of the human mentality,
uncovers the latent' errors of the human
mind arid destroys them, and arouses
men to claim their divine heritage to be
Bona of God. Christian Science arouses
men to see .that man lives because God
lives, for man's life Js derived from God.
A "man does not live merely to keep him
self in repair or to satisfy his human
desires. A Christian Scientist sees that
- a man's real business in life Is to know
and to elorifv God. The Westminster
Catechism says, "Man's chief end is to
glorify God and to enjoy him forever.
. If you buy an automobile you expect
the machine to carry its occupants, mot
to undergo repairs. Repairs must be
made, of course, if the machine does not
run. So likewise, when a man Is sick ,or
sinful, he must "be healed before he is
prepared to realize his sonship with God.
But the healing of sin and sickness is
only the preliminary step b which a
j man comes to see that his real duty, his
' ideal, is to understand God, and to live
afcording -to His eternal laws. The
vriter of Ecclesiastes summed the mat-
. Tr up wnen ne said. "Kear God, and
kiep his commandments ; for this is the
vfhohs duty of man." And so a man's
regeneration has -merely commenced
when he fs healed, of physical ills by
Christian Science. Dimly at first per
lfaps, but nevertheless surely, he be-r
gins to see a vision, a vision of a God
who Is Spirit, Life, Love, and man and
the universe spiritual and eternal. He
begins to see a perfect model of man
Ijood based upon man's eternal sonship
with God. He notes how lamentably in
adequate were his forrner habits and
kleals. and he finds that a transforma
tion of Jhought must take place if he is
ever to attain this ideal. And so he
begins to undergo that change of thought
Which is aescnoea in the Bible by vari
f'renewirig- of the. mind." "born of the
Spirit," "reconciliation with God." He
. begins to measure himself by the model
tot a perfect God and a perfect man and
to grow to that perfection of thought
which the Psalmist saw when he said,
I shall be satisfied when I awake in
thy likeness."

belief of polytheism, many gods, and
grasped the sublime conception of mon
otheism, one God. his name was changed
to Abraham. Jacob saw this eternal
reality, , and his name was changed to
Israel. Prior to this he had been a r
crafty trader, preying on the- weakness
and follies of his fellow-men. At the
present time he would perhaps be called
profiteer. When, however, he saw
the truth about God and man, he was so
transformed that he became a prince
who, as the Scripture declares, had
power with God and with man." Moses
saw It on Mount Sinai and he was
charged to do all things after the "pat-
tern which was showed thee on the
mount." Christ Jesus, on the mountain
of transfiguration, saw thfstranscendent
vision of the glory of God, and man His
perfect expression, and we are told that
"his face did shine as the sun, and his
raiment was white as light." Christ
Jesus radiated light, because he had
spiritual consciousness. He thought
God's thoughts. These thoughts, these
messages, these angels of His presence,
came to him clothed with omniscience
and omnipotence ; and because Christ
Jesus entertained them, he was endued
with power which enabled him to de
stroy pain, sin, death and the grave.
So profoundly .impressed were men by
his wonderful teachings and unparallelcj
victory over the physical senses, that
they have 'Gated the calendar from his
nativity. His career thus stands out in
history as a beacon light, immeasurably
transcending all other human events.
Mrs. Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder
of Christian Science, likewise, more than
eighteen centuries later, saw this same
perfect pattern, this model, which en
abled her to heal the sick and sinning.
and enabled her to inspire unnumbered
multitudes to forsake human opinions,
dogmas, traditions, and drugs, in order
to follow the light of demonstrable truth.
Now it might properly be asked, how do
we know that Mrs. Eddy saw this same
model of God and man that the great
Bible characters saw? In answer to that
query let us suppose that some five
thousand years ago a great writer . and
thinker climbed a lofty mountain, a
mountain.
"Though round Its base the rolling
clouds are spread.
Eternal sunshine settles on its head"
and this writer wrote an account of his
experiences In climbing that mountain
and pictured the marvelous panorama
tBat unfolded to his enraptured vision
as he toiled his way to loftier heights.
And as time went on, other writers and
thinkers made the same Journey and re
corded their" experiences for the guidance
or future generations who would make
the same ascent,' Now, is it not reason
able that their experiences would be
similar, and that they would see the
same panorama, and that their records
of the ascent would corroborate each
other? So likewise have been the ex
periences of all who have climbed the
mountain of holiness, and risen above
the cloud of materialism that has dark
ened the vision of all peoples. Mrs. Eddy
climbed this name mountain of holiness
that all spiritual thinkers have climbed
throughout the centuries. She saw the
same vision. Her writings coincide with
trie spiritual sense of the Scriptures:
they give the same spiritual illumination
as do the Bible texts when SDirituallv
understood ; and her followers are heal
ing the sick and freeing the sinning, as
did the disciples of old when they finally
understood tne spiritual import of the
words and works of the blessed Master,
CHRISTTAJT SCIENCE KILLS EVIL
When we come In contact with the
material world about us, we are con
fronted with the phenomena of evil. We
note its destructive character. It mani
fests itself in myriad forms of fear,
pain, droughts, wars, storms and death.
Where did this unholy thing come?
Is it of God or is it not? A falm th
ology has attempted throughout the cen
turies to lead men into the belief that
God created evil; that in some mysteri
ous way, evil is good in the making, a
crude form Of good, as it were Tnt tvi
fact Is that God is not the author of
eviL If God were the author of evil,
then God would be a God of hate instead
Is "Becoming Proficient in
Miss
of love, a God of death instead of life.
Evil is contrary to good, and there is
nothing in all the infinitude of God's
universe out of which evil could be cre
ated. Darkness is not farther removed
from light than evil is from good. Light
does not produce darkness, Life does not
produce death. Confronted by these
facts, false theology shifts its ground
and argues that God permitted evil to be
self-created. That is mere sophistry,
because God, having all power, would be
Just as responsible if he permitted evil
to be self-created as If He created it di
rect. Some theologians, in theorizing
about evil, assume that because God cre
ated all that was made. He must have
created evil since evil has apparent sub
stance to the physical senses. 'These the
ologians have utterly failed to see that
the physical senses cannot interpret
God, that evil is without foundation, has
no reality, and is merely a phenomenon
of the human mind.
Christian Science clears up all mysti
cism about evil, and shows that evil
under whatsoever forms it masquerades,
is a false claim, operating through the
five physical senses. When we see even
faintly the omnipotent goodness of God,
we can never fear evil as we did before.
Why? Because we have dethroned it.
Star Betelgeuse Is Immense
K t K 91 i 91 9 91 91 91 91
300 Times Larger Than Sun
By Garrett P. Serviss
Prominent Astronomer and Writer oo Proa-
lema of Scientific Interest.
The star Betelgeuse in the constel
lation Orion, according to the recent
measurement by Professor Albert
Michelson with his interferometer,
has the tremendous diameter of two
hundred and sixty million miles.
That la about 300 times the diame
ter of the little star that we call the
sun, -
Brought "up to the distance of the sun
from the earth, Betelgeuse would show
a disk 90,000 times as large as the sun's,
which, if ita center were placed in the
zenith, would cover the whole sky with
the exception of a narrow band, only 15
degrees in width, 'running around- the
horizon.
' The diameter of the disk of the sun
is about .half a degree r that of the disk
of Betelguese, then, seen from the same
distance, would be 150 degrees. But the
actual distance of Betelgeuse la about 150
light years, corresponding to 880 millions
of millions of miles, or nearly 9.500,000
times the. distance of the sun! The con
sequence is that its enormous disk is re
duced by the effect of its equally enor
mous distance to a glittering point In
the sky, the measurement, of whose ap
parent diameter by ' Professor' Michelson
must rank as one of the most remark
able achievements of observational and
instrumental astronomy.
IS GIANT STAB
Hti measurement gives us a new con
ception of the immensity of the so-called
giant stars," of which Betelgeuse, air
though a worthy member, is- believed to
be not by any means the largest. There
is another star, Rigel, In the same con
stellation, that is probably greater than
Betelgeuse, and news of what the new
, method of measurement has to say about

Before the omnipotence of God, evil
shrinks to Its native nothingness. We
see it for. what it is, a lie, and a liar, "a
murderer from the beginning" as the
Master " declared, a false projection of
mortal belief, nothing more. Does not
the Scripture declare : "There shall no
evil befall thee, 'neither shall any plague
come nigh thy ' dwelling. For ,he shall
give his angels charge over thee, to keep
thee in all thy ways"? Sometimes, in
the fact of the seeming activity of evil,
men may become fearful and despair
ing. Accepting the scholastic He about
evil being God-created, and therefore in
vincible, they may throw up their hands
and kecome its unresisting victims. But
the genuine Christian Scientist waxes
strong when battling with eviL He re
fuses to concede to it one iota of power,
or reality. He refuses to allow a single
suggestion of its presence or power to
enter his consciousness. He knows that
man has control of his own mentality
through understanding the Christ, and
that when we stand at the dpor of
thought, refusing admittance tJ every
whispering of evil and admitting only
the ideas of holiness and health, !we are
approaching that perfection of thought
which Jesus knew when he said, "The
kingdom of God is within you."
Rigel's diameter will be awaited with
impatience. Then there is the famous
star Conopus, in the southern hemi
sphere, which has been supposed to ex
ceed all others in actual magnitude
though that is merely a guess ; what can
its diameter be, If Betelgeuse measures
260,000,000 miles across?
if Betelgeuse had the same mean
density as the sun it would possess 27,
000,000 times the sun's attractive force.
The effective reach of Its gravitational
arm would then be more than 5000 times
that of the sun's.
Since Betelgeuse has suddenly become
an object of universal interest because
of Micheison's discovery, everybody
should see it and be able to point it out.
Fortunately the winter Is the best time
to see it, and the constellation Orion, to
which it belongs, is so conspicuous that
the" most careless observer can hardly
fail to recognize if after being told in
what direction to look.
: Who knows but to the impulsion of
the curiosity suddenly awakened about
this colossal sun, ' whose real stupend-
ousness has been so dramatically brought
to public attention, thousands of per
sons may owe the happiness and ad
vantage of learning the geography of
the heavens? That woura really be
worth more to the human race at large
than Micheison's wonderful feat of
measurement.
