Many people heard the lecture on
Christian Science which "was given
at tbe Grand Opera house, 1 Sunday
afternoon by Dr. Francis J. Fluno. C.
S D.. Member of the Board of Lect
ureship of The Mother Church, The
First Church of Christ, Scientist, In
Boston. Mass.
The lecturer was Introduced by
Prof. Walter M. Smith, who said,
"On behalf of !' the members of
" First Church of Christ. Scientist of
Salem, I extend to you a cordial In
vitation to this lecture.
"A lecture on Christian Science is
particularly fitting at this time when

from the world and to bring peace.

r Ourselves that this is true it is only

the hearing hear better, and find a
mere Improved kind of hearing. ;
Tne lame are made to walk, and
those who walk move with more
firmness., a more elastic step; and
have a more perfect reliance upon
their ability to walk; for they learn
to walk la wisdom's way. , V
Christian Science. not only heals
mortals ct sickness, but it corrects
the world of such a thing as sick
ness. It not only heals individuals
or sin and iniquity, but it corrects
the world of such a thing as sin
and iniquity. .
It not, only raises the dying to
health and wholeness, but it tends to
correct the world of such a thing as
death; to demonstrate over death,
until finally death! disappears from
the world, to be as though it had not
been, as in fact it never was.
Christian Science takes the world
hatred.- malice, fear. revenge, un
faithfulness, fraud, in fact all the
pis ana errors of the mortal.
.Christian Science. unlike every
other religion, admits of bo error,
either in premise or; conclusion, in
cause or effect, in Principle or ex
pression. God and His creation al
ways were perfect, are now and for
ever will be.
Neither are the evils and errors of
sense undeveloped good; neither are
they spiritual good wrongly under
stood: but they are the negative of
being, as darkness is the negative of
light; and as the false is the negative
of the true.
Christian Science comes to this ma
terial age and throws the X-ray of
Spirit and scientific understanding
upon all material things; and reveals
them to be merely mortal thoughts
that have no more existence or real

anything but our belief, and that was
not true, or we could not have lost
it
When we lost that beautiful blue
sky. beyond which we may have
thought heaven, God. and the angels
were, we did not lose anything that
we really had; we only lost that
which we thought we had but never
had.
So. no one need be afraid that tbe
scientific knowledge of being will
take any good or real or true thing
away.
Omnipotence Itself is pot omnipo
tent enough to destroy matter, if
matter were a reality.
A scientific understanding of be
ing reveals the fact that God Is
Spirit, divine Principle; and His cre

hav been healed, having thereby
proved that "God is a very present
help in time of trouble.
i "The man who is to speak this
afternoon comes to us with a broad
understanding of this subject,' He
has proved the truth of Christian
Science through healing and teaching
for many years, and therefore is par
ticularly well qualified to speak upon
the subject.
"He comes as an authorized repre
sentative of the Board of Lecturship
of The Mother Church. The First
Church of Christ, Scientist, Boston,
Mass." '
Dr. Fluno's lecture follows:
The .claims of Christian Science on
the modern world are tbe claims of
' Christian Science on the prehistoric
age, the ancient age, the medieval
age, the present age, and tbe ages to
tome.
It makes no new claims on the
modern world; its claims are onlf
new to the limited sense, the finite
vision, and the materially-beclouded
perception.
The average man. until awakened
by truth in divine Science, is main

failure, finds Christian science, he
finds himself unconsciously, as it
were, demonstrating business and
success; and when Christian Science
in its purity and simplicity comes
to the already well-established and
successful business man, - it raises
him to where be sees a standard or
business and success as an eternal
law. that can no more fail than the
eternal God can fail.
From this it follows that failure
only is lost; and this is lost and swal
lowed up of success, as darkness Is
swallowed up. of light; thence noth
ing is lost, and all is gained.
. Christian science nit tne mentally
unbalanced and insane to sanity, and
mental balance; and the well balanc
ed and sane it lifts to a standard of
sanity and equilibrium of mind that
can no more fall - and be lost than
God Himself could be lost; for God

Mind; Le.. the only true Mind.
Such are the scientific laws of be
ings, the laws of the Lord, which If
you delight to meditate upon, you
will be prospered in all you do.
Christian Science deal with tne
pure, the perfect, the absolute laws
of God and notfting else; ana una
the so-called laws of mortal man as
false, unreliable. and changeable as
mortality ttseir.
It clears up all questions concern-
