A LECTURE
ON
Christian Science
KnlithHl
CbrbitiMN H-it-P-" : (mmI's Kiy-L.i-lion
of tyHrilual Healing
BY
JUDGE FREDEEICK C. HILL, C.
Member of the Board of Lecture
ship of The Mother, Church. The
First Church of Christ. Scien
tist, in Boston. Massachusetts.
Christian Science, is, us its
name implies, essentially Chris
tian and its practice being pre
dicated upon absolute law, it
brings healing from sickness and
deliverance from sin. This being
the case. Christian Science, as a
great religious movement must be
based upon '& revelation of the
teachings and practical truths pre
sented in the Bible. Lest there be
confusion in tho thought of those
who have never investigated this
subject. I assure you at the outset
that Christian Scientists use for
their study and in all their church
services one Bible authority, that
of the King James version of the
Old and the New (Ttestaments.
Christian Science as it is pre
sented to you and to me came
through the discovery by Mary
Baker Eddy "of the operation of
absolute, fixed spiritual law. In
an impartial investigation of
Christian Science it is desirable, in
fact quite essential to know some
what of its Discoverer and Found
er. I feel quite safe in assuming
that my early experience in the
investigation of this subject is
similar to yours. My first impulse
was to injure. "Who Js Mrs.
Eddy?" "What did she discover
and found?" The answer to these
questions is simple and helpful.
Mrs. Eddy was a devout and
lovable, New England woman,
deeply interested in tbe Bible.
Early in childhood she displayed
a keen perception of the underly
ing truths contained in Bible nar
ratives'. Through her research
and study of the Bible she noted
ibki peneci irusi ana commence
2 . m mm .1. l
ui uoa s laws were louoweu uj
permanent and ' fixed results and
that blessing and healing were
part and parcel of His Infinite
plan. Hence Mrs. Eddy discovered
and proved the divine, laws of
Life, Truth and Love. After this
discovery she subjected it' to proof
and being convinced of the heal
ing and redeeming ministrations
of these spiritual laws she determ
ined to give to tbe world the
benefit 6? her observation and dis
covery. Accordingly she wrote
and published "Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" and
designated it the Christian Science
textbook. The reading and study
of thisr book, in connection with
the Bible, has brought health and
healing to many and is indeed a
key to God's inspired Word. the
Bible.
Regardless of conflicting re:
ports. I make this positive and
emphatic declaration of fact:
Mary Baker Eddy is the Discov
erer and Founder of Christian
Science and has been so decreed
by our courts.
It will early be discovered that

Christian Science emphasizes the
final destruction of sin and the
healing of todily infirmity. Some
of our religious friends have of
fered the criticism that Christian
Scientists make too much of the
healing clement. At no time docs
the human mind part with cher
ished beliefs for relinquish tradi
tioiiifl claims until proof, clear and
positive, has been presented show
ing that there is a better way. it
is not surprising, therefore, that
after material-methods have failed
and Christian Science treatment
has restored health and happiness
to the individual very much should
be thought add made of the heal
ing element. In fact, all Christian
Science practice isr healing in
character whether it is applied to
bodily afflictions or to other forms
of discord. 5 .
Mrs. Eddy; has 'discovered and
applied the laws of Spirit. The
false beliefs regarding these laws
or the willfuljrejection of them in
no way affect their intrinsic value
and they remain ever available to
all who will understand and apply
them according to their Principle.
Christian Science is applying the
red letters "Counterfeit" to the
false conclusions and the false be
liefs masquerading as realities in
the human mind. It is unfolding
to the receptive thought and bring
ing into human experience posi
tive proof that. "There is' no life,
truth, intelligence or substance in
matter" and that "Spirit is the
real and eternal." (Science and
Health-page 4&8) This reality is
the basic fundamental state of be
ing. The practice of Christian
Science is destroying the unreal,
counterfeit values of human be
liefs and is brifnging into view the
basic, Bcientifib facts of spiritual
truth. It is furnishing undeniable
proof that ignorance and false be
lief have no part or place in God's
creation.
In the consideration of Chris
tian Science St is absolutely es
sential to understand the nature
of good and evil and to be able
to distinguish between that which
is intrinsically good and that
which presents merely the appear
ance of good.? Christian Science
declares in no. uncortain manner
that God is the; source of all good
and that the human, the carnal
mind is the procuring cause of
all evil, ft presents logical, irre
futable proor that man lives' by
divine decree, and that the Scrip
tural text, 'In Him we live and
love and have pur being" declares
the real status of man and not
merely an emotional theory. It
declare emphatically that evi! is
not a person, place or thing; that
it is not a cause or creator ?n'd
that there is no realm or domin
ion over which evil is the sov
ereign power. In fact, it denies
that evil has any power except
such as it- assumes in human be
lief and it then destroys this as
sumed power by overcoming the
human mind with the divine Mind.
Christian Science presents to
you the conception of God as in
finite Mind, Spirit, Soul. Principle,
Life, Truth, Love. It presents
nothing about Him . save that
which is supported "and sustained
by Bible authority and which is
rational and comforting. When
it is perceived that .God is Infinite

There is 8 very erroneous an
b
un-Christian belief ignorantly
tertained by many concerning
en
the ttitud of Christian Scientists
to-
ward the experiences called sick
k
is ness and death. The opinion
often erroneously entertained
they are unmindful of these
that
dis
and tressing human conditions
that they offer no relief to
those
.ho unfortunately suffer from
m
be
thfise beliefs. Nothing could
farther from the ruth. They freely
admit that these conditions
call
for the highest degree of human
compassion and they are proving
their usefulness and competency
by supplying humanitarian com
passion in a most effectual Chris
tion manner.
They are healing sickness, sor
row and dire distress in tbe most
effectual way. '
A Christian Science treatment
is a conscientious effort based
upon a sincere desire to bring into
human experience "the enduring,
the good, and the true" so that by
the renwing of the mind it can be
proved what is that "perfect will
of God."
There is great lack of under
standing among Christian people
as to what constitutes true prayer.
They pray continually and under
standing and the fruits of their
prayers arc rich blessings' to hu
manity. It must be remembered
however, that in their prayers
they do not supplicate God to con
form His will to theirs or to,
change His infinite design. Neither
do they charge Him with human
delinquincies and as-a matter of
course they do not petition Ilim
to remedy or correct that which
He has not created. They do pray
to Him from the standpoint of sin
cere desire and "absolute faith
that all things are possible to
Him," and such prayer is an
swered by driving out of human
consciousness the diseased, erron
eous images of thoughtnd letting
in the light of God's man created
in His image and likeness.
