The atomic theory was the foundstlon

Christian Science. Briefly, thla theory
taught that In the process of subdivision
of matter, a point must lie reached st
which no further division could be msde.
Physios termed thla Irreducible psrllcle
of matter the atom snd upon It raised
the entire structure of natural si lence.

logical that there could be an Indivisible
portion of matter. ' Anything that could
be divided. I contended, could be divided

college, course was complete, the stomtv
thsory begsn to crumble. The atom waa
split In two, snd not only in two, but
wss divided msny times, until at Isst
mstter as matter disappeared. Freed
from the limitations of the - atomic
theory, thought began to expand and the
conquest of matter received an Impetus.
Chemistry, physics, the arts, gained the
benefit of liberated thought and many
useful inventions came, giving evidence
of man's dominion over sll ths eaith.

men thst Ood Is a Uod not to be feared,

THE TU COO.
Since time and mortal man began, men
luv tried to know Uod materially, to
worship liim materially, and to attribute
to Jilm all material phenomena: yet
Jesus' words are true: "Uod is Spirit,
and they that worship Him must wor
ship Him in Spirit and In Truth." ' The
human - mind haa always turned to a
power -outside Itself In times of stress,
thereby acknowledging its own InsuffU
clency, but ita gods have been merely
humsn concepts snd hsve taken material
form and nature. Vet even Idolaters
bowing down to images conceive them
to be representatives of a power- not
material. The false gods of mortals are
Just false beliefs about Deity, they are
the externalised Ideals of the human
mind.
Christian Science teaches, aa most re'
llgious beliefs agree, and as reason con
firms, thst there must be a primary
cause for all things that ist, and that

UNITY DEMONSTRABLE.
When a enan begins to learn the pro
found significance of the divine unity,
ho begins to throw off the limitations
of Ignorance. Man being Indiasolubly
linked by Science te Ills Maker and pos
sessing forever the qualities of the In
finite Principle, the learner sees that
his achievement Is limited In no proper
direction of thought, that Indeed all that
the Kather haa ia his. In the degree of
his spiritual apprehension of the great
fact of the oneneas of Uod and man, he
sees how it was possible for Jesus to
prove that unity, or at-one-ment, and
so- to make the atonement. So. also,
In the degree of his spirituality, he him

thus working out his own sal
vation In obedience to the Scriptural
command, secure In the assurance. "For
it is Uo.1 that worketii in you." It ia
evident that the desire to sin or the abil
ity to ain cannot be present with the
realisation of man'a divine unity with
good, for sin is a departure from good,
and could be present, even In belief, tn
the supposed alwence. only, of Ood. But
God's omnipresence is evli's never pres
ence. Thus the learner catches a glimpse
of the Infinite possibilities of msn at
one with God and he atrlvea henceforth
tn be like Him, to have the divine llke
neaa. , Uod'a everpresence ia the ever
preaence of Oood, and where Uod ia,
there ia - man also.
And so . becauae God is all Being, and
haa within Himself the qualities of Be
ing, we Christian Scientists are striving
to be like Him. Because God la Spirit,
we are working to become spiritual in
thought and deed. Because Uod Is
Truth, we must be truthful. Because
Ood is love, we should tie loving, lov
able, lovely. Because Uod Is Principle,
we are endeavoring' 6 "be- principled in
all our ways. Christian Scientists are
no longer satisfied With former stan
dsrds of honesty, we are learning that
a man may lie sincere snd earnest and
yet have little apprehension of Prin
ciple. The future of maniknd under the
government of Principle is foreshown in
the progress of Christian Scientists to
day. I,et me illustrate how the leaven
of Principle is workine in humsn lives.

(Mia. p. 111. 25-27.)
THE LEAVEN IN MEDICINE.
Nowhere ia the kaleidoscopic charac
ter of the human mind to be observed
more atriklngly than in the history of
material medicine. In my senior year
in medical college, I was required to de
vote much study to "The Principles and
Practice of Medicine." A better tetm
for the subject would have been. "The
Principles and Practice of Medicine for
1900." Material medicine has alway
lieen In a state of flux, because it has
never of itself risen, in theory or prac
tice, above matter. Kven when the mut
ter physician discourses learnedly on
mind and deala with paycho-analysis,
psycho-neurosis, psycho-therapy, and
psycho-what not, he deals none the lesa
with matter, for to the materialist, mind
mesne little else than brain-matter.
While the materialist has not yet learned
that matter and mortal mind are one,
nevertheless the healing art la drawing
nearer the truth aa revealed In Chris
tian Science. Progressive phylclns. In
practice, are steadily reducing their le
gion of remedie. Many doctor admit
that there I no specific medicine. Many
boast lhat they limit their practice to
four or five drugs. I rive even known
physician who declared that a phyiiu:
and a pain-reliever comprised their en
tire materia medk-a. It Is evident that
If one can reduce the pharmacopoeia
in practice to one or two remediea, he
can take the next step and eliminate
the drug entirely from medical practice.
It may lie argued that Uod placed
drugs here and endowed them with heal
ing power. When did Spirit, Ood. dele
gate to matter divine power? Material
medicine did not qualify for Christie 1
healing In Jesus' cay. He Ignored it
and turned Instead to purely spiritual
means. Could Jesu in his wisdom con
sistently have chosen an unscientific,
and hence untrue, method with which to
.prove his wonderoua power to heal?
Moreover, Jesus waa not alone In his
Christian practice. The Bible it full uf
the teaching and practice of aplrltual
healing, but you will search lu pages
In vain for an authentic case of heating
by material means. Even so today ma
terial medicine faila to qualify. It is
not the Christ method of healing. Noth
ing spiritual can come out of a wholly
material system,' and material medicine
is such, indeed, not one spiritual qual
ity does It embody in Its theory or re
quire In its practice. The very study of
material medicine leads one away from
the spiritual. Who has ever found soul
or spirit in the dissec ting room, on the
operating table, or under the microscope?
I am aware that many noble men and
women, true Christians, are in the med
ical nrofeasion. To them alt honor and
respect! Kor It is obvioua that these
are such, not because of. but in spite
of their professional training.
If you were to ask any medical en
thusiast to name the greatest scientific
achievement of the age, doubtless he
would say: "Preventive medicine." Now
wlth tlmt Christian Science agrees, but
points out that, since anything, to lie j ual. xThe Manual of The Mother Church,
medicine, must first be regarded as such, j adequate now aa alwaya to guard, ts
medicine Is mental, not material. There- ( govern and to guide The Church, its Be

ity. These she recogniied to constitute
public health. As for so-called com
municable diseases. Mrs. Kddy required
strict obedience to quarantine regula
tions, respecting not only the law of the
land, but public sentiment also. 'Never
theless, she knew that the only real
germ Is the germ of spiritual Truth,
which when cultured in human con
sciousness, never ceases its growth till
the whole lump of mortal thought is
spiritualised and mans true self-hood
appears. This germ is highly infectious
and contagious, yet it produces, not dis
ease, but health, not discord, but har
mony, not death, but life.
But you say, how can one question the
germ theory of disease when one may
readier see the actual germ under the
microscope? The germ theory Is not
provable bv the microscope any more
surely than a mirage of the desert
would be established as a reality because
seen through a telesi-ope. Neither mag
nifying nor minimising error can make
It true.
As to the germ theory of disease, there
has arisen the usual failure of the doc
tors to agree. A famous military sur
geon recently Is reported to have said
that the more bacteria one breathed, the
less liable one would bscome to disease,
bcause o f the immunity established
through the system becoming accustomed
to foul conditions. In other words. 10
become immune from disease, get on fa
miliar terms with disease germs. Pa-,
niliaritv with bacteria. It seems, breeds
not only contempt but immunity. Nev
ertheless, such immunity is not material,
after all. but mental. That would seem
to be borne out by the fact that phy
sicians rarelv take the diseases with
which they are thrown. (They almost
never take their own medicine. 1
Aaain. a class of investigators, mini-1
ber'nx representatives of the Public
Health Service, and manv scientists
from our great universities, enter a
complete dental of the germ theory', sub-1
atitutina- therefor the worm theory.
These scientists aver thst so-called germ
diseases ni-e In reality worm diseases and
already the lengthy list of vegetable
bacteria is paralleled by a replacer set of
animal worms. There would seem to be
small choice between being consumed by
germs or eaten hy worms, but this inno
vation In medical theories presents an
other realignment of the medical kaleid
oscone. The facts are that just as the atomic
Tbcorv gave place to chanKing thought,
embodied In the theory that matter is
electricity or holes In the ether, nnd thus
prefigured further and mine Ileal ly final
theories, so has the germ theory of dis
ease heun to itisintegate. under the
restlv eness or the material rcientlst s
thiist for ultimate knowledae. A short
time sko. it was considered fully to chul
lenge the germ theory. Today, we have
actually airive.i at its breaking up.
There aie laige and ginwiiiK numbers
of the medical faculty who boldly dis
claim thai Ivacteria have anything more

disease. Bv these authorities disease

Is his mentality. Metaphysically views,!,
this new medical theory reveals that
mortal man la made ill bv his own false

ago. The proper, the scientific Way, to
get rid of disease is not to excise ths
effect, but rather to cor re t the cause.
Christian Sh enc heals and prevents

of false beliefs by the application to them
of spiritual truth.

THE DISCOVERER, tOOSOZ!,
LEADER.
What shall we say ef the t:eery
of Christian Science of th Fo'.iQ-ief of
trie y-venniii, ut -r who at today aa
s.r:e has cesar fi'jrc. the beglc:.irg, 11 in
spired ln-.:r? What ar.ell ve ssy of
that good vnd pure w.,niai. Cat Mary,
who echoed the cry ef tne prophet of
old: "KeV.ve li.y work, O Ixird; in th
midst c-f the yef.i 1 i,-.s? known.'
Through he inspiration and devotion, t'
multitude tlie way 0 health a.iJ holi
ness has been made known, in dosotat
hearts the work of rtchteournesj ha
been revived. Mary liaker l-dy, fruil
of body, though slrnrg tn cpiMt. at th
age of forty-five, viewed not her life In
retrospect, but with forward vis.cn en
tered with eagerness upon a Hie of un
remitting toil in the service cf human
ity. Have you ever heard It said that God
did not seek Mr. Kddy? O.l. but He
did seek her! He chose her to be thst
Hevelator of Truth, Christ to this age,
becauae the sought Uod aa the eoctcs
of ultimate Truth, sought Him to de
votedly that ahe became worthy to re
ceive and to reflect the message Cod had
for Juat such a purified consciousness is
hers. Whatever God doea to man, i,e
does through man, and He alwaya idlHt
the individual best fitted for tne work.
Mrs. Kddy sought Uod and foucd Him
upon the Sinai of revelation, the Ho-sj
peak of uplifted spiritual thought. There,
alone with God, sbe wrote tne Christian
S'-ience leitliook. Science and Healvk
w ith Key to tlie Scriptoies. a book whib
second only to tlie Bi.i.ct in ft influen
upon human lives, is operating to heal
and to save. There, alone with God, an
founded a great Church, tlie only oigan
Ization in the worid'4 history greater
and stronger than the individual com
prising its membership. There, alone
with God, she wrote Tlie Church Man-
1 accomplish. I .Manual, p. j.)
In her hook. Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures. Mr. Kddy telle
us that the Bible waa her only guide to
the Mount of Vision, the never failing
aource of her Inspiration. Patiently ahe
sought its treasures, lound them, and
gave them to the world. Hers w-as a
love for humanity that gave all and
asked nothing in return. She has re
ceived without measure the love and
gratitude of counties thousands, who
live ahe ordered out of chaos, to whom
she brought the bea.ing and aaving
Christ and who through her precept and
example are learning how it is that "ths
meek shall Inherit the earth."
Mrs. Eddy's writings are remarkable
in their exposition and comprehension ot
theology, ecience. medicine, law, ths
arts, music, astronomy, mathematics.
The spiritual leaven in Per thought cast
out limitations and quickened her human,
intellect to higher and clearer views and
understanding. Her wisdom was indeed
profound, for it transcended book and
human knowledge. She illustrated tho
truth of what she wrote in Science and
Health (p. 12S; "A knowledge of the
Science of being developes the latent
abilities and possibilitiee of man." Mrs.
Kddy received instruction from God and
her life measurably prefigured that dayl
when they shall "all be taught of God."
Her experience was a preparatory achool
which she did not fail to improve. She
Buffered long and was kind. She waa
patient beyond belief. She knew aa few
have known how to wait on God. She
was ever grateful for the discipline of
pnttence. but when the time for action
hud fully come, she waited not upon the
order of action. Her initiative never
failed, but she predicated every mova
upon divine orders. "Thus said the
lord" was her call to action and alt
changed her mind only when God chang
ed it. Such characters have been the
truly great of history. They have not
been responsive to evil's arguments, nor
found leading a vicious cause. Mr.
Kdily's life was the exemplification ot
her own words: "Rich hope have 1 in
him who says in his heart:
I will listen for Thy voice.
Lest my footsteps stray;
I will follow and rejoice.
All the rugged way."
(My. p. !01.)
CONCLUSION.
A little leaven leaveneth the whole
lump, causeth the whole mass to fer
ment. The nature of Christian Science
ia to communicate Itself. When th
leaven of Spirit is planted In human
consciousness, nothing can prevent its
fulfillment in renewed being. Can the
leopard change hla spots? No, but Ood,
can change them. If Christian Science
seems to find no response m om. If
in some tliere eem no evidnc 01
spiritual awakening, remember that when
a wiiman took leaven and hid It tn hu
man consciousness, she planted It for
all mankind. The ferment In general
human mind and Ita activities is al work
in every individual consciousness. Be
neath an unreaponsiv exterior thers
may he a heart alive with ferment.
There is present in every man soma
grain of the spiritual leaven, and how
ever small, however deeply buried in
matter'a eeeming dominance, that dlvln
influence is at work.
My friend, ia the way tol you rough
and rugged? Doea the heart grow
weary." Ho the fet tag? Re of good
cheer: The leaven 1 at work: They
