MOMMY, APRIL 21, 1UI0. (.IUNT8 PASS DAILY COl'ltlKIl PA-IK TURK J! LECTURE ON CHRISTIAN I A large nnd appreciative audience listened to the lecture by Charlos 1. Ohrenstuln, 0. 8. II., momber of tba board of lectureship of tba mother church, tho Flint Church of Chrliit, Scientist, In Boston, at the opera house Ut night. P. A. l)aonaull Introduced tho tpeakor, whose lec ture was as follows: The greatest Hngllsh writer, Shake pre, mid, "Thore li nothing cither good or bud, but thinking makes It o." Kor ax lhl ha been recog nlied, and one of the Hebrew prov erbs la to the effect that a one thlnka, so la he. All of ua would probably agree that we desire everything that la uacful. beneficial, and Rood, and that we do not tlHHlre anything uaelnaa, harmful, or bad; consequently, the quoatlon, How may the one, the desirable oc currence, 'be Increased In our ex perience, and the other kind decreas ed or eliminated: woum not oe ai all new or startling to anyone, and a correct answer to It would certainly be of Interest and Importance to us all. One Mind or Principle If thinking, as haa been said. Is the cause of every result, what kind of thinking Is the cause of koocI re sults, and what kind of thinking Is the cause of bad results? If we turn to the textbook of our Insnlred religions, the Bible, we find Ita first teaching to be that In the very beginning God made all that was made, and that all that He made waa not only good, but very good. If we take this teaching tother with what haa been said. It would certain ly mean that, everything being the product of thinking, everything good must be the prodmt of God's think ing, and what Is called Cod must be and la that which alone Is aibln to think. 4!lnd. with everything that It Kood due to His, Mind's, thinking. Now let us turn to what la com monly called science. One of the meanings of this word is. "The know ledge of principles and causes." Prin ciple means that which la ultimate, basic, that which la first or primor dial, and therefore the first cause, In other words, as Cod Is the begin ning of all In theology, eo Principle 1s the basis of everything In Science. It Is that which was In tho begin ning, the source or origin or an. Now. taking this together with our first proposition, that nothing Is but thinking makes It so, we again find that everything being the product of thinking, and everything being the product of Principle, everything must ibe and Is due to the thinking of Principle, and Principle like God must ho and is the prlinnry, the ul timate, consciousness, or Mind. Prom Ihe two foregoing deductions it will be seen thst 'pure religion or Christianity, and pure "knowledge of principles and causes," or Science, are not contrary or antagonistic to each other, but Identical; that by Christian Science they are reconciled, and that tholr Identity or samonens is found .In Christian Silence and only In Christian 8-lonce, which tenches .Jarnt what 'has been stated about Cod, just what baa been atated about Principle, and that God and Princlnle are one: that In the bealn- nlna- God. Principle, made all that waa made: that all that He made waa good: that all that Is good must have, baa, purpose; that, having purpose, it must be due to thinking, which could not ibe the result of any thing but iMInd: that Mind, there fore, must be and Is God, or Princi ple, the primordial cause of all. In Christian Science, then, we have one "Mind, one Principle or mum of all that made all, and of necessity .Mind, or intelligence, made all good; for to have made aught otherwise, this great and only cause would not have been Mind, or wiei II mines But here It may be asked. Do pre vainnt theories theology, the natu ral sciences teach this? And If not. are theee conclusions warrant' rt? Frankly, it must tie aald that, as yet. they do not. It should be nMnit. . however, that Christian Science baa already caused marked ' phunrM dn the thought of mankind. In the teachings of theology and the sciences. In fairness to the more Advanced theologians of our day snd to the most advanced natural scien tists, It must be said that their teachings no longer oppose those of Christian. Science as they formerly did. The more advanced theologians no longer teach that God la corpo real, nor do some of the most-advanced natural scientists any longer teaoh some uncreated, hypothetical "Urstoff," protyle, or atom to be the v ultimate of all. They recognize that In the ultimate everything must and dons reBolve itself not 'Into a dew," but into states of consciousness; that the ultimate of everything miiBt be thought stuff, not matter-stuff, In order to be capable of translation Into thought; that everything must have Its beginning In Intelligence In order to be intelligible. To deny that consciousness, or iMInd, was In the beginning would ibe to deny source for the Intelligence which w express, the Intelligence which every thing in nature manifests. But granted that the unity of Mind or Principle, and so of cause, Is still donled, are we to bid revelation, Tea son, demonstration, halt until the schools approve thorn? Go to the thousands who have been restored by the simple truth that 'has been stnt ed, the truth that God Is the only Prlriclnle. or .Mind, and In proof of it they need but paraphrase Bartl mamiBV statement: Why, herein Is marvelous thing, that ye say know not whether thla Ibe Christian' Hv, whether this be Science, and yet. whoreus, we,' were caraally- minded sorrowful, suspicious, fearful, dis couraged, unfortunate, degraded, sick, now we are spiritually minded, happy, trustful, confident, encour aged, uplifted, surcemrful, well. Mare coincidences these, as the legalized sohool would have us believe? li so, how many incidences does it take to establish the operation of a law or a aolonllflc fact? For there are thousands of Just such coinci dences, and I aland here as the re sult of one of thorn. But what is this Mind, or Princi ple, called God, which of necessity thought and projected all in the be ginning, and pronounced His every projected Idea good, very good, leav ing nothing for atiy other mind to think or to project? Is It a more philosophic abstraction? What are the so-called "iiiluds many" which arrogate to themselves originality and power to think good and to think evil, and to enforce this think ing and to make it manifest? Source of Ihictrine On page 110 of the Christian Sci ence textbook, "Science and Health with Key to tihe Scriptures, Mrs. Eddy tells us, "In following these leadings of scientific revelation, the Bible waa my only textbook ;" and on tin ira 4Q7 ft I hi mmA fonnk. thA flml one of the religions tenets of Chris tian Science roads, "As adherents of Truth, we take the inspired Word of the Bible aa our sufficient guide to eternal Life." Let ua go to the Bible, then, from which are drawn the entire teachings of Christian 8vlence, the book upon the teachings of which Christian Scientists depend for all physical aa well as spiritual needs. Ift us take the Bible, then, together . with Its commentary, the Christian Science textbook, and let us see what that great book, which has withstood all of the assaults of the ages, teaches God to be, snd to be able to do. Let us see what the one and only 'Mind, the source and origin of all, Is. and what It does for all. Is it the "Rock" upon which all may safely build,- "the stone whloh the builders re jected," or Is It a rope of sand; clple recognized that "God ;s love," and so proclaimed God. Christian Scientists, who are striv ing to be the true Israel, contenders for the one true power, like Israel of old, like the disciples of old, are taught by Science to translate thing or mere symbols Into thoughts, the thoughts or Ideas which are the real itli of all symbols. They do this because they recognize, aa haa been said, that everything indicates pur pose, an operation of consciousness, and every purpose an idea; that Klo hlm, the power that was in the begin ning, must be the Principle, the 'Mind, of all that it purposed ajid pro jected, of the universe, Including man, Christian Scientists recognlxe, therefore, that this Mind Is their Mind, this power is their power, this existence, or life, is tbelr life; that this "I am" or universal ego la their true ego or self-hood, and so on. Yes, they recognlxe that this one Father, meaning provider, protector, guard- Ian, monitor, and guide, Is their Father. Human Consciousness But here the question may arise, Of what avail Is all this, what prac tlcal value haa all this to the indi vidual, to the mass; how can it be appliod? Christian Science does not theo rise; It Is practical, demonstrable. tat us look at what humanity calls Its mind, the so-called human con sclousness; of what la that compos ed? Much that la good; more that Is bad. The good may be termed spirituality or unselfishness; the bad. materiality or selfishness Where the one Is, there love is; mere courage, hope, confidence, blessed ness, Joy, peace, freedom, endeavor, achievement are. It Is "the way, the truth, and the lire" of Jeeut and of every true man made manifest. It "vaunteth not Ksclf.

In the light of this, is it strange that Christian Science should bave come when it came, where it came? It came when divine intelligence and Love bad prepared the way for it. and the place for it.

Nor la It strange that It abould have come through woman, aa It la sometimes claimed. Has not woman, without any pride or pomp of any sacerdotal vestments, alway loved the truth, lived the troth, de pended on the truth of God, divine Love, more than men? Has not she alwaye been the natural minis ter of mankind, rendering the ten derest, most sacred service? Has not she hoped all things, orn all things, endured all things, suffered ail things; baa she not been most steadfast, the last with the Savior at the cross, the first to see the risen Christ?

I ,,., I t,. .oWv srirlhrwul supply our needs, and to make us dwell In safety? Illblo Terminology 1 "All are familiar with the fact," snys a learned writer, "that to the Hebrew of Old Testament times, the name of a person, place, or thing was not Intended to he merely dis tinctive, that ia, for the purpose of Identification, as with us. It was rathor intended to Indicate or re veal the nature of the person, place or thing. Thus Jacob, for Instance. means supplanter, and be was given that name because he supplanted his brother at his very birth." Bethel. meaning house of Ood, the place of Jacob's dream, was so named be cause to him, aa he said, "Surely the lxrd Is In this place." and so on. "In deed this vividness of the perception of a characteristic," says the same rlter, "presented that characteristic as sn equivalent of the thing itself. Thus a special or new sense or reve lation of God, meant the formation of a new designation or synonym for Him." Although metaphorical or noetic. In many Instances, these ynonyms or additional names for God are seen in the light of Christian Science to be truly descriptive of His nature and attributes, thus In' creasing our snnse of His eminence imminence, and immanence. His highness, nearness, and permanent Indwelling or doarness: His all-effl-clency. all-snfflclorisy; His love. pro idence, and care for us. To become acquainted with the Bible teaching of God. then, aa Christian Science en ahles all to do, and compels Its ad herenta to do, not through fear or threat but because of complete re liance on Him, is to learn to know Him as the Inspired Bible scribes knew Him. to love Him as they loved Him, to have more confidence in Him, to trust Him as they trusted Him, to have more of that peace which all desire, and to be better able to demonstrate His truth or re ality, Ills power and beneficence. In this Book of books we find no word that meant to the Hebrew of Ita day wbat the word God haa been perverted Into meaning by the people of other climes and of more recent times. Indeed he was forbidden to make for himself any graven Image mental or otherwise, of the supreme Being, forbidden to make for himself msgnlfled or Ideal! red human as his God, and the Hebrew designs' tlons for the Deity "were Intended to Dreclude this.. The earliest of these designations were. El or Elohlm meaning strength or power; Yhwh meaning the existing one, thus ex istence or Life; Ehye-Asher-Ehye. am that 1 am," or again, but In other words, existence; , Shaddal, alwavs coupled with El, aa El Shaddal meaning overpowering strength or supreme power, and Zahaot, mean ing or Hosts, usually coupled with Adonai or IKI. and thus Lord strength of hosts. Jesus' Teachings But let us hear him who spake as never man spake, who taught both ay precept and example as never man taught, whom all of us may with the Magdalen call, Rabbonl, Master Did his teachings contradict those of the more ancient prophets of Israel? No; they amplified, magnl fled, glorified them. Like the He' brews of old, he called God, Elol oho Btrength of me or my strength So closely did. UUs bumble Nazarene wnlk with God, so Intimate' with Him, so obedient to Him was he that he called Him, Father; and not merely "my .Father," but our Fath r," the progenitor or cause of all So sure was he of this Father's abode ttint b.e ,addresed Him In heaven. "Oun miner, wnich art in heaven ind so provldont, so loving of.aU did he know 'this universal, Father to be, that he recognised that the lily of the Held was. clothed by Him. tlie'sparrow'sifall anticipated by His i.w: so f aiy; did this Son of God 11-tst,r?tcj.-,Hl:n, that.,hU '.bOoveuV a:s- er falleth." To lie thus minded Is life and peace; for where love is. there blirs Is, there heaven Is. Now what about the other phase of the human consciousness? Is It not plain that -where materiality and selfishness are, there abide those qualities which constitute them. greed, dishonesty, pride, aggression. envy, hatred, malice. Jealousy, re- enge, lust, hypocrisy, and all other bnormitles? And where these hide, there fear is and the torment of fear: for these form what Paul called "the carnal mind." the enemy of ks own and of every one's good. To be so minded, it must be evident. sin, and "the wages of sin is dmth," the destruction pi this con sciousness and of Its victim, the poor body that merely carries out Its sug gestion, We started out with the proposi tion that everything Is due to think ing; that God is the only Mind, and since nothing but 'Mind can thnik that everything must be due to God's thinking, and that everything that is ue to God's thinking must be good beautiful, true,-eternal. If what has Just been presented Is plain, we are now prepared to scrutinize more closely this pretense to -mentality which Paul called "carnal mind. and Mrs. Eddy calls "mortal mind," and Its so-called thinking, the thinking that projects its phantasm of all "the ills that flesh is heir to. calling its existence; devisee its theol ogies which blame God for the whole project: formulates Its sciences which analyze this project and find It real, and everything contrary to it unreal. Ills and ThHr Causes Looking out upon this material sense of existence can anyone deny that in its greatest ( satisfactions gains, losses; in Its rejoicings, var ouslngs, griefs, mournings. Its whole entity trembles, qnakes with forebod Ing and with fear? And la this strange? Does not every one know that but a little while, and all that It holds dear, its all-in-all, will be gone; that it is all a shadow, the so lution of which is dissolution? Do Christian Scientists deny this? No. Christian Scientists recognize It all as does no one else. They recognize that it la all due to the carnal mind misconception) of everything, a mis conception In whl"h nothing Is or can be due to God, Spirit; in which everything is separate and esenarated from Him; everything u Hi mates in selflsm, selfishness and and all , its fears, fears that come of the partaking of this mis conception of being, the belief in powers, presences, thoughts, that are not only not emanations from God good, but are contradictions of Him Materiality this kind of mind means not only to tear, H Is fear, torment, misery; for behind It stalks Its doom, mortality, destruction Let us look, upon the world s rest lessness, hurry, bustle; its driving and its driven; Its' extortion, lnhu manlty, and misery of every kind its pride, arrogance, oppressions; its Independence of Principle, uod, and Its dependence upon everything else Its debauchlngs and debauched; Its private strifes and publlo wars; Its carnage, suffering, insanity, sickness death! and then let us remember that, "there Is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes u so, Are the things that we have enumer ated, the products of right thinking the thlnWng of that "Spirit," Mind, which "beareth witness with out spirit (the good in human con sclousness), that we are the chtldren of God'?
