MISS BR00KINS ON
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
The Doctrin of Mra. Eddy Ex
pounded by Prominent
Lady Lecturer.
An appreciative audience waa in at
tendance at the Opera Hooae laat Mon
day evening to hear Miaa Miry Brook
ina, O. 8. B., of Minneapolis, lecture
on Chriatian Science, the aobject be
ing "Chriatianity la Science and
Demonstrable'.' The apeaker waa in
troduced by Judge Booth, who aaid in
part aa follows :
"Ladles aud Gentlemen: We have
with oa tonight a very distinguished
lady in the person of Miss Mary
Brookins, of Minneapolis. We have
the opportunity and privilege of bear
ing a noted lecturer, one of the eigh
teen members constituting the board
of lecturers for the United State, and
if am correctly advised, one of the
eighteen of the entire orld, clothed
witli authority to lecture publicly up
on the subject of Chriatian Hoi- uce.
The public presa and many distin
guished persons throughout the coun
try have apoken , in highest terms of
Miss Brookina. The honor 'of intro
ducing a lady so distinguished lias
been conferred upon me, who is not a
member of the society, by the local
memhers in authority. I, therefore,
esteem It a privilege to be permitted
to do as mncli, aud I now take great
pleasure, ladies ana gentlemen, in pre
senting to you at this time Miss Mary
BrooUus, and ask you to give her a
careful aud patient hcariug. "
Miaa Brookina' address, in part, was
a follows:
Christ Jesus expounded and exempli
fied Life that means power, authority,
dominion over the Mesh, it was not
after the storm had subsided, but in
the very midst of its fury that He said :
"Peace, be still," aud there waa u
great calm. He did not wait for the
ascension before declaring : "I have
overcome the world."
In view of these asNuraiicea of mau't
dominion oer all material elements,
illustrated by what has actually oc
curred, it will never lie found in the
mind of man to be content with any
thing losa than the conscious posses
sion and exeroise of life that is in per
fect conxonauce with absolute good.
Christian Science teaches that the
two Chriatian oflioes of pieachiug the
gospel aud healing the sick are so in-
aeperable, ao equal in importance, and
so identified in porpone and method
that one's Christian life la incomplete
if eiher one is omitted. In a system
wherein science and religion are one,
the theology must be curativn.
Christian Scientists have been called
a prayerlesa people, but like many of
the atatementa'concerning them, thia
one is quite the opposite of the fact.
Indeed, it ia only through the teach
ings of thia Science that we have found
it possible to obey the acriptural in
junction: "Pray without ceasing"
While no ooe can be continually in
the attitude of prayer, nor forever re
peating ita words or formulae, one can
always be in silent spiritual commun
ion with hia God.
Through the peculiar method of our
church aervice, in which the entire
congregation is privileged to partici
pate, our people are turned to closer
and more general study of the Holy
Scriptures. It would be impossible to
find any class of people more devoted
to the study of the Bible than the
Christian Scientists are, for they have
learued to regard it, not so much a
history of the past nor a prophecy of
the futrue as a revelation of eternal
Truth, which ia "the same yesterday,
today and forever," and which conse
quently applies with, full force to the
needs of the present time.
Ho this Science that is religions be
cause it is of God, and this religion
that is scientific because it is foumied
upon eternal fai t, instead of fancy or
blind faith, aud are welded into one
sound and demonstrable doctrine,
whose verity is attested by "sigua fol
lowing. " Though not given much to
Btatisiicr, we can say without exagger
ation that manv hundreds of thous
ands of so-called incurable cases of
disease have been healed through
Christian Science. Notwithstanding
this astounding statement its work is
by no means confine! to the euro of
physical ills rather is this incidental
to the vastly greater mission of heal
ing siu and leading iu all matters of
genuine reform. It reclaims the sin
ner, not through fear of punishment
nor anticipation of reward, but by the
supremacy of Mind that is good, dis
pelling the illusion of his love of sin,
and by so uplifting his sense of good
aud enlarging his atfectlon for it, that
he ceases to find satisfaction ill aught
but the way of holiness. Hosts of
people have been and are being healed
of the appetite for intoxicants, tobacco
ami opium through this sort of teui
periinco work proving it to be a
prohibition Iliac actually doea prohibit
the sin itfdf instead ot spending its
energies in the fruitless attempt to
prevent the consequences of siu.
And here let oh m tc, as we have
seeu before, that there is that native
quality of aspiration, inherent in
humanity, that will never, in its hope,
and expectancy, and eager pursuit,
stop short of tliu absolute, the iufiuite,
the everlasting Truth itself.
Tli is being the case, there must be
an exact ami unmistakable way to
this acme of achievement, this long
for goal, this "tne desired of all na
tion!, "and'we believe inch a way to

Revered Leader and Teacber, Rev.
Mary Baker Eddy, in what baa been
named by her, "Christian Science."
We also believe that the teacliioga of
thia Science, once thoroughly under
atood and rightly practiced, are folly
adequate to the accomplishment of
even ao infinite an end.
I am well aware tbat thia ia a
mighty assertion and that it may aeem
to many a prepostsroni claim. But
anyone who, having ears will bear, or
having eyea will read what we bave
to say, will find that we are ready to
give many a reasonable reason tor tbe
hope that ia in ua, and, that it ia aim
