irroTOKD MAIL TRTBFTCK. MTDFOTCO, fYRFOON". FRTDAV. 'ATim, 12. TttW PAGE FIFTEEN A Lecture on Christian Science Entitled Christian Science: The Conquest Over Wrong Thinking by John Randall Dunn, C. S. B. of Bob! on, Masarhuaetts Member of the Board of Lwtnrep,hln of Th Mother Church. The Kir Church of Christ. Scientist, m Boa ton, Massachusetts. There never was a moment in the world's history when think ing was more necessary than to day, deep, prayerful thinking; constructive thinking, and last but Dot least, thinking along spiritual lines. The teachings of Christ Jesus appeal to the thinker. Two of hie cardinal precepts are. "Know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" and "This Is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God. and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." Here is a statement of law that freedom and eternal life can be experienced as one knows the truth about God and His reflection. No tice that a stronger word than thinking Is used here. The Master did not promise deliverance and freedom to the one who merely thought about the truth, but to the one who knew the truth. Here really is the point of distinction between Mary Baker Eddy and the philosophers and thinkers who preceded and followed her. They may have glimpsed the spirit of the metaphysical aspects of being; but she perceived, that is. Knew, to truth, and demonstrated that she knew it by solving both for herself and others all manner of human probtems. She healed sick ness, sin, appetite, lack, unhappl nenfi. and human anguish as they have not been healed since the days of the Master and his apos tle. To aver that the healing which Mrs. Eddy taught and prac ticed is just a form of mental suggestion that she learned from a magnetic doctor and therefore that she is not the genuine author of Christian Science, is as vain as would be the assertion that Colum bus was not the discoverer of the West Indies, because, perchance, someone once told him that there must be land beyond the horizon! CHRTPTIjT KNOWING OR CHRISTIAN SCIENCE From early childhood Mrs. Eddy, in the atmosphere of a Christian home, had been search ing for this truth, thin spiritual knowing. She writes Science and Health, p. 369): "From Puritan parents, the discoverer of Chris tian Science early received her re ligious education. In childhood, she often listened with joy to these words, falling from the lips of her saintly mother, Ood Is able to raise you up from sickness;' and she pondered the meaning of that Scripture she so often quotes: 'And these signs shall follow them that believe; . . . they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.' " So when, in later years, she was able to heal the sick, through Christian knowing, she demonstrated beyond cavil that th in ki ng as Ch rist Jesu s thought, solves all manner of hu man problems, .and reinstates primitive Christianity. When one considers that the words "Chris tian Science" can mean only Christly or spiritual knowing, one sees that Mrs. Eddy could not have found a more felicitous term for her discovery. MRS. EDDY. A KNOWER AND DEMONSTRATOR OF TRUTH Truly was Mrs. Eddy a Chris tian Scientist, a knower and dem onstrator of the Master's teach ings. I once asked an acquaint ance of Mrs. Eddy's what his im pressions were the first time he saw her. He replied: "I seemed to lose sight of a material per sonality altogether. In fact, in stead of thinking of the woman before me at all I found myself Baying over and over again, 'I want to be good!' " This Christian woman's thought was sucli a clear, clean wtndowpane, such a trans parency for spiritual good, that in stead of dazzling one with a bril liant human personality and intel lect, she awakened a yearning to partake of the Christliness she re flected. Loyalty to Mrs. Eddy's teachings, therefore, means loyaJ ay and obedience to the pure met aphysics of Christ Jesus. THE MIND WHICH WAS IN CHRIST JESUS If one could put in one single phrase mankind's greatest need at the moment, such phrase might! well be: to have that "mind . . . which was also in Christ Jesus." If we knew what Jesus knew we should be able to solve every hu man problem. We should be able to heal sickness, manifest abund ance, and exercise dominion over every untoward circumstance. Ah, says the materialist, but that's the difficulty! To know what Jesus knew! Was not his understand ing supernatural, divine, beyond ; the reach of mortals today? What says the Master to this? "Verily, verily, I say unto you. He that be lieveth on me (in other words, he who understands the Principle and law I teach), the works that I do shall be do also." Again, he de clared that he did not the mighty works by himself, to use his words It was "the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works;" and the Apostle Paul evi dently believed that It wss possible for the same Father, the same power, to dwell with all mankind j when be said. "Let this mind be i In you. which was also in Christ I Jesus." ' "hinid Harum" In r anuria MONTREAL (UPl Herr C. A C. Grfrr of Hsmburg. Germany, known s the ' worlds preate?t barterer."

Now he is m M'jntrva. trying to find someone a-ho will swap i GOD AS MTND,. SPIRIT Answering the question, "What Is God?" Mrs. Eddy tells us in the textbook (p. 465) that "God is incorporeal, divine, supreme. In finite Mind. Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life. Truth, Love." It will be noted here that the first definitions are Mind and Spirit: Mind, the all knowing intelligence, and Spirit, omnipresent, omnipotent good. Would any thinking person In the world assert that there is no God ! If God were understood to be the all-knowing intelligence and ever present good and Love? When ever one says "I know." or "I want to be good or do Boms good," or "I love." he admits that God is. for is he not at that moment expressing Intelligence and good and Love? When a Russian com munist tells you that he does not believe in God and that he hates God you may know that he is re ferring only to a false conception of God, for no thinking being can disbelieve in the existence of In telligence and good, of Truth and Love and Principle. Can one look at the wonder of the simplest bud or blossom and fall to see therein a hint of some mighty law of Life or Mind? HOW CAN MTND HEAL THE SICK? Now since there is a mighty Principle, or cause, underlying man and the universe and this great cause is divine Mind, or Spirit, in what way can this power be invoked for the healing of dis ease or the solving of problems? By learning of the real man's eter nal connection with this Mind. The Apostle Paul very definitely Indicates that there seems to be to our sense of things two men one the carnal, floshly man, or the "old man," which Is to be put off, and the other characterized as the "new man," or the real, spiritual man of God's creating, which is to be put on. Clearly does Paul draw the distinction between the two: "To be carnally minded 1 death; but to be spiritually minded Is life and peace." Here Christian Sci ence makes to the human family a very revolutionary and startling statement It tells us that this material sen--' of things that we see with on yes is not the real man, not Goti s man, and that we must gain a new conception of1 man ; in other words, we must first learn that the real man is the; image, or expression, of Mind, if we would heal the sick and solve! earth's problems on a spiritual I basis. In the first chapter of Genesis we read, "So God created man In his own Image, in the image of God created he him." Let us read this verse, substituting for the word God the synonymous Mind and Spirit: So Mind, Spirit, cre ated man In His own image, in the Image of Mind, Spirit, created He him. Now to be tne image or Mind, or Spirit, the real man must be mental or spiritual; in other words, he must reflect or express the all-knowing intelligence, om- niactive good, that Spirit or con sciousness which is omnipotence, omnipresence, and omniscience. CARNAL MIND BEFOGGED Here someone may say: "If it is true that God's creation is spirit ual, how in It that this spiritual sense is so Intangible, while ma teriality seems so real and sub stantial?" Simply because the car nal mind Is befogged in Its own erroneous. limited conception. The very first appearance of a ma terial sense of things came In a mist. It will be recalled that there Is no record of a material creation in the first chapter of Genesis. There man and creation proceed from Mind. Spirit, and are pro nounced very good. But In the second chapter of Genesis, before Adam and Eve, depicting a mate rial ereatlon, appear, we read this significant statement: "But there went up a mist from the earth." A mist arose; and with the coming of a mist came the material, sick, sinning, dying sense of man and creation. And to this day, when ever and wherever the carnal mind asserts Itself one sees through a mist of ignorance, or fear, or self will, and naturally cannot cognize creation as God sees It, LUCIFER'S "I WILL!" The carnal mind, or the adver sary, or Satan, is typified in Isaiah as Lucifer, a so-called Intelligence which dares to set itsolf up against Mind. God. Says the Scripture: "How art thou fallen from heaven, 0 Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said In thine heart, J tnll ascend unto heaven, will exalt my throne above the stars of God: wU sit aUo upon the mount of the congregation In the sides of the north: will ascend above the heights of the clouds; will be like the most High." A well known commentator of the Bible, Dr. Scofield, states, In a memor able footnote, "When Lucifer said I will,' sin began." What says the master Christian about Lucifer or Satan? "When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he Is a liar, and the father of it." Thus Christian Sci ence boldly disputes the "I wills" of the carnal mind, such as "I will be sick" or "I will be sensual" or "I will show you that matter is as real and powerful as Spirit!" Itde nominates the arguments and the objectlficatlons of the carnal mind aA frauds, lies, outrageously perpe trated on humanity because of the mist of ignorance; and putting In the place thereof the glorious, se rene "I AM THAT I AM" of Mind, and man as the reflection of this "I AM." sickness disappears, sin lessens, and the carnal, fleshly sense of being is put off. Mind does not need to say "I will"; Mind saith "I AM!" KNOWING THE ONENESS OF MIND There Is no greater need at the moment thsn that mortals should strive to demonstrate that in truth there are not mlndr many but one alone: not a thousand million La- Canadian salmon and wool for 0r ! man goods.

Then the student Is ready I his master. A subtle temptation. to reach out tn a prayer for the blessing of the whole human family. DEALING WITH THE MENTAL ADVERSARY Now let us suppose that one who is a student of Christian Sci ence has just awakened in the morning and his first conscious thought possibly finds him instinc tively turning to the "Daily Pray er;" but no sooner is this finished than a troop of fears appears at the door of his mental home, sug gestions of fear of lack, fear of dis ease, fear of failure, etc., etc. How are these to be dealt with? They clamor for admission, for recogni tion. The Christian Scientist is taught to deal with this mental adversary speedily. Like the sen try who halts all who draw near him and asks for a password, so the Christian Science soldier chal lenges these Intruding suggestions of fear and demands their creden tials. Did they originate in God. the Mind which is Love and good? Never! Then they are emissaries of the carnal mind, and Jesus said they were lies. Shall a lie be feared? Has It power? Only that which ignorance might give it. Then may the Christian Science soldier bid it be gone. Nay, he must thank God that it Is not hap pening in His harmonious king dom. It must be seen that the very corner stone of the teaching of Christian Science is the allaese of God. the Mind which Is good, and the consequent powerlessness or unreality of Its opposite, the carnal mind, designated by JesuB as "a liar, and the father" of all lies. HANDLING A PROBLEM OF LACK Now while some of the more ag gressive fear-suggestions may be silenced there is one persistent argument that seems to refuse to be downed. It whispers: But you haven't money enough for your needs! You must have money! Here Lucifer has resorted to the use of one of his most subtle and most fear-provoking weapons, and truly does one need to have well buckled on his armor of spiritual understanding. If he would prove this powerless. From the beginning of time, the human mind has worshiped and feared the mammon of this, world money. Paul . designates the! love of money as "the root of all evil;" and the Master warned that one could not serve God and mam mon at the same time. Now comes the beloved Leader of the Chris tian Science movement with a statement fraught with tremend ous good for mankind. In one brief paragraph, like the shepherd David with his sling, she deals the ; mammon-Goliath a death-blow, j Instead of agreeing with the argu-! ment, centuries old, that man's! primal and greatest need Is fori money, she shows that his real i need, first and last, is for right, saving ideas. In "Miscellaneous; Writings" in an article entitled! "Angels" (p. 307): she writes: j "God gives you His spiritual Ideas.) and in turn, they give you daily! supplies. Never ask for to-morrow; it Is enough that divine Love j is an ever-present help; and If you i wait, never doubting, you will have all you need every moment." And how practically does this work out in human experience! Here let us say, ts an individual crying out that he needs money. Very possi bly he does. But what Is his pri mal need? It may be that his rightful activity and supply are being kept from sight and oxperl- ence because he is not absolutely at thla aeemlngly troublous mo honest honest with himself and i menl jB m0re right thinkers, more others. It Is surprising what "lit- j gpiritually-minded thinkers of Jo tie foxes" of dishonest practice. t 8PpnB school .who by precept and lack of genuineness, so-called ' example win ead distracted mor "white lies," and the like can be j to 80me measure of sanity and uncovered in consciousness when , DU8inens according to Principle, the searchlight of Truth Is turned i Fear, hate, selfishness, and the inward.

How weal thy can we all feel right now, knowing that there Is ever avail able a great bank account of right, saving Ideas!

A BUSINESS MAN 1700 B. C. An evidence of divine wisdom 'being vouchsafed a splritually- k nocking at his door, found him standing unshaken on the rock of purity and Principle; and again the exirnal mind, envious and re sentful, seemed to triumph, for Joseph was cast into prison. KEY TO JOSEPH'S BUSINESS SUCCESS Now the extraordinary thing to be noted throughout the career of this extraordinary business man fs the complete absence of resent ment in his thinking. Joseph must have learned early that to be suc cessful one needs to banish speed ily the poisonous, demoralizing arguments of resentment, revenge, self-pity, and the like. Apparent ly not a trace of these was allowed to linger in his consciousness when he found himself unjustly incar cerated. What did he do? True to his business ethics he proceeded to be the very best prisoner In the prison, and, with his rare spiritual intuition, helped all with whom he came in contact. It would be im possible for such a thought to re main long In prison; in fact, the expression of Love and good can not fail to liberate. The king of Egypt heard of Joseph's great wis dom and intuitive sense and sent for him to help solve tho riddle of a vexing dream. Having learned long since that he war in partner ship with divine Mind, and that God had given him wisdom and strength, Joseph did not allow Pharaoh s flattering salutation to pass unchallenged. "It Is not in me," he said. "God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace." And as a result of his remarkable In terpretation of the klng'B dream Joseph found himself Installed as the first food administrator in re corded history and as one of the greatest business figures of all time. JOSEPH'S GREATEST BUSINESS TRIUMPH But his greatest triumph and achievement were yet to come. As the result of a famine In their own land, Joseph's brethren came to Egypt to buy corn. They had not heard of the fame of their brother and did not even know him when he arranged an Interview with them. Here was the opportunity of a lifetime to even old scores; here was the chance for a right otis revenge, here the moment for a personal triumph and tho right ful humiliation of his evil broth ers. But what did this successful business man. this man everlast ingly busy reflecting good and love and Principle, do? In all litera ture Is there anything more beau tiful than this? We read: "And Joseph said unfo his brethren. Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said,! am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with your selves, that ye sold me hither: for God did Bend me before you to preserve life." Here, let It be re marked, is the record of one of tho greatest business successes of all time the business of subdu ing the carnal mind through a re flection of Love and Principle. It humiliated and punished Joseph's erring brothers far more effective ly than an exhibition of Lucifer's self-will and self-glorification ever could have done, and ended in the best business of all the brothers' healing and Joseph's further en trenchment in all-conquerorlng Principle. That he was ever after eminently prosperous materially goes without saying. NEED OF BUSINESS WORLD TODAY What our business world needs time when an army of Josephs, made possible by Christian Sci ence, shall systematically give time and attention daily to the knowing of the truth which will heal and redeem mankind! Every time the Christian Scientist breathes forth that beautiful petl Uon of the "Daily Prayer," "And may Tn- Word ,.nrjeh the affec t(on8 of afv mankind, and govern them!" be truly is blewing hu manity and nullifying some of Its fear and hate.

One day ihe Scientist said to him: "1 have something to. say to you which you may not like, but it Is true nevir theless; and I want you to think about it. You are not really suf fering because of the accident hut because of your own attitude Of hate." Then she told him she wanted him to do something for her, and asked him If he would do it. Ke said he would do any thing for her; so she said, "I will not ask more of you than you can honestly do, and will begin where you can truthfully make a start." She then asked him, whenever he thought of the man whose care lessness had caused the injury to say, "Poor fellow, I know he did not mens to do it." So the boy was faithful to his promise. The next visit he told her he had done as she had asked; so she said, "Now we will go a step farther, and say, 'God loves that man as He loves me.' " This he did. Next he was able to say, "I love him because God loves him." When divine Love truly permeated his thinking and he was able to declare that he loved the man. the doctors found they were able to remove the drain tubes, and the crushed arm quickly healed. He was soon discharged from the hospital well. DISEASE INDUCED BY WRONG THINKING Here someone may ask. Does Christian Science maintain that hate or resentment or a bad dis position Is responsible for all ill ness? Ry no means. Mrs. Eddy writes (Science and Health, p. 411): "The procuring cause and foundation of all sickness Is fear, ignorance, or sin. Disease is al ways induced by a false sense men tally entertained, not destroyed. Disease is an Image of thought ex ternalized." But. recurs tho ques tion, take the caso of a child. Cer tainly the unformed child-thought has been entertaining no thought of fear. What causes the difficulty there? A universal belief, or fear, which mortals have mistakenly called law, A mother was once heard to remark. "I hope my child will have all the children's diseas es soon and get them over with!" That mother unwittingly was opening the door for the univers ally accepted belief and fear that a child must have this discordant condition or that at a certain age. whereas a vigorous stand with God, clinging to His glorious law and harmonious, painless un foldment, and knowing that dis ease or discord Is never a part of Love's plan for His " children, would have banished the so-called law founded in fear and Ignorance. Today, as tn Jesus time, the re flection of God's law says. "Peace, be still" to storms of every name and nature, and today, as of yore, there is a great calm. AWAKENING FROM DREAM SHADOWS Sometimes one hears a person under Christian Science treatment say: "I have been having help for a certain disorder and I have been working myself to the best of my ability and yet the condition has not been healed. Why is this? ' Is it not possible that one Is striving to heal or change a reality Instead of awakening to the glorious fact that God's creation needs no heal ing? Suppose you enter a room where a person is in the throes of a nightmare. The dreamer calls out: "I am being pursued by a wild animal! Won't somebody help me?" Would you rush to his side and begin searching for the ani mal? No. Would you say to the dreamer: "Don't be afraid! I shall give the beast a treatment and make him depart!" No. Your whole effort would be to awaken the dreamer, would it not? Again and again you would assure him that all was well, bid him rouse himself, and thank God he had only had a bad dream. Mrs. Eddy writes In the textbook (p. 417); "To the Christian Science healer, sickness Is av dream from which the patient needs to be awakened. Disease should not appear real to the physician, since it Is demon strable that the way to cure the patient is to make disease unreal to him." DISEASE TOO BAD TO BE TRUE? Now If a thing Is unreal It Is untrue, nonexistent, not happen ing or taking place. "But," may interpose someone, forcibly, "can a perpon In his right mind aver that this tumor which he sees or this rheumatism which he feels Is nonexistent or not taking place?" The answer Is, yes. if he truly Is In his right Mind, the divine Mind, he can do naught else but deny the pictures of the carnal mind and thank God that they are too bad to be true. A man seemingly quite crippled by rheumatism once asked a young student of Christian Sci ence to give him some metaphysi cal help. The student replied that he hardly felt advanced enough in his study to undertake the work, but finally said, "Let me give you this thought to ponder: If it Is true that you have rheumatism, then there Is no such thing as a good God.' " The other departed In mild dismay. If rheumatism s true, he said, there ts no good God. But there must be a good God. Then there Is no rheumatism. Hut I know I have rheumatism. Then ther Is no good God. Yet each time be would find himself S-niil In Meet In Canada ( ST.

Who are the elect, but those who elect to think rightly to reflect God, Love, Principle, and good? The right thinkers, those who elect and strive to be spiritually minded, to put off the old man, and put on the new, are therefore the hope of the race. U is their task to protect their countries from graft, greed, and selfish ma terial domination. The power of Truth can uncover and nullify the secret efforts of mental suggestion to befuddle and control thought. Are we exercising this power? Are we declaring daily that "the Lord God omnipotent reigneth" that Mind, infinite good and Principle, is governing men and nations? Are we thanking God for the les sening of the sense of great ma terial prosperity and the learning of the much needed lesson of look ing to the things of Spirit for true happiness and supply? Are we do ing our bit In overcoming the world's fear about lack and limi tation? If so, we are about our Father's business, and that busi ness ts eternal good. A GREAT MOMENT IN HISTORY The conquest over wrong think ing is going forward In human consciousness as the individual Is daily meeting and dealing with the arguments of the material senses; as he Is learning to separate the gold from the dross, the genuine from the counterfeit, the God-given from suggestions and pictures of the carnal mind. When he re fuses to give power or reality to fear, or pain, or discord, or appe tite, because they belong not to God's good creation, and when he strives to bear witness to the pres ence and operation of being that Is harmonious, joyous, and free, that which Is called healing takes place. Probably never In recorded history was there a more wonder ful moment In which to be living. If perchance you sigh for the still stagnant waters of a generation ago when there had been no after math of a world war nor the tre mendous problems resulting there from; when there was reasonable material prosperity and nothing to Interrupt the serenity of the aver age fireside or nation, contrast the privilege of living and working In these stirring times with the somnolent sense of yesteryears! Ours Is the privilege of enlistment In a great army that ever in creasing host of right thinkers , who are destined to carry the bat tle to the very gates of hell itself, Individual problems will be solved the more surely and speedily as we remove the eye-bllndors and dark glasses which have kept our gaze riveted on our own personal discords. Can one think only of himself when all mankind is cry ing out for deliverance and heal ing? Let us not forgot that the Bible states that Job's problems were solved when ho began to pray for his friends. Says a familiar hymn (Hymnal, No. 360): "Is thy burden hard and heavy? Do thy steps drag wearily? Help to bear thy brother's burden, God will hear both it and thee." "THE LIGHTS ARE ALL GREEN!" A Christian Scientist once felt the need of calling her husband on the long distance telephone for a word of comforting and strength ening at a moment when the way seemed difficult.
