LECTURE IS HEARD
IN HOLLY THEATER
A lecture on Christian Science
was delivered last evening in
the Holly theatre by Frank
Bell. C.S.B., of New York City,
member of the Board of Lec
tureship of The Mother Church,
The First Church of Christ,
Scientist, in Boston, Mass.
The lecture follows in part:
Life Spiritual, Not Material
The common belief about a
man's life is that he lives with
in a physical body, that his
identity is located inside a ma
terial structure of flesh and
bones. How life got into the
body, what keeps it there, how
it is to get out, and where it
is to go when it gets out, are
subjects of much speculation
and little assurance.
All human ills are associated
with the sense of life in the
flesh. Therein man is supposed
to live a precarious life and to
die an inevitable death; therein
are his aches and pains, his
fears and disappointments, his
sinful habits, devastating appe
tites, illusive pleasures. The
sorrows and sufferings from
which mortals pray to be de
livered all have to do directly
or indirectly with the so-called
corporeal, fleshly selfhood, in
cluding that which is called the
mind within the body. Christian
Science, concerned with the
overcoming of human ills, that
the inherent Tightness of Goas
creation may appear, invites
men to consider the reasonable
ness of the proposition that
since discord is found only
within the realm of physical
sense, the way out of trouble
lies through the taking on 01 a
better sense. It is possible to
do this in a perfectly natural
way.
To hold to the belief that
man lives inside of a material
body one must well-nigh ignore
the fact that actual life has not
been found in the body. Each
of the activities within the Kdy
can be truthfully described only
as an effect of something else.
If that something else were in
side of the body it scarcely
could have escaped detection
by this time.
The situation is illumined by
such statements as this from the
Christian Science textbook,
"Science and Health with Key
to the Scriptures" by Mary
Baker Eddy, page 208: "You
embrace your body in your
thought, and you should delin
eate upon it thoughts of health,
not of sickness." A moment's
consideration makes it plain
that we do embrace our mater
ial body in our thoughts. There
fore both we and our thoughts
must be in fact outside of that
body. One could not well be
inside of that which he em
braces. We contemplate our so
called physical selves from
without, not from within.
If man does not really live
in the flesh, then clearly 'e
ought not to go on believing
that he does. Inspired thought
beckons us out of materiality.
In Genesis we are assured that
true man is the image and like
ness of infinite Spirit. A psalm
reminds us. that we shall be
satisfied when we awake in
God's likeness, the likeness of
Spirit. Isaiah urges, "Cease ye
from man, whose breath is in
his nostrils: for wherein is he
to be accounted of?" Jesus,
commanding his followers to
take no thought for the body.

declares that real life, life eter
nal, is a state of mind, to know
God aright. St. Paul, seeing
that ''they that are in the flesh
cannot please God," advises
Christians to cultivate a wil

through mental purification.
Christian Science teaches and
proves that to lift one's sense
of identity and reality up out
ol the flesh Into infinite Spirit
promotes health and harmony.
Thus Christian Science restores
that which . was lost, Christian
healing.
Life was no mystery to Jesus.
"It is the spirit that quickeneth;
the flesh profiteth nothing,"
said he. The sick are healed and
sinners are reformed through
learning to look outside of the
flesh for that true spiritual an
imation which alone is capable
of maintaining the universe and
all that is therein. s
To the Master evidently It
was clear that health is pri
marily a state of thought and
only secondarily or incidentally
a condition of body or matter.
To him the sick were those
"whom Satan hath bound," the
Satan whom he described as
"liar, and the father of it," a
self-constituted lie or false
sense, having "no truth" in It.
Both the casting out of devils,
sick, deluded beliefs, and the
spiritual quickening of those
who came to be healed were ac
complished through the opera
tion of the Mind that was in
Christ Jesus, as St. Paul de
scribes it. Those who were heal
ed were those whose hearts
were open to the regenerative
influence of that mind or sense
which perceived and reflected
the absolute truth concerning
God's creation.

B. Hershey said today.
The director of selective serv
ice said at a press conference
it was the "number 1 project
at this time" and added that of
the 40.000.000 men in the na
tion, about 25 per cent could
eventually be made availaole to
the army and navy. He outlined
the panorama his organization
is viewing to mobilize the whole
nation in its war against the
axis powers.
Not All To March
"I don't visualize five or six
million men marching off to
war." Gen. Hershey said. "But
we must try to be ready through
a measured approach to the
problem.
"There is something to be
gained by registering and classi
fying a broad group of people.
"I believe there should be
flexible authority (from con
gress) to be used piecemeal,
presenting the people with a
broad liability for registration
and a narrower liability for
service.
