The rapid growth of Christian Science
during the last half century is dm to
its practicability as a religion and
that fact that everything claimed l»y
it can be proven. It is essentially a re
ligion of happiness, jo\ and brotherly
love and l introduce to you, with
pleasure, one who is well qualified to
speak on the subject. Mr. \Nni. M.
Porter. C. S. !».. of New York City,
who is a membei of the Hoard of Lec
tureship of the Mother Church, the
First Church of Christ. Scientist, in
Boston, Mass."
Mr. Porter then delivered a most
interesting and logical lecture, ill part
as follows:
N\Tl H\L hKYKLOPMKNT
Tin* demonstration of Christian
Science in the healing of the sick and
the reconstruction of human thought
on lines of light activity is today an
accomplished and acknowledged tact
It is evident, in this connection, that if
the < xisting systems of religion and
medicine had been adequate to meet
the needs and to satisfy the desires of
mankind, no other system would ever
have been necessary or even possible.
ORTHODOXY
The objection is sometimes made
that Christian Science is not orthodox.
This brings up the question of what is
and what is not orthodox. Human op
inions combine in a statement of be
lief. and then declare that those who
differ from beliefs thus stated are un
orthodox. The amount of this is: If
you believe as wc do. you are ortho
dox. If you do not believe as we do,
then you are decide v unorthodox, ami
— “do not believe in the divinity of
Christ.”
That alone is oithodox which, pro
feeding from Principe. Truth or God.
brings out the f*uits of health and
righteousness. This is the work ( hris
tiun Science is accomplishing.
the world war
The activities of Christian Scient
ists <tutn£ the world war recently
closed are well known. Christian
Scientists have been a unit in their
support of the policies of our govern
ment and its allies. As the atmosphere
of peace and justice settles over the
nations of the world Christian Scient
ists recognize that the victory has not
been so much a victory of men over
men. or nations over nations, hut is a
victory of Principle and Truth over
