SCIENCE
ft
Charles l. Ohvenstein C. S. B.,
member of l’he Hoard ot Lectureship
of The Mother Church, The First
Church of Chnsft, iM*ienfi»-t, in Boston.
Massachusetts, delivered a lecture on
Christian Science last night at th *
Liberty theatre. At ter a short intn -
duction by Mr. W. Kngborg, Mr. Ohr
enstein said in part:
If God is the all-enabling power,
and God is Mind, the operation of this
power must primarily he by way o*
ideas, thoughts. Who can straighten
out his finger or bend it without
thought dictating the action? Who ca \
h« ml it when thought dictates to hold
it straight? Try it. Will the hand not
do kind things under the impulsion of
loving thoughts: will it not do cruet
things under the impulsion of contrarv
beliefs? Wdl it not do brave, power
ful. steady, skilful, efficient things
under the direction of confident. in
telligent guidance, ami trembling,
weak, inefficient things under the
impulsion «*f fear. All have ex
perienced this. Is it not a com
mon saving that one is para
lyzed with fear? Po not people
die of fear? Does any part of the body
not reached by thought do anything
or feel any way? If it does , how d»
you know it without thought?
The schools are beginning to recog
nize. and in some degree to acknowl
edge. that in Christfan Science a ligb:
has come into the world. but th«*v
are not able to see that it is aM light,
and that in it is no darkness at alL
Theology is beginning to teach an in
corporeal God. but one who is t u
Spirit that is all Love, too pure to
behold iniquity, evil of any kind. to
cause it or to permit it. The healing
arts are beginning to teach that mind
is at least in part cause, but without
recognizing that Mind is God. good,
so never the cause of disease and
death, but always the cause of restora
tion. of health, and of life. They call
that mind which is but false educa
tion, illusion, suggestion, the ultima*”
cause of $in. sickness, death. Hut th >
human beliefs that still obscure can
not forever hule the true ligb* yyhicli
shines, and shines unto a perfect day
when all shall he illumined by it,
and there shall be no darkness, ignor
ance. illusive suggestion. disease,
fear, and so no sin. no disease . no
death.
God's Thought *
Everyone is most particular as to
the air he breathes. No one without
absolute necessity woiihl for a mo
ment breathe foul air. Everyone i*
most particular as to the food he oats,
what raiment he puts on. and so forth,
How much more particular should all
be as to what they are inspired by; foi
w) ‘the; the thought that comes to ms
lx* good or had, it is one tlm* com* s
to us. not one that originates with us
and sooner or later we are hound
to express it. Is it pure. beautiful,
good. tr»i*\ the thought o» health, o!
life, of immortality, of courage, and
of love for all? If so, it comes from
the one true source. Bid it welcome;
let it abide with you. entertain it.
make it your honored and yom
welcome guest. It comes from Go:
anil is the word of God, an angc
visitant. sent as of old to heal, to min
ister. to save. Is that which clamors
far admission a base, sinister, degrad
ed thought, a thought of want, dis
couragemcnt* hate. fear. anger, s ck-,
ness, deafh ? Then bar it out. for it
will express itselt, bear fruit after it*
kind. How bar it. say you? By r*
calling of God and of His ( hrisf. the
♦ ruths taught in the Bible by Jesus
emphasized, illumined, and made prac
tical h\ Christiah Science, until thes<
shall lx* an angel legion round ahum
you to guule you, guard you, and hav**
charge over you.
How ofti n do we hear the question
Howcan 1 help what I think? and
the assertion. No one* can help what
he thinks. We not only can heln
what we think, but in order to do
better, feel better, be better, we must
help what \\e think/for as a man
“thinketh in his heart, so is lu*;” and
tin* way that has been indicated. th»
way that Christian Science teaches, i*
the only way in which this help can
come; the only way under heaven in
which men can lx* saved here, now
anywhere, everywhere, from ills of
any and of every kind.
What has b«*on said will but dimly
indicate the teachings of the ideal, yet
most practical and scientific system
of ethics and healings discovered ir
the words and works of our Master by
Mis. Eddy. Through her faithful, lov
ing Christlike leadership Mrs. Eddy,
founded this system Christian Sci
once, and advanced it to its present
world-wide acceptance, fringing what
she did to the world,— the 4‘pcarl
of great price” the applicable, de
monstrable Christianity of ( hrist
Jesus, which has proved itself suck
hv comforting, reforming and heal
mg the vast majority of those \vh
have honestly, earnestly studied hoi
hooks,— she has enriched the work
beyond all reckoning. Hundreds o:
thousands of her beneficiaries rejou
rn hearing grateful witness to thei
appreciation of her divine service tt
them and to all mankind.
