A LECTURE ON
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
(Continued from page three)
purity and Principle; and again
the carnal mind, envious and re
sentful, seemed to triumph, for Jo
seph 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 is
the complete absence of resentment
in his thinking. Joseph must have
learned early that to be successful
one needs to banish speedily the
poisonous, demoralizing arguments
of resentment, revenge, self-pity,
and the like. Apparently not a
trace of these was allowed to lin
ger in his consciousness when he
found himself unjustly incarcerat
ed. What will 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 the riddle
of a vexing dream. Haying learn
ed long since that he was in part
nership 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 king's 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 BUSI
NESS 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 oppor
tunity of a lifetime to even old
scores; here was the chance for a
righteous revenge, here the mo
ment for a personal triumph and
the rightful humiliation of his evil
brothers. But what did this suc
cessful business man, this man
everlastingly busy reflecting good
and love and Principle, do? In all
literature is "there anything more
beautiful than this? We read:
"And Joseph said unto his breth
ren, Come near to me, I pray'you.
And they came near. And he said,
I am Joseph your brother, whom
ye sold into Egypt. Now therefore
be not grieved, nor angry with
yourselves, that ye sold me hither;
for God did send me before you
to preserve life." Here let it be
remarked, is the record of one of
the greatest business successes of
all time—the business of subduing
the carnal mind through a reflec
tion 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-conquering Prin
ciple. That he was ever after emi
nently prosperous materially goes
without saying.
NEED OF BUSINESS WORLD
TODAY
What our business world needs
at this seemingly troublous mo
ment is more right thinkers, more
spiritually-minded thinkers of Jo
seph's school, who by precept and
example will lead distracted mor
tals to some measure of sanity and
business according to Principle.
Fear, hate, selfishness, and the
love of the materia] have led men
and nations into the present-day
wilderness. One right thinking
Joseph saved Egypt centuries ago.
What speedy redemption should
therefore be manifested in our
time when an army of Josephs,
made possible by Christian Science,
shlal systematically give time and
attention daily to the knowing of
the truth which will heal and re
deem mankind! Every time the
Christian Scientist breathes forth
that beautiful petition of the
3 al 'y Prayer," "And may Thv
Word enrich the affections of all
mankind, and srovern them!" he
truly is blessing humanity and
nullifying some of its fear and
hate.
HATE NEVER SOLVED A
PROBLEM
Hate never solved a single prob
lem in the whole history of the
world. Therefore, standing upon
dangerous quicksands is that man
or party or governing body or na
tion whose actuating motive is hate
or selfishness. Let all those striv
ing for spiritual-mindedness rally
to the great task of saving the
human consciousness from Lucifer
- from the self-will, self-love and
hate which have hidden the father
hood of God and the brotherhood
or man. Let every righteous
movement in the world fee] the
protection and strengthening of
our right thinking. Disarmament
universal arbitration, the righteous
solution of international debts the
breaking down of intense selfish
nationalism,—all these forward
steps should have the prayer and
mental support of every Christian
Scientist.
THE POISON OF HATE
The mischief wrought by even a
grain of the poison of hate work
inpr in human consciousness, pos
sibly could not be more forcibly
set forth than in the following in
cident. During the late war, a
Christian Science worker was not
only permitted but was invited by
the doctors and nurses to visit a
man in the Naval Hospital in Lon
don, a man whose arm had been
crashed in an accident-At sea, andl
' who was so bitter and morose that
I he had not spoken to anyone for
; a month or more. Drain tubes
were in the arm, and the doctors
! were of the opinion that amputa
■ tion was inevitable. Through her
| Christian love and rare humanity
I the Scientist soon won his confi
i dence, and little by little he opened
! his heart and told her all about
I himself, how the accident had hap
j pened and how he hated the man
whose fault it was. One day the
Scientist said to him: "I have
something to say to you which you
may not like, but it is true never
theless; and I want you to think
about it. You are not really suf
fering because of the accident but
because of your own attitude of
hate." Then she told him shq
wanted him to do something for
her, and asked him if he would
do it. He 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 mean 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 dispo
sition is responsible for all illness ?
By 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 always induced by
a false sense mentally entertained,
not destroyed. Disease is an image
of thought externalized." But,
recurs the question, take the case
°f a child. Certainly the unformed
child-thought has been entertain
ing no thought of fear. What
causes the difficulty there? A
universal belief, or fear, which
mortals have mistakingly called
law. A mother was once heard to
bope my child will have
all the children's diseases soon and
get them over with!" That mother
unwittingly was opening the door
for the universally 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, pain
less unfoldment, and knowing that
disease or discord is never part of
L6ve's plan for His children, would
have banished the so-called law
founded in fear and ignorance. To-'
day, as in Jesus' time, the reflec
tion 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 striv
ing to heal or change a reality in
stead of awakening to the glorious
fact that God's creation needs no
healing? Suppose you enter a
room where a person is in the
throes of a nightmare. The dream
er 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
animal? 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, sick
ness is a dream from which the
ptaient needs to be a%vakened. Dis
ease should not appear real to the
physician, since it is demonstrable
that the way t 0 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 happening
or taking place. "But," may in
terpose someone, forcibly, "can a
person in his right mind aver that
this tumor which he sees or this
rheumatism which he feels is non
existent 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: 'lf it is
true* that you have rheumatism, 1
then there is no such thing as a I
good God.'" The other departed
in mild dismay. If rheumatism is
true, he said, there is no good God.
But there must be a good God.
lhen there is n 0 rheumatism. But
I know I have rheumatism. Then
there is no good God. Yet each
time he would find himself ending
the mental argument, "But I know
there is a good God; so there can
not be any rheumatism." Within
a short space of time he reported
to the Scientist that the waking
dream calling itself rheumatism
had completely vanished.
Let the man or woman or child
who has been laboriously treating .

disease, or striving to overcome
and banish a stubborn discordant
condition, begin thanking God that
the disease or pain is only part
and parcel of the Adam-dream, the
material sense of existence, and
that it is not happening in God's
beautiful kingdom; anj_that man,
God's man, is awake and whole and
free now, governed by the law of
harmonious, spiritual being. A
persistent rejoicing in this truth,
a courageous witness-bearing to
the facts of being, wherein God
has created a good creation, will
usher in a sense of peace and har
mony hitherto unknown.
BANISHING OF SINFUL
THINKING
And the_ happy fact about a
bodily healing in Christian Science
is that invariably some of the
healed discord's unlovely relations,
such as a nasty temper, or an
appetite for drugs, liquor, or to
bacco, or an inclination toward
certain erroneous thinking, invari
ably show signs of decamping—if
they do not immediately disappear
witn the other errors. A man hav
ing treatment in Christian Science
for a bodily inharmony noticed
that his after-dinner cigars had a
peculiar taste. He would examine
them, cut them in half, relight
them, and even change to a more
expensive brand, but still the curi
ous taste persisted. One day when
,he had again vainly tried to enjoy
the weed, the light began to dawn.
"I know what is happening," he
announced to his family. "That
practitioner is treating' me for
this. I will thank her td keep her
hands off!" He speedily arranges
an interview with his helper in
Science and asked her if she were
treating him for his desire for to
bacco. She replied that she was
not doing so; in fact, she did not
even know that he smoked. The
patient was quite crestfallen.
"Something is happening to me,"
he said sorrowfully, "for the to
bacco is becoming positively repel
lent to me." The practitioner
laughed happily. "Don't you see
what is taking place? The truth
about God and man is bringing you
not only freedom from pain but
freedom from bondage to material
appetite as well. This is the ine
vitable action of Truth." Sometime
later this same man and his son
were standing on the platform of
a street car and another passenger
blew some tobacco smoke in his di
rection. Attempting to fan the
fumes away, the father turned to
his son and indicated the complete
ness of his healing. "Disgusting
habit!'' he said.
THE BONDAGE OF SENSUA
LISM
Mrs. Eddy never wrote a great
truism more simply and yet more
powerfully than this (Science and
Health, p. 337): "Sensualism is not
bliss, but bondage." The carnal
mind bases its appeal wholly upon
the proposition that this indul
gence or that will bring satisfac
tion or real enjoyment or bliss.
Thus it appeared to ensnare Adam
and Eve in the famous garden of
Eden allegory, and thus it would
a] proach each individual conscious
ness. The warning of Truth, "In
the day that thou eatest thereof
thou shalt surely die,'.' is easily
silenced, for does not Lucifer whis
per suavely: "Don't you believe it!
You won't die! Why, through ex
perience of pleasurable sensations
of liquor or tobacco or material
sense you will just begin to live!"
For a season, perhaps, Lucifer may
seem to make good his prediction;
but at what cost? One has surely;
died to the finer, sweeter, more
lastingly joyous conceptions of
spiritual being, and that which
claims to be bliss is that which is
keeping one in bondage to the
body, a bondage which all too often
eventuates in weakness, sickness,
and unhappiness.
THE JOY OF MASTERY
The Apostle Paul paints a gra
phic picture of true happiness and
man's dominion over the material
in these words: "Know ye not they
which run in a race run all, but
one receiveth the prize? So run,
that ye may obtain. And every
man that striveth for the mastery
is temperate in all things. Now
they do it to obtain a corruptible
crown; but we an incorruptible. I
therefore so run, not as uncertain
ly-" And he adds significantly,
But I keep under my body, and
bring it into subjection."
COURAGE TO RESIST EVIL
But here someone may say, What
of the man or woman who seems
not to have the courage to resist
evil and claim his dominion? When
one, prodigal son, having
suffered and starved amid the
husks of sensualism truly resolves
to go to his Father; when he even
faintly begins to yearn for good
and spiritual sense and peace, a
beautiful thing happens. In the
story of the prodigal in the Bible
it will be remembered that when
the young man turned his feet
homeward, yes, "when he was yet
a great way off, his father saw
him, and had compassion, and ran,
and fell on his neck, and kissed
him." Mrs. Eddy tells us, on the
second page of the textbook, that
"the desire which goes forth hun
gering after righteousness is bless
ed of our Father, and it does not
return unto us void." So, when
having suffered sufficiently to
turn one from the bonffage of sin
and appetite, one begins to yearn
for light and release and lasting
satisfaction, there is divine Love,
divine strength, divine law, await
ing him. There is the Father say
t,he words of the Psalmist,
I will declare the decree. . . Thou
art my Son; this day have I be
fotten thee!" In other words this
ay'shall we have strength ' and
moral courage to say "No!" to Lu
cjfer and his deceiving arguments
this day may we touch the hem
of the garment of Christ, Truth,
and begin to taste man's God-given
wholeness and freedom. The
Father has seen us a great way
off, and a legion of angels, of sav
ing. strengthening ideas, has rush
ed to-mir sid*. We are not alone.
We are not weak. Man exists as
the reflection of omnipotent good.
HEALING OF INTEMPERANCE
A record of permanent healings
of every form of intemperance
that have« been accomplished
through Christian Science, shows
' this system to be the greatest
force for righteousness the world
has seen since the days of the
mighty regenerating Christianity
jof Jesus and his apostles. In fact,
the works of Christian Science
stamp it beyond peradventure as
the reappearing of Jesus' Christi
anity. While every Christian
Scientist hails as a step in the
right direction every law attempt
ing to stamp out the evils of liquor,
drugs, and vice, and lends such
law his whole-hearted obedience
and support, he is not asleep to the
fact that men and nations must
first and last look to God, Spirit
and to God alone, for true healing
and regeneration. Therefore, in
his daily prayer for mankind, he
strives to know that this present*
day worldliness and love of the
material cannot continue to deceive
and betray mortals; for it belongs
not to Truth. It cannot shut out
man's birthright or real end en
during happiness, for it is only
the transient mesmreism of Luci
fer, a lie. If this Truth can heal
an individual, can it not eventually
heal a nation? And if a nation,
then a world?
RIGHT THINKERS ARE THE
ELECT *
A mighty work is before the
right thinkers of the day; in fact,
Jesus indicated this when, accord
ing to the Gospel of Matthew," in
describing the terrific overturning
which the truth would bring to the
carnal mind, he said, "And except
those days should be shortened,
there should no flesh be saved;
but for the elect's sake, those days
shall be shortened." 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.
It is their task to protect their
countries from graft, greed, and
selfish material 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 lessening of the sense
of great material prosperity and
the learning of the much needed
lesson of looking to the things of
Spirit for true happiness and sup
ply? Are we doing our bit in
overcoming the world's fear about
lack and limitation ? If so, we are
about our" Father's business, and
that business is 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 pic
tures of the carnal mind. When
he refuses to give power or reality
to fear, or pain, or discord, or ap
petite, because they belong not to
Oods good creation, and when he
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-r-that ever increas
ing host of right thinkers who are
destined to carry the battle to the
verv gates of hell itself. Individual
problems will be solved the more
surely and_ speedily as we remove
the eye?blinders and dark glasses
which have kept our gaze riveted
on our own personal discords. Can
one think only of himself when all
mankind is crying out for deliver
ance and healing ? Let u s not for
get that the Bible states that Job's
problems were solved when he be
gan 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 bear 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. She said that the
cloud lifted speedily when she
heard him say, firmly and cheerily,
"Why, dear, you know that you
are on the King's highway and the
lights are all green!" When, there
fore,oor progress seems to be
halted by error's stop-signals, when
discouragement or fear or condem
nation would argue that we may
have chosen the wrong road, if we
lift our thought to the healing
Christ, Truth, we may hear this
heartening, comforting message:
You are one the King's highway
and the lights are-all green! Go
forward!
