Prominent Christian Scientist
Heard by Large Audience in
Handsome New Edifice.
A large audience greeted Virgil O.
Strlckler of Boston at the handsome
new Christian Science church on
French Hroad avenue last night, when
he delivered a very interesting lec
ture. The speaker was eloquent and
earnest, and that his hearers were
clearly impressed with his ,; remarks
wu.s evident in the close attention
which was given his every utterance.
He was introduced by George S. Pow
ell, who made a short and appropriate
talk. The church has just been com
plied, and the lecture last night was
in the nature of a formal opening.
In introducing Mr. Strickler to the
congregation Air. Powell said in part:
"The universal belief of man for
ages could not make the earth Hat,
neither can it make life in matter,
for life Is spiritual. "Jesus aid, it is
the spirit that qulckeneth; the llesh
prollteth nothing. The words that I
speak unto you, they are spirit and
they are lite.'
"If you wished an explanation of
the science of mathematics you would
not go to one who does not believe In
mathematics and had never worked
out a problem by Its rules, so you
thow by your presence here this
evening that you desire to hear
Christian Science explained by one
who has studied It; believes in it, and
lias proved It to be true just as many
of us have proved the science of
mathematics to be true, without
claiming to be able to work out all
of Its problems. Mrs. Eddy, in the
Christian Science text book says:
We admit the whole because a part
"My goodness, you don't mean to tell me that little can costs Fifty Cents?"
"Makes about 100 cups! Well, that's different.'
"Let's see, that's about half n cent a cup."
"And you say it's in powder, and a little over half a teaspoonftil stirred in a cup of hot
water mnkes Postum instantly, and with a perfect flavour!"
"Well, that surely would be n comfort." ,, ....
"Oil yes, some member in most ev&ry small family have stomach or nervous trouble with
coffee, and it's fine to have a snappy beverage like Poslum that don't break down the
nerves." ...
"I'm glad you brought to my attention this

for Residential Lots in Jackso n Park Addition, Merrimon Avenue Woolsey Improvement Company's holdings, Merrimon
is proved, and that part illustrates
and proves the entire problem.' There
are many good people who hold er
roneous ideas about Christian Science,
and without intending to be unfair,
they sometimes make public state
ments based on these erroneous ideas,
it Is to correct such statements, and
to meet a public demand for authentic
information that Mrs. Eddy, through
the First Church of Christ, Scientist,
in Bos-ton, Mass., established a board
of lectureship, and we are now to
have the pleasure of listening to a
member of this board."
Mr. Strickler then appeared and
spoke in part as follows:
"However much people may dlffei
in their attitude towards Christian
Science every one will admit that it
has done many good things. Entire
ly apart from the question of physi
cal healing. It is generally conceded
that it produces a happy and con
tented mentality, that it destroys fear,
and makes people loving and kind.
"When we add to this fact that it
has healed many sick people who had
previously been unable to find relief
under other systems, that It has cured
many of the drug habit, and of the
liquor habit, has restored harmony in
many homes that were discordant, and
has given hope and courage to people
who were discouraged, it is easy to
understand why Christian Science has
spread from one end of the earth to
the other with such wonderful ra
pidity. "Why should any one, not wish to
believe that Hod heals the sick? Is It
not a thing to be desired? and is it
not something for which humanity
has been praying through the cen
turies? Now that it Is here why
should any one not wish to accept it?
Let each one ask himself that ques
tion. "Many people believe that Ood
either sends sickness or at least per
mits some other (lower to send it, so
that in some way it is an agency for
good to work out our spiritual growth.
Now if that is true why did Jesus
come to make war on it? If lod
created sickness and either sends II
or permits It to be sent for any pur
pose, and Jesus destroyed It and
mmi mm
' ,...-..- ... -T. 1 ' ; . - ' -.
Thanks"
taught his followers to destroy It, was
he not working against God? And If
sickness is a good thing why did Jesus
wish to destroy it?
"Christian Science sviows that sick
ness and sin originate in mortal mind,
and result from the operation of this
so-called mind. God did not create
them, nor do they result from the op
eration of spiritual law. In destroy
lug them Jesus did not work contrary
to (rod's laws. Christian Science in
sists that Jesus was consistent. He
did not do the will of the Father at
one time, and at another seek to over
tern His laws. It follows, then, that
if Jesus performed his works in ac
cordance with, and by means of, God's
laws, the same results must follow in
every age whenever those laws are
understood and applied. Moses and
the prophets, and Jesus and His dis
ciples and followers, healed the sick,
raised the dead, and performed many
wonderful works by means of this
power; and in every age the result of
the operation of spiritual law in hu
man consciousness has been to destroy
discord and to establish peace.
"Christian Science pleads for a ra
tional understanding or God in place
of mere belief about Him, and 'It is
urging mankind to look for the real
causation In mind and not in matter,
it declares that God is not the author
of sin, sickness, or death, hence these
conditions are illegitimate and can be
destroyed by a knowledge of the truth.
It denies that there is any divine au
thority for man to sin, suffer or die.
and recalls the solemn declaration of
the Scripture that God gave man as
his birthright dominion over all thi
earth and over all that It contained.
"As time goes on humanity exhibits
an over decreasing Interest In theories
about' God that are not helpful and
practical. This tende-"y has been de
plored by the churches as indicating
u loss of Interest in religion, but It If
not so. It indicates n tremendous de
sire for a religion that Is practical.
This li an Age of Practical Thing.
"The demand for practical thingp
also demands a religion that Is practi
cal. People are no longer satisfied
with theories about what is to happen
in another world. Whnt Is desired is
a demonstrable, religion that saves
from present troubles from sickness,
and sin, and failure, and unhuppiness,
and the countless ills of everyday hu
man experience and if there is a re
ligion that will do that, it can be safe
ly trusted for the future.
Christian Science is essentially a
practical religion. It has been called
applied Christianity. There is the
same difference between Christian
Science and other systems that there
is between mathematics and engineer
ing. Mathematics does much good in
many ways, but It is not until the
rules f mathematics are applied to
human affairs that we see brought
out great bridges, railroads, Bubways,
lofty buildings, and other things that
are of public utility, and which con
tribute to the well being of mankind.
So It Is only when the teachings of
Jesus are understood and applied to
human affairs that we see the sick
healed, sinners liberated from bond
age to evil habits, and other practi
cal things done for the betterment of
humanity.
When viewed from any paint Mrs.
Eddy stands as one of the great char
acters of this age. She has made a
discovery In the realm of metaphysics
that exerts and must continue to ex
ert a more far-reaching influence upon
humanity than any discovery ever
made in the physical realm. She has
founded a religion that has restored
to mankind the spiritual healing as
practised by the primitive church.
Within the brief space of one genera
tion her teachings have so impressed
themselves upon the public that, it
would be difficult to find a place
where there is not a Christian Science
church or society, or at least where
there are not ' some Christian Scient
ists. "Sooner or later every person will
adopt that system of religious teach
ing which brings the largest measure
of help and hope and consolation, and
m long as any remain who are suffer
ing from unhappiness or stckness or
sin. Christian Science will ofTer to
them a sure means of finding divine
help."
