Heferrlng thereto in her booJT entitled Retrospection -and, IntrospecUon.l. she j declares "During twenty; years prior j -fo my discovery I had been trying to f trace all physical defects to mental ' cause, and In the latter" part of lCb 'v I gained the Scientific certainty jthat , all causation was Mind. 'arid every ef- feet a mental phenomenon." It should v be 'noted that In this statement 'Mrs. 'v Kddy capitalizes the word Mind, ithus V making it synonimous with the iv-ord Ateity and thus designating the divine .Mind as the only cause or creator. It follows, in her philosophy, thatj the vtiniverse Is in. reality spiritual, though sit does not so appear to our present immature apprehension.; : Christian V- Science thus bases its entire; modus operandi upon the proposition Hhat Clod is the only real Mind. In Christian h Science it' is maintained that 'though : the realization of the supremacy of . the divine Mind pealing is- effected even as light dispels darkness,' oil the 'basis that light is real while darkness ' t is unreal and therefore cannot remain In - its presende. Thus tt is that In ; Christian Scierice tieallng there is no ; retence of human force, tt rather a yielding of the human will to the di vine.'

It Is said that! when this edifice .was planned some,4f the members were disturbed on account of. Its size. They thought, that the pro vision of so large an auditorium was entirely- uncalled for.;the attendance at that time being only about 650. ' Mrs. Eddy organized the first church of Christian scientist in Boston In 1879 with 2 members. So slow was the growth of the movement at first, that in 1889. ten. years later, ! there wfcre only eleven churches. From th,at time.' however, the growth was -more rapid. In 1899 there 30 1 churches. .At the present time. 1908. there are 657 churches and 275 societies; riot'y organized as. churches, making 932 Societies holding church services In 1889 there were only 4 50 members in 'parts of the United States and Canada, the entire connection. In 1894 the to- from GeatPri tain, Australia, Sweden, tal, membership was 2.536. Five years Denmark, France,, Germany. Switzer later It : had reached 18.131. j These iand. Hi waiiani Islands, South America figures show that the principal growth and other; foreign countries. It Is said lias taken place during the past eerenAthev. will tiot .come slnfbfy to see the years. The membership at the present time is about 72,000, but thaij there are multitudes Interested In the move ment -outside &f the "actual church membership Is 'evidenced by the - large attendance at I the Christian Science service and the fact that nearly 400,-i-000 copies of ; the Christian Science text- book are at present in clrcula- tt has been said that the Christian Science denomination 1 Ijf made up largely of reef ults resetted from the grave, a -very large per1 centage of Christian Scientists having become in terested' on t account of the healing benefits whicliithey have received. In fact. Christian Science has drawn its adherents from all! classes, the .cler gy and medical fraternity included. Scarcely a village jor town can be found which has not a band of Chris tian Scientists, and hardly an Individ ual who has not tome friend or rela tive that has been a! beneficiary of it. So numerous have Christian Scien tists become Within the last few years that criticism of 1 1 teachings can n longer be indulged in without awaken ing prompt protest. The street-ear and, the railway coach may contain an ardent believer, and the dissenter frequently meets a prompt but kind ly challenge when he makes state ments derogatory to the cause or Its Leader. Two young ladies on the front teat of an open street car having Jurt: passed the Christian Science church In Boston, quite naturally be gan to speak on the subject of Chris tian Science, and Jt was noticed that a gentleman on the same seat began to move about uneasily as the conver sation waa more or less uncomplimentary- 'At J length he leaned over and said to the young ladies: "I trust you will pardon the interruption of a stranger, but f I cannot refrain from telling you that more t'han fifteen years ago. after having lost all hope of recovery, 1 was healed of consump tion through Christian Science, and this to me f tne strongest argument in Its favor." The fair critics looked u-p in surprise, at the strong, athletic man and speedily .expressed a more con siderate attitude of thought. Not long since two gentlemen enter ed a railway coach.
