' ' - v V ERA OF CHRISTIAN FAITH ' Then came the rear ofthe revelation of Christianity. The demonstrations ofthi Master and his apostles rgv aled man government by "God, whereby he is gov erned for his blessing, and the glory of God ' is achieved by.1 the salvations man, . This becamev'the era of ..the worlds- faith.' . The apostles saw the promises of , the' prophets fulfilled; but as the "years went .. by men began put away from, them the fulfilment of the . promises into the future life. was the Christian Jera-rbut , the era of Christianity doctrinal. -1 Every man became -.busy saying to his brother MKnAW th.- Lord..1'--- Pon.innpntlv v 'r-. t . .t. ------jr: ... there grew lip scores. to sects with. dif ferent; theories as to the way of sal vation. TRANSITIONAL -QUESTIONINGS Then' appeared signs- of a transition The churches began to make less of dogma, and more of life. - They " aded Christian service to man to their for mal services in nonor oi ooa. .unris- tianity appeares out side of the church es in general- awaking regarding v to man's' duty to man. Questions arose as to the power of evil, so long sub mitted to in this life, in the hope of a blessed immortality after death.-; Men were stirred like Gideon when his land was' impoverished by the Midianites and he said it the Lord, be tor us, !. A '.fit why then has, all , this befallen us? and' where be all his piracies which our fathers told " ou of?!' ' So. amid the oppression iof incurable 'diseases and evils apparantly irressable, many cried out, "If there btf a God, why. is His11 might, not proven?" - , The answered had lone been made that'diseaes (and & and i death ; or iginate with God, and that evil is of his sending or permission, i Now. men began to question their guides and ask. .'How shill the physician's ... prescrip- tfon avail to cure the disease, or how shall .- the , priest's - intercession make void the wrong, if God creates the agony and sends the evil? Can a drug thwart omnipotence? ,' Can. a man save from the- ills of God's, sending? .. . f$ ERA OF DEMONSTRATION '.The answer to the problems and ques tions is found in Christian Science. During the forty years of Mrs.-Eddu's ministry, to mankind the world entered into the era of demonstration. ! Men know now that : they can inherit the promises of the prophtts, and maintain the revelation "ofsonship that came. by Christ, JcsirS and prove, as- did the prophets and the apostlesj !'the good ness, of the Lord in the land ofthe liv ing." , - i. ' ' . . i The time was ;ripe for: the discovery of i Christian . Science which'1 reveils God, 'not - as the personal ruler "select ing courtier for ; personal ?.: advan tage or Banishing or destroying enemies but as . "saving Principle, . or univsr- sal-Jlove,', reaching all mankind , with its warmth .and goodness : as the sun blesses s even -i.tho ...unthankful. i-tThe Christian impulse in the hearts of men was awaiting guidance. Men had desire that their Christian work should become sure of results, not haphazard In fact, the world was longing for de' vine Love to tie proven to it again as when : the revelation'; first appeared. PROOF, TIlAT CAME So the proof came; through a woman But. t according to eternal ,laWi ;. The Discoverer and Founder of Christam Science 'first found her 'proof within her own life. She found the nexus be tween her experience' and those record ed.in the Scriptures;. , and- thus" to her consciousness"! was revealed "the ; law of God,: thejlaw, of good, ("interpreting and demonstrating ; the devme i Prin ciple and rule of universal harmony 'V (Rudimental v Divine Science,. , p. .' 1). ' This was . Christian Science. , She verified her .discovery by proving- to others- this- law. of . good. She taught pupils how to. bless their fellowmen by proving the law. As th - years went by a great church appeared like vine with branches in every land. For the guidance of its members 'she ordained the Bible, with her labori ously :, prepared text-book, . "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures", to be the pastor "on this' planet" of all the churches (Miscellaneous Wnt- mrs, p. 383). .To carry to the whole worll the gospel, the good news xl Co l's ft'tcndt.liip to man, slie initialed e Klerature of testimony the series a periodt'.-als which record and i. the r. u'(s of Chri:.;ian Science, i p yrr i-ze the era of Clui..lianity x-liv" '. i ei-ow us the he; e of P;", ROYAL' C Savbs -;.". and .Saves Money and Makes Better Food with love which ia the greatest of all, RELIABLE PRINCIPLE Christian Science interprets the rule of Spirit. It shows to man his fixed and reliable Principle. Its teackings are like a compass to a-sailor drifting aimlessly in a -fog. From it he regains his sense of direction. When Chris tian Science is accepted the human will ceases to resist and resent, and sub sides in obediance to the divihe Intel ligence. The friendship of Gad is proven by an inward and hardly ex plainable happiness. It- is what one writer calls "the peace of God which passe th all understanding," guarding the thoughts and comforting the heart. When men understand it they recog nize what they have been missing and desiring all their anxious hampered years. They are enabled to . "rec ognize true, existance, and feel the un speakable peace which comes from an all-absorbing spiritual love." (Science and Health,. 264:26). SOLVING OF PROBLEMS Truth is know.hy the result that ir solves problems. The enduring truth of God's friendship is the solution, for every human- woe, distress, entangle ment and error. t '- The sick find peace which is the remedy for their pain. To cite cases of .healing seems needless in view of theifact that the Journal for thirty years, and the Sentinel for fifteen, have regularly presented a record ?of. the healing of all manner -of diesase. To encourage the hope of readers Mrs. Eddy added both to Science land Health and to her Miscellaneous Writings, a chapter of testimony to the healing results - of the truth" made practical in Christain Science. ; -Ten thousand vioces give thanks to God for heading at our mid week gatherings. And yet I may be permitted to fell of one in my own fam ily who first tried out the skill of physi cians .at home, and then sought help abroad, finally returing from Paris with no- hope of any final recovery. There was help nigh at hand, however, for she found a helper in one with a clear knowledge of Christian Science who first took away the crutches upon which she had depended, saying,"You do not need them"; then supplied her with knowledge of Mind's supporting power,-so that to her came the freedom and happiness of the man healed at theitemple. gate by. Peter and John, who "entered with, them into the temp pic, walking and leaping, and praising God." -.-The IiW of praise to God has continued, and because of that one healing hundreds of lives have since been .likewise blessedo A: ' - The mourner ; with a cherished be reavement -who- thinks "no- sorrow ! like hers, and so has a grievance against the sender of the sorrow,. looses both grief and grievance on learning that the divine Friend is the origin .of life, not death, and 'sends to man healing and resurrection." t - v ' j The criminal- tormented with) dread while he seeks to find good as a decei ver ol others: a trickster, a-tniet or a murderer, can be -redeemed from the torment of hi&" own self-deception, and and find new life as a doer of good not harm to others, so soon as he recognizes God as - the friend .-of , man.' i , The libertine dwelling in agony, with is poverted - imagination, sunk down into bodily sensations like one in a loth- some pit, can be lifted out of ."the. miry clay' "and have hs feet set on firm ground and instead of v foul images in thought and foul speech; expressing them, he can have "a new song in his mouth even praise unto our too.
