Ultimate Truth.
“There must be ultimate truth
somewhere, and when it is apprehend-
ed by the human mind it will emanci-
pate those who Apprehend it from
bondage to evil. Christian Science as-
serts that ultimate truth concerning
God an dman and their relationship
is revealed by the. Scriptures, and may
be gained by every person when the
Scriptures are rightly interpreted.
State of Texas,
County of Matagorda.
Whereas, by virtue of an order of
sale issued out of the District Court
of Matagorda County, ’Texas, on a

in favor of Royal A. Ferris and John
N. Simpson, and against S. G. An-
derson, No. 3399 on the docket of said
court, I did, on the 16th day of Feb-
ruary, A. D. 1914, at 10 o’clock a. m.,
levy upon the following described
tracts and parcels of land situate in
the county of Matagorda, State of
Texas, and belonging to the said S.

nize the immeasurable service that
Mrs. Eddy has rendered to humanity
by her discovery of Christian Science
and the establishment of the Chris-
tian Science movement. Through her
teaching she has elevated religious
understanding from a theoretical to
a practical basis. She has taught the
world that it is the mission of religion
to heal people of sickness, sorrow,
unhappiness and fear, as well as to
destroy sin, and has so clearly de-
fined the process by means of which
these results may be accomplished as
to make it possible for every one to
prove it for himself and thereby to
heal himself and others. Christian
Science is applied Christianity just as
truly as engineering is applied mathe-
matics. There is no mystery about
it, and when one does his work cor-
rectly, according to its rule, healing
and regeneration must follow.
“In the Bible (John xx:17) we read
that Jesus said to Mary, ‘Go to my
brethren, and say unto them,I ascend
unto my Father, and your Father;
and to my God and your God.’ Also
in I John, iii: 2, ‘Beloved, now are we
the sons of God, and it doth not yet
appear what we shall be: but we know
that, when he shall appear, we shall
be like him; for we shall see him as
he is.’ St. Paul also wrote (Romans
8:1.6, 17), ‘The Spirit itself beareth
witness with our spirit, that we are
the children of God: and if children
then heirs; heirs of God, and joint
heirs with Christ.’
“Christian Science demonstrates
the truth of these inspired statements.
It makes available as a present right
and possibility man’s inheritance as
the son and heir of God by showing (
that the real man created by God is
spiritual and not material; that his
monyCOai^nu^y’ intelligence and har- (
ter; that all of his qualities ahcT&t- ■
tributes are derived from Spirit, and
that every function of the real man
is governed by the divine Mind. Man,
therefore, expresses the divine na-
ture, and hence he is the image of
God, and as such is perfect and im-
mortal. The material man is not the
likeness of God, for matter cannot be
the image of Spirit. He is the false
concept of man, and the sin, disease
and death involved in this false con-
cept will disappear as false mortal be-
liefs are dissolved by truth. The
material belief must give place to the
spiritual fact in every case.
‘ Out of the amplitude of her own
spiritual understanding Mrs. Eddy
has translated into human language
the truth about God and man, and
their relationship; has revealed a per-
fect divine Principle that governs man-
kind, and has proved that the truth
taught by Jesus is scientific, and may
be demonstrated today as of old to
deliver the sinning, sorrowing and
suffering from their oppressors, to set
all manbind free from bondage to
evil, and to establish the kingdom
of God cn earth.
to understand how religion can heal
sickness and destroy sin, but the
words of Jesus make it plain. Since
it is through a knowledge of the
truth that these results are accom-
plished the important thing for each
one is to gain an understanding of
truth instead of being satisfied with
mere belief about it. In other words,
in order to find out how religion can
destroy sin, sickness and all sorts of
evil condition, it is first necessary to
gain an understanding as to what is
religion. To gain the benefits prom-
ised in the Bible to true believers it
'is necessary to get rid of that which
is erroneous in religious belief and
practise, and to ascertain what con-
stitutes true religion.
“There are many who honestly
think that it makes no difference
what religious beliefs they entertain,
so long as they are sincere in them.
A moment’s reflection, however, will
show that such a theory is pernicious
and destructive, for it is perfectly
plain that if a thing is not, in fact,
true, no amount of sincerity on the
part of the believer can ever make it
true. No engineer ever arrived at a
correct result, no matter how sincere-
ly he may have believed that his pro-
cesses were correct, if they were not
so in fact.
“With respect to many things
may be unimportant whether
thing believed is true or not, but with
respect to the things that people be-
lieve about God, and about them-
themselves, and about their relation-
ship to God, they are vital, because
it will be shown that the things be-
lieved with respect to these matters,
become laws that are binding upon
the believer.

Virgil O. Strickler, C. S., New York,
delivered an intelligent and appre-
ciated lecture on Christian Science
at the opera house last night. The
speaker was greeted by a splendid
and attentive audience.
The Tribune regrets its inability to
publish Mr. Strickler’s lecture in full,
which is impossible on account
space, but we give the following
port, which will give our readers
fair example of the best parts of the
lecture.
Mr. Strickler said:
“It is undeniable that Christian
Science has healed many sick people
and has brought about the regenera-
tion of many who were the victims
of sin. Among its membership are
those who have been healed of intem-
perance, of so-called chronic and or-
ganic diseases, as well as of maladies
that were acute or functional. It
has healed otheis ui SU1 1 OW, £cui , Uli ;
happiness and similar diseased men-
tal conditions that often cause more
suffering and distress than physical
disorders.
“In every case of Christian Science
healing, whether the disease was
chronic or acute, physical or mental,
the cure was brought about without
the use of hypnotism, mental sugges-
tion, drugs or any material means,
and entirely through the application
of the spiritual and metaphysical
teachings of Christian Science.
“The healing of the sick, however,
is not the primary purpose of Chris-
tian Science. According to the teach-
ings of this Science all sickness and
disease result from error and false
belief, which are summarized as sin,
and when the error of belief is de-
stroyed by the truth which Christian
Science imparts, the disease disap-
pears. Christian Science, therefore,
teaches that the cause of all disease
and sin is mental, and not physical,
and that both sin and disease may
T>e cured by one and the same meta-
physical process, namely, by the sub-
stitution of spiritual truth in place
of error and false belief in the
man consciousness.
“Ye Shall Know the Truth and
Truth Shall Make You Free.’
“It is recorded in the Sth Chapter
of the Gospel of John that upon one
occasion when Jesus was being har-
assed by the lawyers and theologians
who were plying him with questions
and seeking to entrap him by his an-
swers, he turned to a group of his
followers, who were standing near,
and said to them, ‘Ye shall know the
truth and the truth shall make you
free.’ In all of the Bible there is no
statement of greater importance to
mankind than this utterance of the
Master. It prescribes the remedy for
every human ill. Knowledge of a
thing must come through the mental
and not through the physical, hence,
according to the words of Jesus, man-
kind will be delivered from gin, dis-
ease and death not by doctoring the
physical, but by filling the mental
with truth. If this statement off Je-
sus was true it follows by irresistible
logic that the enslaving conditions
from which humanity suffers must bp
due to the belief of something which
is not true. In other words, if the-
time is ever come, as Jesus has de-
clared that it will come, when the
knowledge of the truth shall emanci-
pate humanity from its bondage to
sickness, sin, unhappiness, poverty,
old age and death, such results can
•only be brought about when the
knowlegde of the truth shall have
displaced and destroyed (out of hu-
consciousnes), the belief of that
There is no es-
for in some other way than as being
a part of the creation of God.
“The. Bible further discloses that
God not only is Love, but is also om-
nipresent. If that is so, then He is
everywhere, for that is what the word
means. He fills all space, and is one
place in-precisely the same degree and
to precisely the same extent that He
is in every other place. Does that not
lift one’s thought above the concept
of a limited God? And is it not plain
that so long as people believe in a
limited God, who is limited as to His
form, dwelling place, or goodness,
they will continue to suffer from lim-
itations—limitations with respect to
life and the duration thereof, health,
strength, mental capacity, success,
love, spirituality and every good
things? Christian Science makes plain
that humanity can hope to be emanci-
pated from the curse of limitations in
any and all of these directions when
men and women shall have given
up their false beliefs about a limited
God, and shall have learned the truth
concerning His nature and charac-
ter.
“Christian Science, therefore, pleads
for a rational and demonstrable un-
derstanding of God in place of theo-
retical and speculative beliefs about
Him.

God.
“In trying to ascertain what con-
stitutes religion the very first sub-
ject to be considered is that which
relates to God. Every one must
agree that a correct understanding
of God is essential as the foundation
of religion. Any system of religious
teaching that is founded upon an im-
perfect or erroneous conception of
God must necessarily fail to bring to
its adherents the help and comfort for
which they seek. When we look
about us and see the splendid fidel-
ity of men and women to their reli-
gious beliefs, and then see how much
suffering and failure they experience,
and how far short they come of at-
taining the good which they honestly
seek, it is a fair deduction that there
is someting wrong about their under-
standing of God.
“No offense will be given, therefore,
by the statement that the average per-
son has a very indefinite and nebu-
lous conception of God. If you were
to ask a dozen people to tell you who
and what God is, you would get a
dozen different answers. There are
some who think God is a person. How
many people there are who, when
they kneel down and close their eyes,
and reverently pray to God, have in
mind a person, or a form, or an
image, to which they pray! And how
many others there are who think of
God as a being of anger and resent-
ment, who sends failure and suffering
to those who displease him! and are
there not a great many others who
think of God as a being who lives in
a far-off country called Heaven, and
that it is necessary for people to die,
and go there, in order to see Him?
“These are only a few of the in-
correct beliefs wh£ch people enter-
tain about God.
“Yet, all the white that people have
gone on believing these erroneous
things about God, fhe Bible statements
concerning him have been perfectly
plain. The Bible says, for instance,
that God is Love, and since He is in-
finite, he must - be infinite Love.
Christian Science says, therefore, that
infinite -.'Love cannot be the author of
evil, either in the form of sickness or
sin, and. that, no matter what one may
think about evil, it must be accounted

Every one agrees that Wadsworth
has about the most progressive bunch
