Principles of Christian Science
Explained to Several Hundred at
Junior College Saturday Evening
Several hundred persons heard
Mrs. Nevi* B. Ritchie of Sewickley,
Pa., who gave a lecture on Chris-
tion Selence entitled “The Gospel
of Salvation,". Saturday ovenin* in
the Junior Colle** auditorium.
The lecture was given under the
, auspice* of the First Church of
Christ Scientist, Wichita Falls, H.
N. Roberts, first reader with the lo-
cal church, introduced the speaker.
The lecture in part follows:
la the Bible we are taught to
work, watch, and pray, and Jesus
said, “The works that I do shall
' he do also." To work out a problem
in mathematics correctly, one must
understand something of the role or
law governing that problem, just as
one must understand something of
the laws of music in. order to ex-
press its harmony and beauty. To
work out ths problems of life sc-
cording to divine low and to be able
to prove our way step by step, we
must understand not only tbs law,
but ths divins Principle from which
all real law emanates. Christian
Science teaches that the fundamen-
tal Principle, the first and only
Cause, is God. In the Bible twe read,
in Genesis, “And God saw every
sthing that hs had mads, and, be-
hold, it was very g00d.” Does it
not therefore follow that the law
governing God’s perfect creation
must, of necessity, be exact, unfail-
ing good?
Christian people whose religion
is based upon the Scriptures con-
cede that God in Ufa, Truth. Love,
% Spirit. Words cannot define God
more clearly, for as we, take each
term, analyse Ito meaning, examine
It prayerfully, we find that we
have a knowable, provable God, A
first Cause from which must pro-
deed oil that is real and eternal
God
Christian Science makes clear to
us that God to “the same yea’er-
day, today, and forever.- It also
makes clear to us the availability
of this changeless God who to in-
finite good, this first Cause who is
ths maker, sustainer, and ruler of
% the universe, forever- the same, be-
etowin* all *oed upon His perfect.
God la infinite, that is, ent
complete within Himself, And Cl
tian Science teacher that sine,
to within Himsel
includes only the
divine strength, wawnom, nuns,
happiness: all that to good and har-
monious. He to the source of all,
and this all to divine. He to self-
existent and the only true Being.
Does It not follow, therefore, that
the source, cause, and basis of all
that really exists to God, the all-
inclusive, infinite, divine Mind or
Principle from which au good pro-

Christ Jesus came showing us the
way of salvation, an the Scriptures
tell us, that he came to seek and
“save that which was lest.” To ex-
perience the salvation taught by
Jesus one must follow hia teaching
and: example, and do the necessary
works. One must willingly give up
sin as, well aa sickness, for full sal-
vation means complete regenera-
tion. 1
So to working out one’s salvation
one should seek to strive, in sil hu-
mility, to understand the inexorable
law of’ God, which, when rightly
understood and applied, will solve
every problem in human experience,
will supply all good. Then, in seek-
ing salvation one’s greatest need to
for spiritual perception. For this
one should pray constantly.

To gain the faintest understand- In the Scriptures we are admon-
* of God as Father, Mother. Life, ished to seek God through prayer.
And Paul tells as to “pray without
ceasing.” Surely you will agree with
me, since constant prayer le esoon-
tial, it is absolutely necessary that
we understand the true nature of
prayer. A
Jesus, our great Way-shower,
taught his disciples one prayer,
known as the Lord’s Prayer. This
prayer to loved and revered by all
Christian people, and will, when
rightly understood and applied,
meet, in the most practical way,
every human need. “
All Christian Scientists are taught
to love and study the Bible. The
teachings of Christian Science, as
given in “Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures” by Mary
Baker Eddy, will unlock to all earn-
est seekers, when rightly under-
stood, the treasures of the Bible and
make their rich promises usable, to
all, here and now. The teaching of
Christian Science in its entirety,s
founded on the Bible. 1
Christ, Light of Truth. •
Christian Science teaches that
Christ is the complete expression
of God’s nature, the light of spirit-
ual understanding that reveals God
and destroys the darkness of ma-
terlallty. This light of truth and
spiritual understanding was ex-
pressed in, fullest measure by the
great master Christian, Jesus the
Christ. j • '
The light thrown upon the Scrip-
tures through .the revelation and
study of Christian Science makes
clear to one the life mission of our
ing of Ood as Father, Mother, Lite,
Truth, and Love, aad man as His
perfect reflection, will give to all
hope and assurance. It will fill
empty hearts with unspeakable joy
and courage, and make them glow
with tender fove,e,4 gratitude.
Now the question is. How may we
understand man? We need only
turn to the Bible to learn the truth
about man, la the first chapter of
denemin we read, "God created man
in his own image, in ths image of
n. nim;" and that God
gave man dominion over nil things,
g from this true basis will
discloss to you, and to all who seek
salvation, that everythin* proceed-
in* from God must be God-like,
good, complete, and perfect. The
reel man, the man of God’s creat-
ing. must forever manifest all the
- el, spiritual qualities of his
Maker, and can never be deprived
A. snun rich inheritance. a
God has not one material quality,
therefore man cannot reflect mat-
ter or mortality. God Is Mind, Man,
than, as God’s idea of reflection,
expresses always, for God to In-
finite, this one Mind. Therefore, man
reflects all intelligence, has all wis-
dom, and is only capable of juds-
ing wisely, for Mind, God, Is su-
promo.
Then the natural conclusion from
the correct view of man is that he

flection of his Father, Mother.

The business man who makes it a rule
to “see his banker first” knows that the
‘rule is good for all the time. That he
helps himself by it, not only when the

smooth. That it’s a good rule for fair

virgin birth enabled him to be the

Christian Science, the way of full
salvation, has come to bring peace,
joy, happiness,” and success to the
whole world. It is the truth that
reveals and makes clear to human
comprehension the all-mightiness of
God, that Me in infinite, all-inclue
sive good, the sole Creator of the
universe. Also, it makes clear that
man, made la His image and like-
ness, must and does reflect God’s
perfection. Therefore it is impose
sible to add to or take from the per-
fect likeness of God, because re-
flection can never be changed with-
out changing ita source. Reflection
is effect, not cause,
surely, then, the only conclusion
to be reached in regard to man is
that since God is changeless and
will forever remain the source.
Cause, and Creator of His perfect
spiritual creation, man. His reflect
tion, cannot be touched, changed,
or destroyed by any belief of mor-
tality. Neither can man lose his
perfect spiritual Identity and Indi-
viduality. As mortals cling stead-
fastly to this truth about God and
man, the Night of spiritual under-
standing will dawn upon human
consciousness and penetrate and
destroy the mist of materiality, thus
revealing to human apprehension
ths man of God’s creating.
Truly Christian Science is the
gospel of full and complete saiva-
lion for the whole world. It ta pro-
claiming to all mankind the unl-
versality of good. It is ths great
spiritual light thst is penetrating
end clearing swsy the mist of ma-
teriality, th usrevealing the glory
of God’s perfect spiritual creation.

The Man Who Does Not
AY PROMPTI
Practices Imposition
= Time was when it was a common practice with certain classes of people to let bills 1
drag for months and months.
Families would go to Europe o» to the mountains or to the seashore for a whole
season and leave a trail of unpaid bills behind them. Nothing was thought of it
If the subject was ever mentioned it merely evoked mild pleasantries and the atti-
* tude of the guilty one was boasted rather than apologetic. 1
Today the situation is reversed. Worthwhile people are paying their bills prompt-
ly. Putting them off for months and months is no longer customary. The mer-
chants do not permit or sanction it as they once did. And the few individuals who
still adhere to the old practice are becoming enlightened-gently in some cases,
i forcibly in others, courteously in all—as to the wrong they are doing.
* - — - --------
No man today will boast of the account he pays “whenever he feels like it." No
group of men will smile with the one who speaks pridefully of the money he owes, ,
and which is overdue. , -
This healthier public sentiment is largely the result of the united and intelligent -
action of the members of the Retail Credit Men’s Association of Wichita Falls. —
On their books your name will stand high, if you getin step and pay your bills
promptly.
