summary:
  The great element of reform is not born of human wisdom; it draws not its life from human organizations; rather is it the crumbling away of material elements from reason, the translation of law back to its original language,--Mind, and the final unity between man and God. Idolatry sprang from the belief that God is a form, more than an infinite and divine Mind; sin, sickness, and death originated in the belief that Spirit materialized into a body, infinity became finity, or man, and the eternal entered the temporal.

  These people should not be expected, more than others, to give all their time to Christian Science work, receiving no wages in return, but left to be fed, clothed, and sheltered by charity. Sickness is the schoolmaster, leading you to Christ; first to faith in Christ; next to belief in God as omnipotent; and finally to the _understanding_ of God and man in Christian Science, whereby you learn that God is good, and in Science man is His likeness, the forever reflection of goodness.

  24 These people should not be expected, more than others, to give all their time to Christian Science work, receiving no wages in return, but left to be fed, clothed, and sheltered 27 by charity. It is impossible 21 to teach thorough Christian Science to promiscuous and large assemblies, or to persons who cannot be addressed individually, so that the mind of the pupil may be dissected 24 more critically than the body of a subject laid bare for anatomical examination.

  On the twenty-third day of September, 1892, at the request of Rev. Mary Baker Eddy, twelve of her students and Church members met and reorganized, under her jurisdiction, the Christian Science Church and named it, THE FIRST CHURCH OF CHRIST, SCIENTIST. Mrs. Eddy was appointed on the committee to draft the Tenets of the Mother Church--the chief corner stone whereof is, that Christian Science, as taught and demonstrated by our Master, casts out error, heals the sick, and restores the lost Israel: for the stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner.

  What is Christian Science? |You do not understand Christian Science is the usual reply of the followers of Mrs. Eddy to any one disputing their claims, or trying to point out the many inconsistencies in their creed. Why I Discuss Christian Science |If asked why I devote time and labour to the discussion of such seemingly foolish propositions as those propounded by Mrs. Eddy, my defence is that I am very much interested in the people who accept Christian Science, and would like to be of service to them, even though they may hold me and my motives in derision.

  Christian Science healing? I see clearly that students in Christian Science should, at present, continue to organize churches, schools, and associations for the furtherance and unfolding of Truth, and that my necessity is not necessarily theirs; but it was the Father's opportunity for furnishing a new rule of order in divine Science, and the blessings which arose therefrom.

  Christian Science was founded by Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] CONCORD, N.H., February 4, 1895.--The article published in the HERALD on January 29, regarding a statement made by Mrs. Laura Lathrop, pastor of the Christian Science congregation, that meets every Sunday in Hodgson Hall, New York, was shown to Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, the Christian Science discoverer, to-day.

  Later I was told that almost the entire congregation was composed of persons who had either been themselves, or had seen members of their own families, healed by Christian Science treatment; and I was further told that once when a Boston clergyman remonstrated with Judge Hanna for enticing a separate congregation rather than offering their strength to unite with churches already established--I was told he replied that the Christian Science Church did not recruit itself from other churches, but from the graveyards! In 1893 the World's Parliament of Religions, held in Chicago, used, in all its public sessions, my form of prayer since 1866; and one of the very clergymen who had publicly proclaimed me the prayerless Mrs. Eddy, offered his audible adoration in the words I use, besides listening to an address on Christian Science from my pen, read by Judge S.J. Hanna, in that unique assembly.

  Several times Walter was on the point of asking some question, but did not. What a position for a minister of the gospel to be in, unable to explain the simplest things regarding creation; preaching that man is the image and likeness of God, who is Spirit, and believing man was created out of _dust_ or materially, thereby contradicting the statement, that we are the image and likeness of God, Spirit; for matter is not spirit, but its opposite.

He was there, I suppose, when Lord Thurso and Lady Maud were up during the typhoid.

  Catherine Thurso, being half American by birth, was a compatriot of many of these, and her short, perfectly modelled nose went instinctively into the air when she thought of them. The movements and conjunction of these stars and planets of London life are far more inscrutable than the vagaries of the simpler constellations of the heaven, but just at this moment Catherine Thurso was the central sun round which all else revolved.

  It needs to be said on one side that a good deal of Christian Science religion is really taking the Ark of God to battle, using religion, that is, for comfort, material prosperity, health and just such tangible things. We challenge the fortunes of the Unknown in the poet's phrase, and seek other heights in other lives, God willing.

  I wish to add, Miss Katherine, her principal here interposed, that your special contribution to the programme of last Friday evening was exceedingly entertaining; and--his eyes resting very kindly on her--having learned the circumstances that inspired it, I heartily appreciate the spirit with which you met and mastered them. Yes, and I've a better idea now of what Miss Katherine once said about God--that He is Mind and perfect, and if we would let this perfect Mind rule us we would be well.
