A Lecture on Christian Science Entitled "Christian Science: The Revelation of the Healing Christ" by Dr. Walton Hubbard, C.S.B. of Los Angeles, California Member of the Board of Lectorship of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts Delivered under the auspices of First Church of Christ, Scientist, of Anaheim, California on Sunday, March 6, 1949 at Anaheim Union High School auditorium The lecturer spoke substantially as follows: There is nothing of so great importance to us as to know God and our relationship to Him, for this understanding frees us from the bondage of sickness and sin and its importance to sick and sinning humanity, she persisted, in the midst of almost unbelievable hardrances and persecutions, in giving it to the world. For myself, I can say that no amount of gratitude that I may express toward her can ever be sufficient payment for the spiritual blessings which she has conferred upon me. The Messiah In considering the healing Christ, as it is revealed in Christian Science, we need to define what the word "Christ" means. The words "Messiah" and "Christ" are identical in meaning. They both mean "anointed." The word "Messiah" occurs many times in the original language of the Old Testament, but except for two instances in the book of Daniel, it is invariably translated "anointed" in our English version. In First and Second Samuel, there are a number of references to the "Lord's anointed" or/the "anointed of the Lord." These references could have been translated "the Lord's Messiah" or "the Messiah of the Lord." Now just as we have today certain rites that are carried out as an evidence that an individual has had power conferred upon him, so in that day a priest or a king was anointed with oil, typifying that the power of God had thus been conferred upon him. So the word "anointed" came to mean "clothed with God's power." Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed David when through spiritual discernment he chose him in preference to all the other sons of Jesse. Mrs. Eddy points out on page 333 of her textbook that "Abraham, Jacob, Moses, and the prophets caught glorious glimpses of the Messiah, or Christ, which baptized these seers in the divine nature, the essence of Love." Christ, the Son of God Coming now to the New Testament, we find that in the four Gospels the word "Christ" carries with it the specific thought of sonship with God. Peter said to Jesus (Matt. 16:16), "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God," and proportion does man bear master. He enters into a sense of the facts, and hends the theology of demonstration in healing raising the dead, and wailing the wave. All these deep-fested Jesus' control over lief that matter is substantiated it can be the arbiter of the constructor of any existence." There Is No Mattter The present status of scientific belief is that which was presumed to smallest division of matter posed of particles of electricity, circulating about a nucleus. Thus it is apparent the old concept of matter discarded, and while the era of what is called matter still evident, matter as seen even to the physicist has disappeared. A famous physicist wrote article which appeared in magazine some time which he pointed out that called "critical thought" writing "matter more and more fact, and mind more and more stantial." Christian Science clauses that the material simply the grosser substance the human mind—that is, body is a part of mortal consciousness. It is that paranormal consciousness which lieve carries us about and flies us, but all the time it getsher mental. The healings that occur in Christian Science offer definite evidence that the body is mental. cite such a healing. A man to a practitioner at one time a growth on his lip. Christianity treatment was given, the course of a week or ten this growth fell off. The man healed. The realization that child of God, expressing God's qualities, could not and therefore did not have normal growth brought about healing. Now it should be evident this constructive spiritual truth did not have to enter what the human mind and then this so-called mind to order body to do something at Anaheim Union High School auditorium The lecturer spoke substantially follows: There is nothing of so great importance to us as to know God and our relationship to Him, for this understanding frees us from the bondage of sickness and sin and brings us into what Paul calls "the abhorious liberty of the children of God" (Rom. 8:21). It is my purpose to discuss with you the subject of the healing Christ as revealed in Christian Science, for it is the Christ-consciousness in us that brings about this freedom. Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, has defined the Christ, on page 583 of her textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," as "the divine manifestation of God, which comes to the flesh to destroy incarnate error." Through the prayerful study of Christian Science, with a sincere desire for spiritual growth, the Christ comes to us, develops in us, and constitutes our salvation. The Discoverer and Founder As a preface to our discussion I should like to tell something about the Discoverer of Christian Science, for by so doing we may be better able to appreciate what she has written. Every advanced idea, every unfortunate Truth, has come to the world through the avenue of some human intelligence. Whoever has discovered or presented truth has done so only because his fundamental qualities, molded by environment and education, have made such a one a suitable channel for the presentation of a particular idea. It was not Shakespeare, the poet, but Newton, the mathematician, who discovered the law of gravitation; not Kipling, but Edison, to whom the secrets of electric lighting were revealed. It was not Napoleon, but Lincoln, who wrote, delivered, and lived the Gettysburg Address. And so it was not some materialist, but Mary Baker Eddy, who discovered Christian Science, and the spiritual character of its teachings as well as the results following their application are of necessity a correct index of the type of thought through which they came. Mrs. Eddy was peculiarly fitted not only for the discovery of Christian Science, but for its presentation and explanation. It was natural and inevitable that she should write the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." From early childhood she manifested a deeply religious nature. She was a tireless student and investigator. In addition to these qualities she was possessed of an ability as a writer, so that from childhood she was on Mrs. Eddy points out on page 333 of her textbook that "Abraham, Jacob, Moses, and the prophets caught glorious glimpses of the Messiah, or Christ, which baptized these seers in the divine nature, the essence of Love." Christ, the Son of God Coming now to the New Testament, we find that in the four Gospels the word "Christ" carries with it the specific thought of sonship with God. Peter said to Jesus (Matt. 16:16), "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God," and the high priest said to him (Matt. 26:63), "I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God." Jesus replied to this question as to whether he had been thus "anointed" by saying (Matt. 26:64), "Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven." Here was Jesus' definite statement that the "anointed," the one to whom the consciousness of sonship with God had come, would manifest the power and presence of God. Now while Jesus demonstrated his sonship with God by manifesting this power, he taught his disciples the Christ, Truth, so far as they were able to apprehend it, and he charged them to do the works that he had done, as evidence of their understanding. This they did, even to raising the dead. John, who was so close to Jesus and who knew Jesus' teaching so well, tells us in his first epistle that "now are we the sons of God" (I John 3:2), and Paul in his epistle to the Galatians (Gal. 4:6) says that "because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father." Christ Jesus In the book of Acts and in the epistles, the word "Christ" and the name "Jesus" are constantly used together, as Jesus Christ or Christ Jesus—that is, Jesus anointed or anointed Jesus. The New Testament states in various places that there were false prophets, false teachers, and false Christians at that time. It would therefore be necessary to identify the true Christ by using Jesus' name in connection with the anointing which he taught. Mrs. Eddy's statement on page 333 of the textbook is especially enlightening. She says: "The word Christ is not properly a synonym for Jesus, though it is commonly so used. Jesus was a human name, which belonged to him in common with other Hebrew boys and men, for it is identical with the name Joshua, the renowned Hebrew leader. On the other hand, Christ is not a name so much as the divine title of Jesus. Christ expresses God's spiritual, eternal nature. The name is synonymous with Messiah, and alludes to the spirituality which is taught, illustrated, and demonstrated in the life of which Christ Jesus was on earth." Since the body is altic mental, it makes no difference whether the erroneous behavior or what is called organic disease. They are both healable one and the same process; those who know nothing of Christian Science, the healing of organic disease seems more difficult. A practicing physician, or about Christian Science, asks some instances of healing; healings recounted were often called organic disease. Of them was that of a woman difficulty that had been diagno­lised, she has never had currence of the trouble. But physician would not accept healing as proof because he would not place any creature in the diagnosis of the species who made it. Other healings declined for the same reason nally; he was told of a woman had a very large goiter. Completely disappeared in days under Christian Science treatment. He immediately took that one! He explained that he accepted it because he could tell what it was, and he never known of such a case disappearing spontaneously; must have been Christian So that healed it. Every instance of physical ing, either functional or org­nical treatment is evidenced only that Christian Science had but that it is not matter that healed, but an erroneous call itself matter. The Christ-Consciousness Hearing Having digressed somewhat offer evidence that there is matter—to point out that when called matter is not substance only a belief—let us consider the Messiah, the Christ, then of God, comes to human conscience and blesses it, freeing it sickness and sin. In many cases, a sufferer... Mrs. Eddy was peculiarly fitted not only for the discovery of Christian Science, but for its presentation and explanation. It was natural and inevitable that she should write the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." From early childhood she manifested a deeply religious nature. She was a tireless student and investigator. In addition to these qualities she was possessed of an ability as a writer, so that from girlhood she was a contributor both in poetry and prose to representative New England publications. Those who are familiar with Mrs. Eddy's work marvel at the immense capacity for independent thinking and research which she manifested. She tells us that she always felt impelled to hunt for the law of healing. In her book "Retrospection and Introspection" (p. 24) she says, "During twenty years prior to my discovery I had been trying to trace all physical effects to a mental cause; and in the latter part of 1866 I gained the scientific certainty that all causation was Mind, and every effect a mental phenomenon." The gratitude which Christian Scientists express toward Mrs. Eddy is often a source of surprise and sometimes of criticism to those who have not experienced the blessings which Christian Science confers on those who study and apply it. The student of Christian Science finds that in studying what Mrs. Eddy has written, there is continued spiritual unfoldment, so that the longer he studies the greater becomes his appreciation of her. As Truth is progressively revealed in his consciousness, it becomes habitual for him to look for corroboration or clarification of the unfoldment that comes to him, by turning to what she has said, either in her textbook or other writings, and he never fails to find it. Having discovered God's law of healing for herself, and realizing Anaheim merchants invite you! Anaheim Gazette since 1870. Primitive Christian Healing Restored Mrs. Eddy has undertaken to change the present-day concept of the Christ, in which Jesus and Christ are synonymous, and to restore the concept which Jesus presented, in which the Christ is what she has defined it to be. "The divine manifestation of God, which comes to the flesh to destroy incarnate error" (Science and Health, p. 583). The fact that thousands have been healed through the anointing that has come to them, in which they have realized in some degree that they are sons of God, is evidence that her contention is correct, and that the Church of Christ Scientist, does indeed do what the Church Manual states it was intended to do, reinstate primitive Christianity and its lost element of healing" (p. 17). Now the healing is brought about by the acceptance of Spirit and all that is spiritual and eternal as real and the rejection of matter and all that pertains to it as unreal. Mrs. Eddy declares on page 369 of her textbook: "In proportion as matter loses to human sense all entity as man, in that enlightening. She says: "The word Christ is not properly a synonym for Jesus, though it is commonly so used. Jesus was a human name, which belonged to him in common with other Hebrew boys and men, for it is identical with the name Joshua, the renowned Hebrew leader. On the other hand, Christ is not a name so much as the divine title of Jesus. Christ expresses God's spiritual, eternal nature. The name is synonymous with Messiah, and alludes to the spirituality which is taught, illustrated, and demonstrated in the life of which Christ Jesus was the embodiment." One of the evidences that the words "Jesus" and "Christ" are commonly believed to be synonymous is the signs that are frequently seen, announcing that "Jesus Saves"; whereas it is the Christ that saves, as exemplified by Jesus.

He enters into a diviner sense of the facts, and comprehends the theology of Jesus as demonstrated in healing the sick, raising the dead, and walking over the wave. All these deeds manifested Jesus' control over the belief that matter is substance, that it can be the arbiter of life or the constructor of any form of existence." There Is No Matter The present status of so-called scientific belief is that the atom, which was presumed to be the smallest division of matter, is composed of particles of electrical energy, circulating about a central nucleus. Thus it is apparent that the old concept of matter has been discarded, and while the phenomena of what is called matter are still evident, matter as substance, even to the physicist, has largely disappeared. A famous physicist wrote an article which appeared in a leading magazine some time ago, in which he pointed out that what he called "critical thought" was making "matter more and more a fluid fact, and mind more and more substantial." Christian Science declares that the material body is simply the grosser substratum of the human mind—that is, that the body is a part of mortal human consciousness. It is that part of human consciousness which we believe carries us about and identifies us, but all the time it is altogether mental. The healings that occur in Christian Science offer definite evidence that the body is mental. Let me cite such a healing. A man came to a practitioner at one time with a growth on his lip. Christian Science treatment was given, and in the course of a week or ten days this growth fell off. The man was sealed. The realization that the child of God, expressing only God's qualities, could not have, and therefore did not have, an abnormal growth brought about the healing. Now it should be evident that his constructive spiritual thinking did not have to enter what we call the human mind and then direct his so-called mind to order a matter body to do something or to It is generally admitted that God is all-knowing; hence, He is infinite Mind. In order that we may better understand the operation, the activity, of infinite Mind, let us illustrate by using the ordinary conception of the human mind as an example. You say your friend has a fine mind. You say you know this because he has many fine ideas which he expresses. You have never seen his mind, but you have known the expression of it in ideas. If he never moved a muscle, never spoke a word, you would rightly conclude that there was no mind there. So a mind to be called a mind must be filled with ideas, and an idea by virtue of being an idea must be expressed. It is impossible to conceive of a mind filled with ideas, yet unexpressed; for a mind with no expression is not a mind but a blank. How do you know that a rock has no mind and no ideas? Why, simply because it has no expression, for where there are ideas there is expression. The infinite Mind, therefore, is filled with an infinitude of ideas or thoughts, which must be expressed; and the activity, the expression, the manifestation of these ideas constitutes man and the universe. As God's ideas we exist in Him, and because we exist in Him the Scriptures declare that "in him we live, and move, and have our being" (Acts 17:28). There is a further quality of an idea which we should consider. An idea has no ability to do anything or to be anything except as the idea of the mind in which it exists. It cannot change itself and so become more or less, or different, than mind intended it should be, because it has no volition of its own and must of necessity express exactly what mind causes it to express. So the ideas in divine Mind must of necessity express exactly what Mind intends they should express. Now the real man is, as we have shown, the perfect idea of infinite Mind and has only divine volition. He has, therefore, no ability to choose to do evil or to be sick, nor can he ever become separated from the Mind which contains him. Man, then, God's idea, God's image and likeness, many kinds or varieties as there are diseases that are believed to be caused by them. In other words there are not enough varieties to go around. For many years, bacteriologists hunted in vain for the missing germs. One would have thought that the failure to find them might cast some doubt on the germ theory itself, but that did not prove to be the case. No suitable germ being found, another invention was brought out. It is what is called a virus. What is a virus? It is something or nothing, which is said to be present in connection with the diseased condition. It cannot be seen by the highest powered microscope. No materialist knows what it is. Still, it is believed in and feared. Christian Science can name it, describe it, and locate it in human consciousness. It is fear. Love Destroys Fear The one constant factor in the entire belief about germs is fear, and fear is readily destroyed by the consciousness of divine Love's presence. Certainly there can be no fear where Love is, and Love is everywhere. The infinitesimal forms of life which are to be found in God's creation are not harmful. On the contrary, they are an essential part of the infinite manifestation of good. In the atmosphere of divine Love, there is no lurking evil, and no germs or virus to transmit evil to the anointed of God. Let us endeavor to accept more of the Christ, more of the anointing, to the end that our fears may be destroyed by the certainty of the presence of infinite good. An interesting incident which illustrates the immunity from contagion which Christian Science brings occurred during the First World War. There was a very severe epidemic of influenza at that time. Fort George Wright at Spokane, Washington, was then being used as a military hospital. It proved almost impossible to operate the place, because the non-medical helpers were so subject to influenza that the necessary work could not be done. In some way an appeal was made to the times difficult to find men engaged in just the right or to demonstrate a right supply. Here the undoubted man's true status as a Christian Science bringer and healing. He who insists on manifesting the Christ of God, expresses the good. He manifests in alertness, courtesy, kind operation, tactfulness, sourcefulness; in short qualities of Love. He strives as much as possible, in he may deserve all and he receives. As God's own but of work, never always about his Father's always blessing others. Not search for a position may receive a salary; no place he looks for is this which he can be of great ice and where the light him can shine forth most tively. Vigorous work is necessary to reverse the claim of lack. A man once said: "Business has no value for failure to make pay will lose the truck which tries to my ability to make I have no money to buy your wife and children are able turned out into the street seems to be no hope." Was: "You say that you buy your truck, that you money for food, and that family is being turned out street; nevertheless,the mains that you are the God,and that you lack You cannot lose anything nected with your rightful Divine Love feeds and cleans properly cares for shelfers you.Divine Love falls." Weeks later he wrote that none of the evils he fearing had befallen his business had suddenly better,and he was able food and to pay his rent and those things that were What a wonderful thing that tute the abundance of divinity for the terrifying fear of love Is Expressed in Love Organic Disease Healed Since the body is altogether mental, it makes no difference whether the erroneous belief is functional or what is called organic. They are both healed by one and the same process, but to those who know nothing of Christian Science, the healing of organic disease seems more difficult. A practicing physician, curious about Christian Science, asked for some instances of healing. The healings recounted were of so-called organic disease. One of them was that of a woman with a difficulty that had been diagnosed by half a dozen physicians in a large city as tuberculosis of the respiratory body, which is a gland situated on the under side of the brain. Under Christian Science treatment she was soon healed, and although many years have elapsed, she has never had a reurrence of the trouble. But the physician would not accept the healing as proof, because he said he would not place any credence in the diagnosis of the specialists who made it. Other healings were declined for the same reason. Finally, he was told of a woman who did a very large goiter. This completely disappeared in two years under Christian Science treatment. He immediately said, "I will take that one!" He explained that he accepted it because anyone told what it was, and he had ever known of such a condition appearing spontaneously, so it must have been Christian Science at it. Every instance of physical healings, either functional or organic, brought about by Christian Science treatment is evidence not why that Christian Science heals, but that it is not matter that is elided, but an erroneous belief itself matter. The Christ-Consciousness Heals Having digressed somewhat to her evidence that there is no better—to point out that what is needed matter is not substance, but by a belief—let us consider how Messiah, the Christ, the Son God, comes to human consciousness and blesses it, freeing it from sin. In many cases, a sufferer findent, than mind intended it should be, because it has no volition of its own and must of necessity express exactly what mind causes it to express. So the ideas in divine Mind must of necessity express exactly what Mind intends they should express. Now the real man is, as we have shown, the perfect idea of Infinite Mind and has only divine volition. He has, therefore, no ability to choose to do evil or to be sick, nor can he ever become separated from the Mind which contains him. Man, then, God's idea, God's image and likeness, has all the qualities of God and not a single quality that is not of Him. He is, therefore, healthful and holy, perfect, spiritual, and immortal. God Is Man's Soul Soul is a term for God which Mrs. Eddy has given us which, when understood, will help us to understand our relationship to Him. Ordinary religious belief declares that man is material, but that he possesses a soul, a divine implanting, which lives after the death of the body. According to commonly accepted religious belief, man's soul sees, hears, feels, and carries on all the activities of his spiritual being—the activities that were, prior to the belief called death, carried on by a mortal material mind and its accompanying material body. Now just as Christian Science shows plainly that the real man does not have a little mind of his own, but that he expresses and reflects the one Mind which is God, so Christian Science shows that the real man does not possess a little soul of his own, but that he possesses and reflects the one Soul, which is Spirit. In your true selfhood, you are the forever expression of the perception, the comprehension, the intelligence, the activities of Soul, which is God. Divine Love Essential Love, as a term for God, speaks to us from the standpoint of the manifestation of God's infinite goodness. All of Love's ideas express this goodness. In consciously undertaking to manifest God's goodness, we are expressing divine Love. Mrs. Eddy has said: "The vital part, the heart and soul of Christian Science, is Love. Without this, the letter is but the dead body of Science—pulseless, cold, inanimate" (Science and Health, p. 113). Note that the word "Love" is spelled with a capital. It is not a human sense of love, but divine Love that is meant, and this Love must be expressed by us humanly if we are to demonstrate health and harmony in our own lives and the lives of others. In her book "The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany" Mrs. Eddy, in modestly speaking of her great accomplishment, says (p. 247), "The little that I have accomplished has all been done through love—self-forgetful, patient, unpresence of infinite good." An interesting incident which illustrates the immunity from contagion which Christian Science brings occurred during the First World War. There was a very severe epidemic of influenza at that time. Fort George Wright at Spokane, Washington, was then being used as a military hospital. It proved almost impossible to operate at the place, because the non-medical helpers were so subject to influenza that the necessary work could not be done. In some way an appeal was made to the Christian Scientists in the community, because they were the only ones who were unafraid. They carried on the work, scrubbing floors and doing any work that needed to be done. They kept the hospital in operation, and they did not get influenza. Their consciousness of divine Love destroyed the belief of contagion and proved that Love triumphs over fear. Another fear that is destroyed by divine Love is that of being allergic to certain foods and other substances. What is termed hay fever is one of these fears. I remember a man who had suffered from this belief at certain seasons for many years. Christian Science had been offered to him many times and declined, but finally he decided to try it. The difficulty left him immediately; but before the healing was fixed in his thought, he saw one of his friends manifesting the same symptoms, and the suggestion was too much for him; so he had to have another treatment to complete the healing. Many years later he said he had never had a recurrence of this trouble. It is fear that makes us allergic, and divine Love casts out fear. Man Is Governed by God A belief that has developed in human thought is that of too little or too great glandular activity, a belief that man is governed by his glands. God governs man. The spiritual man expresses Soul. His functions and actions are neither deficient nor excessive. They are perfect. Moreover, all his functions operate in perfect harmony one with another; for they are governed by the one Mind, and they are the expressions of the one Soul. What about the vitamin fallacy? The material food that mortals eat contains all that is necessary to sustain them. The animals need no vitamin pills to add to the natural food they eat, and neither does man. Daniel, as related in the first chapter of the book in the Bible bearing his name, refusing to defile himself by eating the food provided by the pagan king Nebuchadnezzar, proved that because of his closeness to God, pulse and water sustained him better than could the king's meat. On page 442 of Science and Health Mrs. Eddy says,"Christ Truth,gives mortals eternal food."

Is Not a Factory Or An Industrial Company But It Is Not a Having digressed somewhat to our evidence that there is no matter—to point out that what is needed matter is not substance, but by a belief—let us consider how the Messiah, the Christ, the Son God, comes to human consciousness and blesses it, freeing it from illness and sin. In many cases, a sufferer finds no relief through the use of material means and having heard Christian Science, turns to it; shaps skeptically, for healing, times the healing is immediate, with little or no understanding of the part of the patient the heal comes about. Such healings or out Mrs. Eddy's statement on the 449 of Science and Health, here she says, "A grain of Christmas Science does wonders for details, so omnipotent is Truth, more of Christian Science must be gained in order to continue in doing." We are to get the blessings which Christian Science offers, we get more of it, and not be satisfied with just a smattering of We must undertake to become increasingly conscious that we are us of God." Divine Synonyms In order to become increasingly conscious of God, we should dwell in His nature and character. Analysis of the various names which God has been called is ful in bringing about this re-On page 465 of her textbook, Science and Health, Mrs. Eddy has used God as "incorporeal, divine, supreme, infinite Mind, soul, Principle, Life, Truth." Here are seven synonyms God, each one of which exudes qualities and characteristics not so readily apparent in any term. Let us consider some them, beginning with infinite God. Mortal Man's Inventions The Bible declares that "God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions" (Eccl. 7:29). One of the most generally accepted of such inventions is the germ theory. The people are taught to believe in germs and to expect to be attacked by them. In the beginning, investigators searching for contagion in matter, but never in thought, never in the fear that is at the root of it, concluded it was produced by microscopic forms of life. These microscopic forms of life are mostly vegetable, and there are not as Easter Sunday April 17. Spring's just around the corner. The material food that mortals eat contains all that is necessary to sustain them. The animals need no vitamin pills to add to the natural food they eat, and neither does man. Daniel, as related in the first chapter of the book in the Bible bearing his name, refusing to defile himself by eating the food provided by the pagan king Nebuchadnezzar, proved that because of his closeness to God, pulse and water sustained him better than could the king's meat. On page 442 of Science and Health Mrs. Eddy says, "Christ, Truth gives mortals temporary food and clothing until the material transformed with the ideal disappears, and man is clothed and fed spiritually." The present practice of teaching, and in other ways publicizing the minute details of various disease beliefs, increases the fear of them. This fear can be eliminated only by divine Love—by entertaining the Christ, the Son of God, in consciousness. Man's life is not dependent on a heart muscle or on the blood supply to it. God is Life hence God is man's Life. We gain life eternal as we understand divine Love and accept the anointing which enables us to realize that we are "sons of God." John declares (1 John 3:9) that "whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God." One might paraphrase this statement by saying that he that is born of God cannot commit sinness. He cannot manifest abnormal growths he cannot waste away, or break down, or become consumed. His functions cannot become impaired or the creative power that brought him forth remains in God, and he cannot manifest error of any kind, because he is born of God. Divine Love's Abundance The fear of lack is often one of our biggest problems. In a world of complex relations, it is some- For results—use Gazette ad Toastmasters Plan Speak-Off Preliminary to the Toastmasters area speak-off, the Anaheim club will vie with Smedley club No. 1, March 28, in Santa Ana, it was announced during the regular dinner meeting at La Palma Grill Monday evening, outgoing president Hermán Hoch presiding. The area contest will see five finalists from the eleven clubs in this area trying for top speech honors at the Santa Ana Community Civic Center, West Eighth street, April 8, at 7 p.m. The well-polished Patterson trophy went to exchange speaker D. Siracusa, official of the Bowen Oil Tool Company, Huntington Beach, for his seven-minute presentation of "Nuremberg Trials." Vic Huber was his individual critic. Dr. Brock Roberts, toastmaster of the evening, introduced the speakers. "What's the Matter with Anaheim" was the five-minute topic of Ken Heuler who, criticised by R. J. Allen, won the Optimist trophy. With Marion Pickel as his individual critic, Aubrey Van Verst gave a five-minute talk, "What Anaheim Has to Offer." Hursel Snyder spoke five-minutes on "How Anaheim Was Started." His criticism was Pickel. Hank Allen was general evaluator; Dr. Fred Rusch, grammarian, and John Knutzen, timekeeper. Harold Hall was introduced to the group by Marion Pickel. Joe Elliott, another Toastmaster from Huntington Beach, discussed oil wells in a seven-minute speech entitled "Mysteries of the Deep." Hoch acted as his critic. Following the invocation given by John Knutzen future events were announced during the business difficult to find and to be engaged in just the right activity or to demonstrate a right sense of supply. Here the understanding of man's true status as revealed in Christian Science brings harmony and healing. He who is undertaking to manifest the Christ, the Son of God, expresses the qualities of good. He manifests intelligence, alertness, courtesy, kindness, cooperation, tactfulness, and resourcefulness; in short, all the qualities of Love. He strives to give as much as possible, in order that he may deserve all and more than he receives. As God's child, he is never but of work, never inactive, always about his Father's business, always blessing others. He does not search for a position just so he may receive a salary; rather, the place he looks for is the one in which he can be of greatest service and where the light that is in him can shine forth most effectively. Vigorous work is sometimes necessary to reverse the insistent claim of lack. A man once wrote and said: "Business has been bad. For failure to make payments, I will lose the truck which is essential to my ability to make a living. I have no money to buy food. My wife and children are about to be turned out into the street. There seems to be no hope." The reply was: "You say that you are losing your truck, that you have no money for food, and that your family is being turned out into the street; nevertheless, the fact remains that you are the child of God, and that you lack nothing. You cannot lose anything connected with your rightful activity. Divine Love feeds and clothes you and properly cares for you and shelters you. Divine Love never falls." Weeks later he wrote, saying that none of the evils he had been fearing had befallen him. His business had suddenly turned for the better, and he was able to buy food and to pay his rent and to do those things that were needed. What a wonderful thing to substitute the abundance of divine Love for the terrifying fear of lack! Love Is Expressed in Lovableness Divine Love feeds and clothes you and properly cares for you and shelters you. Divine Love never fails. Weeks later he wrote, saying that none of the evils he had been fearing had befallen him. His business had suddenly turned for the better, and he was able to buy food and to pay his rent and to do those things that were needed. What a wonderful thing to substitute the abundance of divine Love for the terrifying fear of lack! Love Is Expressed in Lovableness The various unlovely traits of character which we entertain as mortals are all expressions of fear, and they are destroyed by divine Love. What a wise provision Mrs. Eddy made in stressing the healing of disease in all that she wrote. The problems that come to us and from which we consciously suffer are sufficient incentive to keep us studying and applying Christian Science and offer time in which these errors of character may be healed, for we are apt to recognize them belatedly and often to give them up quite reluctantly. Being opposed to divine Love, they are expressions of fear. Instances could be related where individuals who had been addicted to fits of ill-temper discovered that the study of Christian Science had healed them and their lives were thus made happier both for themselves and for others. Much of this leavening going on in human consciousness is so gradual that the one whose thought is being spiritualized is not conscious of the destruction of any specific error of character, but friends and associates often marvel at the change. Sometimes the healing of sin is quickly accomplished. Let me relate such a case. A mother appealed to Christian Science for help. She said her young son was causing her much anguish; she said further that he seemed to be headed straight for the penientiary. He was expelled from every school he entered, and seemed altogether unmanageable. She asked that work be done for him. She was just turning to Christian Science. Soon she wrote that a miracle had occurred. The boy had now become an honor pupil in school and an obedient and good boy at home. Thus, with absent treatment at a great distance, this healing of sin came about. The Christ of God in Us We should recognize that the noointing that is going on in us is not some superficial thing which is superimposed on our human thinking. I am sure that we are all convinced that Jesus' consciousness of the Christ was with him at all times and not just when he mentally or audibly declared it. To our realization of sonship with God is continually with us. Itrows, and develops, and makes us impress upon all our thoughts Started. His critic was Pickel.

How Does Christian Science Heal? THE DISAPPEARANCE OF organic and functional diseases Good citizenship has been the aim and purpose of the organization since the days of Lord Robert Baden-Powell, originator of the idea of Guiding and Scouting for boys and girls. Scout executives said there are Girl Scouts in every state and territory in the United States—more than a million in more than 8,000 communities. They are a part of the World Association of Girl Guides and Scouts, with a total membership of about three million in twenty-eight countries. History of Uniforms The first American Girl Scouts copied their uniforms from photographs of British Girl Guides brought back to Savannah by Julieffe Low. The ensemble was completed by light blue sateen ties, black felt campaign hats and black shoes and stockings. The clay soil of Georgia proved quite devastating to the blue duck of the original blue uniforms and the Girl Scouts themselves voted a change to khaki as more practical for hiking, picnicking and camping. Besides, in 1913, khaki was a "badge of honor" to these girls who were developing an interest in out-of-door activities previously permitted only to their khaki-outfitted brothers. The girls had a choice of button-down-the-front coat dress or a short coat which could be worn with either a skirt or pleated bloomers. Troop leaders wore Norfolk-jacketed suits of khaki-colored wool with white shirts and black ties. When the United States entered the first World War in 1917 the Girl Scouts found that much of their newly-acquired training could be very useful to their country. Many of them volunteered for Red Cross work, others sold bonds and all helped whenever and wherever they could. So many girls wanted to take active part in helping to win the war that they joined the Girl Scouts and by the end of the war membership had tripled. In 1928, with a membership of 167,925, the Girl Scouts voted another uniform change. A grey-green uniform, becoming to both blonde and brunette, was decided upon. This uniform was a trim dress of cotton covert, with action pleats at each side and a convertible collar. A green belt, green knee-length socks, a breton hat and a bright tie completed the uniform. The leaders wore a dress of green wool with a simple surplice neckline trimmed with white pique and a breton hat. This grey-green uniform (with such mod- How Does Christian Science Heal? THE DISAPPEARANCE of organic and functional disease, as well as of trouble in other forms, is continually recorded among those who have turned to Christian Science for help. The method of such overcoming of difficulty is prayer — a spiritually scientific manner of thinking based on the teaching of Christ Jesus. What this prayer is and how anyone can understand it and use its effectually in accordance with his need are fully explained in the Christian Science textbook.

New Design With the war's end, Mainbocher, whose understanding of good basic design made the WAVE uniform so special, volunteered to redesign the Girl Scout uniform. Observing the Intermediate Scouts in the troop meetings and other activities, Mainbocher agreed that the simple button-down-the-front dress well suited Scouts' needs. Working with this idea the modern uniform was developed. The Adirondack range of mountains, in New York state, cover an area of 12,000 square miles.
