parable of the period, that all error, physical, moral, or religious, will fall before Truth demonstrated, even as dry leaves fall to enrich the soil for fruitage.

Sin, sickness, and disease flee before the evangel of Truth as the mountain mists before the sun. Truth is [30]

[Page 252.]

the tonic for the sick, and this medicine of Mind is not [1]

necessarily infinitesimal but infinite. Herein the mental medicine of divine metaphysics and the medical systems of allopathy and h.o.m.opathy differ. Mental medi- cine gains no potency by attenuation, and its largest [5]

dose is never dangerous, but the more the better in every case.

Christian Science cla.s.sifies thought thus: Right thoughts are reality and power; wrong thoughts are unreality and powerless, possessing the nature of dreams. Good thoughts [10]

are potent; evil thoughts are impotent, and they should appear thus. Continuing this category, we learn that sick thoughts are unreality and weakness; while healthy thoughts are reality and strength. My proof of these novel propositions is demonstration, whereby any man [15]

can satisfy himself of their verity.

Christian Science is not only the acme of Science but the crown of Christianity. It is universal. It ap- peals to man as man; to the whole and not to a por- tion; to man physically, as well as spiritually, and to all [20]

mankind.

It has one G.o.d. It demonstrates the divine Principle, rules and practice of the great healer and master of meta- physics, Jesus of Nazareth. It spiritualizes religion and restores its lost element, namely, healing the sick. It [25]

consecrates and inspires the teacher and preacher; it equips the doctor with safe and sure medicine; it en- courages and empowers the business man and secures the success of honesty. It is the dear children's toy and strong tower; the wise man's spiritual dictionary; the [30]

poor man's money; yea, it is the pearl priceless whereof our Master said, if a man findeth, he goeth and selleth

[Page 253.]

all that he hath and buyeth it. Buyeth it! Note the [1]

scope of that saying, even that Christianity is not merely a gift, as St. Paul avers, but is bought with a price, a great price; and what man knoweth as did our Master its value, and the price that he paid for it? [5]

Friends, I am not enough the new woman of the period for outdoor speaking, and the incidental platform is not broad enough for me, but the speakers that will now ad- dress you-one a congressman-may improve our platforms; and make amends for the nothingness of [10]

matter with the allness of Mind.

Well Doinge Is The Fruite Of Doinge Well

HERRICK

This period is big with events. Fraught with history, it repeats the past and portends much for the future. [15]

The Scriptural metaphors,-of the woman in travail, the great red dragon that stood ready to devour the child as soon as it was born, and the husbandmen that said, ”This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the in- heritance may be ours,”-are type and shadow of this [20]

hour.

A mother's love touches the heart of G.o.d, and should it not appeal to human sympathy? Can a mother tell her child one t.i.the of the agonies that gave that child birth? Can that child conceive of the anguish, until she [25]

herself is become a mother?

Do the children of this period dream of the spiritual Mother's sore travail, through the long night, that has opened their eyes to the light of Christian Science? Cherish

[Page 254.]

these new-born children that filial obedience to which the [1]
