8 THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE- WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 7. 1898. AN ADI3KESS ON CHRISTIAN SCIENCE Concluded from P.irp 3.1 tlan Science shown Unit our thought, liavlnp beon remiriectcd, vu Joyfully yield oursvlvea In order llmt Uod be In all our thoughts. It Ih Zealous Science, "find redoenied us from all Iniquity and purlllcd unto himself a peculiar people, zenloua of good' worlca." Once we believed that awil would prove our MuihIIiik with Ood. Christian Science nhows that be cause redeemed, purified mid separated to God, Hln service would be the de lightful outcome. The Hlble thus demonstrates the practical excellence of Christian Sil ence, not only In the foivRolnp alpha bet, it 1 may rail It xiteh. but In these Klowlnp words of Jesus, as potent now ns when utered nineteen centuries nno: "I. If 1 be lifted up from the elitth, will draw all men unto me." He Is the "Way to (led. the Truth of !od, and the "Life In Hod. olid none can possibly eome to (led but b. 1 1 i I II . Theierore Truth could submit Its' Kmbodlment to be buffeted, and eiii to be eruelMed, totipclous that men cutilil not destroy 3Ilni. the niimlfestiillun of the Father's Tove. So w may submit that which is mortal to be ctitcillcd by Truth. It will not annihilate, but will uplift us. The stormy elements of time and sense In their conllitt result only In the clari fying of our perceptions of this uplift- inp Principle U Is" not c who uplift ourselves. Jt i that we rest, poised. n the umlcrstamlliiK of Clod, with faces pot like a llli'l. Zlonward. As once when mountain climbing In Hurope, over taken bv a terrific stoim, and In In stant peril or death. I crept for shelter under a projecltiic rock. 1 Kiizeil, shml ilprliifr, at the dark cliasm beneath. Spell-bound I looked tliioilKli the may vapor, swlrllim In tenipcstiiout torrents ihat all but sweiit me from my feet. Hmlilenly . I saw something moving! hilKe N'orwe;lan eaRle. with oiit Mtretehed wines wider than these ex leudlnti fliiuer-llps! It was facing the (IriviiiK storm and rising higher and higher, Willi no effort save to keen Its lng :,ied! Wine in Its instinct. It let (he slort.i It so bravely breasted, lift It abiivi the waning elements. So Hie Christian Scientist calmly resls up on the unilcistandlng that he Is spirit ual now. Amid the storm of eiror, he rents, jiolcei', conscious that the testi mony of the mateilal sense Is false, and that omnipotent, omnipresent, om niscient love lifts him to present om niscience where peace broodeth as a dove.! IT IS liUH.K SriKXCK 1 have proveiv to you that Christian Science is not only science, but Itible science. Christ's s-rleiue. Since such Is the fact, It follows that Christian Sci ence is the antipode of mesnierlHin or hypnotism. The Important announcement was made by Ur. Frank J. l.utz, former president of the state board of health of Missouri, that "lmynotism is the ause of many people becoming In sane." Dr. IutJS says that the effect of Hypnotism upon the nerves of the per son submltltng to a hypnotic test Is a great deal worse than the result of In cessant smoking, and even of the drink ing of absinthe. In K. C. Spltzlc. the specialist, says: "I feel called upon to pay that after extensive personal ob servation and much study, 1 am firmly convinced that whatever amount of good may come from hypnotism Is off set by the amount of harm which comes out of Its use lu medicine." 'While iJr. fi. Sternberg closes an able article on the subject of "Insanltv Caused by Hypnotism," with these tell ing words: "1 am convinced that if the bare truth could be generallv learned, the startling fact would come to light that the Insane asylums con tain a great number of inmates who would never have reached their portals had they not been started on the route by the use of hypnotism." On the oilier hand, there are those present who know of one brought straight out of the asylum for Chris tian Science treatment: in two weeks he was perfectly healed, and resumed Ills business as a traveler In the Jewelry trade. Age 35. and a perfect athlete in A Christmas Store, To Be Sure, But not in the accepted sense. You waste no time here searching for the exclusive and unique all are such. The same intelligent se lection that chooses "wearables" for all the days is used in the pro curing of '-gifty" things for the holidays. The counterpart of our display is not to be seen in this sec tion, for many are imported for this year's holiday selling. If you'll come we think you'll be convinced that your journey has amply paid for itself. There will be an econo my in shopping satisfaction that is not balanced by the mere eighty live cent railroad fare. The Holiday handkerchiefs You can buy these at home. True. You can buy handkerchiefs almost anywhere. You can buy them of peddlers. But here you buy with a positive guarantee no matter whether the price be ten cents or ten dollars that your purchase is ALL LINEN. That's our method nothing but pure linen flax in each handker chiefs sold as such a method that has built up a handkerchief busi ness so large that a thousand doz ens are here for you to hunt among for the sort you wish.

ISAAC LONG, 7!l una 76 INtbllo hiiintr. WILKKa-UAHHE. I'A. appearance, we received a letter recent ly In which he says: "When I get tired or am tempted, 1 take my little friend, 'Science nnd Health,' out of my pocket, and listen to what It says, and I soon get right and lest well." Here Ir a letter from nn asylum In a distant ptate. the medical superintend on t had said nothing could be done for the patient; and on the request being urged for Christian Science treatment, said: "Yes, that gentleman In New York tnnv do what he likes, I will not Interfere, It will do no good, she Is past doing anything for." Thank Hod, Chris tian Scleiviv demonstrated omnipotent and omnipresent truth, and she Is now perfectly yane. fUtAI'KS FKOJI THK QtTiBKN. The double event In London on Nov. 0 was the l'rhice of Wales' blithday. and the gorgeous pageant of the. lord mayor's show. At the lord nmyor'n dinner, the premier and other poli ticians make speeches, outlining the policy or the party In power, and as a token or the iiucen's gteat favor, grapest are sent to that table from the royal vine at Hampton Court Palace. These grapes are the most luscious In the world, and ate sometimes sent to th'j crowned heads of Europe by courier as an expiession of the tiueen's affection. Sometimes we have stood In that loyal vinery, wondering why the vine-dresser should clip off every one of its huge leaves and growing slips. It was that none of Its nutriment should go for anything but the formation of grapes. Inside that vinery every Inch of space was covered with royal purple grapes. Centuries! have panged since it began Its useful career as a slender sapling, planted beside the palace wall. It "truck root. Then, Instinctively, it reached out under the beautiful garden, and the high wall with Its deep founda tion, thence aeiws the paddock where the royal steeds are reared, and push ing farther, It went underneath the meadows where the cattle graze, until it Is found Imbedded beneath the con stantly flowing river Thames, whence It draws its vitality, which It converts into those splendid grapes! Thus, an unpretentious New Knglaud woman, a sincere seeker for the source of all good that which alone can sat isfy the lnsatlable desires of a humble, delicate, yet highly refined, truth-loving. Hod-honoring student delved be neath the flowery gardens of human praise, the thick walls of deep-rooted prejudice and dlllleulty, the paddocks of vain glory, and the meadows of anl mallty, and rested not until she reached the inexhaustible source of eternal vitality, the "pure Klver of the Water of Life, the streams whereof make glad the City of Hod." Suppose you were the roots of that vine! Would you be concerned nbout what was on the sur face? In the gardens, walls, founda tions, paddocks or meadows? Certain ly not! So long as you got to the whole river to supply your Insatiable thirst. Now. Jlary linker H. Kddy, by diligent, loving perseverance, reached that In finite Source, and has an understand ing "clear as crystal." It "proceeds from the Throne of Cod. and the Lamb" that I p. It emanates from Divine Love, to which we are reconciled by the "Lamb." which Indicates sacrifice. She. thus discovering our atonement with Our Father nnd Mother. (Sod, like the other "Mary," "pondered these things In her heart." until with her clear inidei standing she brought forth the Christ-truth to this age, as Impersonal Truth. This Christ-Truth is His sei -ond coming which Is mentioned and referred to In the Hlble over 300 times. In Paul's Kpistles he speaks about the return of our Lord fifty times. No doc trine lias suffered more from its friends than this one has. Some people say It means death. Hut Death Is our en emy. He has coniiucreil death, hell and the grave. Christ Is the Prince of Life. There Is no death where he is. Death flees at His coining. Dead bodies sprang to life when he touched them or spoke to them. His coining Is not death. Look at that account of the last hours with His disciples. What does He say to them? 'If I go away, "I will send death after you to bring you to me?' Not at all. He says, "I will come again and receive you unto my self." WHAT MUX LOOK FOK. As aforetime, the Israelites did not, or would not. recognize Him, because they were looking for a material king dom. So today men are looking for a material bodily manifestation which is forever done away with, for we are to see Him so I. t... in the fle."h no more forever. "In like manner," (that Is) "as Ho was blessing them. He was parted from them." He has come the second time, blessing, enveloping or baptizing us with Spirit, once for all. We read of Spirit assuming the bodily form of a dove and abiding on Jesnts. He so delighted to do God's will that Spirit was undisturbed, therefore "abode" on Him. He promised to send, and has sent Spirit to "abide with us forever." This absolutely disproves the error of the second personal coming. Hear the following plain statements, seven wonderful verses: First-"We shall never know Christ after the llesh any more forever." Second "He has sent Spirit to abide with us forever." Third In Christ, Truth, "dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, and we are complete In Him." Fourth Christ, Truth, hath "abol-is-hed death and brought life and Im mortality to light by the Gospel." Fifth That, "as He Is, so are we in this world." Sixth That "the same works that He did. and even greater (or fraught with greater seemlngdllllculty and at greater distance), "shall we do also." Seventh As we rise out of a seem ing selfhood apart from Hod, and see our atonement with God, we manifest that we "have the mind which was In Christ Jesus." We conscientiously declare that "Sci ence and Health, with Key to the Scrip tures," now In its one hundred and fifty-fifth thousand. Is seen to be fore told, as well as, its author, Mary Baker Kddy, In Revelation, x. She Is the "mighty angel" or God's highest thought to this age (verse I), giving us the spiritual Interpretation of the Bible In the "little book open" (verse 2). Thus wo prove that Christian Science Is the second coming of Christ, Truth, Spirit. An was promised, this Is the Spirit which should testify of the Truth. We glory in Its having been demonstrated to a sick and sinning people, by Spirit, through her. whom we do not worship, as some state, but whom we love, and call "Mother" the tenderest word in any language. Three years after her recovery from an Injurj pronounced fatal, she scached for the Great Cause of All Good. The further period of slx years was the furnace of patience, when, like a refiner of sliver, she pa tiently toiled to separate spurious mor tal thought from the priceless princi ple of Infinite Mind. This principle she discovered to be the solution of that problem, and a definite science, nnd, therefore, impressed It with the in siGnla "Science and Health, with Key to the Scriptures." Many have been healed by Its perusal alone, to my per sonal knowledge. Our Bible, "God'a Book on Wholeness." covera a history of 0,000 years concerning God nnd God's people. This hook declares God Ih Spirit and Father of us all. There Is not a chapter or a verse anywhere that stau-s or Implies that God Spirit was ever Slippers of All Sorts For Men, Women, Misses and Children. Prices from 49 Cents to $1.50. MVER DAVIDOW, sick, lame, blind, weak or had met with an accident, or had caught a cold. How can His child, made In "His Im ago and likeness," have any illusion fatten Itself on him. which could not fasten Itself on His Father, Ood? Wo have not to preach men out of hell, but to cast the hell of sick and evil thoughts out of men! Nor have wo to preach men Into Heaven, but the Heaven of God's thoughts of peace, health, happiness and the harmony of Heavenly conditions, Into the con sciousness of men! And we do It scien tifically! MUST ACCKPT THK 1JIHLK. Doubtless, you are frequently told that Christian Scientists deny the Bible. Instead of refuting that blessed Book, you will clearly see by the words In our first tenet that wo must nccopt the Bible before we can enter the ranks of Christian Scientists. That tenet Is as follows: "As adherents of Truth, we take the Scriptures for our guide to eternal life." Again, replying to the question. "Does the founder of Christian Science deny or despis1e the Bible?" let this speaker answer, as one of those Invited to be present last February to hear her, at her first appearance in her new church. Mrs. Kddy read the nlnety-llrut Psalm, without using glasses', said a Concord paper. "Her rich, dear, melodious voice served to the very best advantage to emphasize that beautiful passage of Setiiiture which she characterized as being the Pearl of the Psalter, and con taining more of mennlng than is con densed into so many words anywhere else In all literature, except In the Ser mon on the Mount by the great Gall lean. She made this Psalm her text and theme, nnd, tnklng It, passage by passage, exquisitely brought out Chris tian Science an applied to practical lite." WHKX THIS TIMK COMKS. Now, whosoever chooses to quit the so-called pleasures of sense, whosoever wishes to leave Its pains and sorrows, and deliberately decides to yield to the domination of the self-life no longer, shall "abide" under the shadow of the Almighty. When this thought becomes general In human consciousness, me thinks I see In that spiritual uplift the gathered Tribes, twelve times twelve thousand, Htnnd with solemn hush, as they realize In Its fullness that through the understanding of Absolute Truth they have 'awakened In His Likeness." The at-one-ment of God and His people Is perfected. When we fully under stand our at-one-ment with God, we can send up the shout, "A King Is In the Camp!" Truth is triumphant! For He says today. "AH power Is given un to Me in heaven anil lu earth." Why was this power ever curtailed or lost? Constantlne's union of church nnd state had the materializing effect upon the early Christians of depriving them of this power; for Gibbons History of Borne says It was exercised up to the close of the third century, when they not Infrequently raised the dead. Mortal mind ever strives to material ize spiritual truth, Good. It attempts to personalize Good and calls It God. Then It imagines that Good has an equal opposite, Evil, which It doilies and calls D'Kvll. This materialist In terpretation of whnt is spiritual is the cause or skepticism and infidelity. Mortal mind or ns our translation gives It, the carnal mind, Is a limited application of the word, mind Mother ham translates It "The mind of the flesh," which Is not simply antagon istic, hut as Paul declares, "Is enmity against God" Good. Spirit. Life, Truth. Love, "and Is not subject to the law of Hod. Good, neither Indeed can lie." Hence It Is that mortal mind assumes to counterfeit the All-Wise, truth, with Its opposite, fals-vhood; life, with Its antipode, death: and love, with Its sub terfuge, hate. Thus It did twenty cen turies ago. when It thought It had killed the Prince of Life. .Mortal mind cruci fied the perfect exponent of this triune principle, life, truth and line, nnd It would do It todav If It could. But the resurrection of Christ, truth, bursting the bonds of error, has ever liberated each and all Ihat will "icckon self in be dead indeed," and let Truth rise tri umphant over every manifestation of mortal f?nse.

Mortal sense must yield to Resurrected Truth! You ask why 1 declare this? Because mortal sense has not Intelli gence, and Is Incapable of Judging what Truth Is. Truth Is God, Unchanging and Kternal, We cannot possibly dem onstrate Truth untess wo have the spir itual sense. and have absolutely right relations with Truth,- Wo dishonor Truth. God, when we honor whnt Is un true, nnd, therefore, unlike God, Krror is Truth's opposite. We nnme It only in order to destroy It. Lovo Is the gov erning Principle. Mortal senFe is not Love. Love worketh no HI to Its neigh bor, but mortal sense Is the prolific source of nil human ill, which Truth alone can and does destroy.
