AN ADDRESS ON
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Concluded from I'Jfre 3.
will take the haplo one in In r lol(t ,-irnn,
iiml with th.it "touch of nature, which mikes
the whole world kin," lilt iur up Into the urn
liine, the Rli.lno, the oflulRciit glory ot ie-
ueemcil womanhood.
IVt let it necr ho (orcotten that It wis a
womin, n failly sinninK hut swiftly repentant
woman, who luthod .leiui' feet with her tears
and wipeil them with the lulls ol hei lir.ul, and
ot wlifin the Saiour aM, "Mu Is most foi
ghen hccaiife she hath loved mo-.t."
Now, nit frirnds, If jou should a.k mo to (.tato
in a filnsle sentence what Christian Science i,
litlnit In the abiding lontiction aa I do tint
etiry breath I hate drawn for fifteen years I
owe ulwliitcl) to Christian Science, lot my home
nnd wife and thildien nnd lotc and hope, I owe
it all to Christian Science, and to In the plentl
tude of thii nne of gratitude I would answer
jour (ii(itlon by sajinR Chri-tian belmce is the
htar that kept liolj pu.ird otel the babe in tho
iniiuer. It .as the h.indilap of the mountains
when Jesus was born, it was the (sons ot the
tons of (".ol' when tho Patlour came into the
t.nrlil. It is love bv lote becotttn: it is hope
by hope lifted up. It Is sympathy by sjmpatfiy
iv. jki lidl.
It fparklcs in the tear of pity, nnd dwells on
the dimpled cheek of beauty. It exhales the
lute mid fraprame of the llotters and lellrcts
the splendor ot the Infinite. It is the sweet
tolte of tho great lotlni; (led speaking in the
i.nitcisal laiiKUJ-'f of hue and kuuln-s to tery
weary child of earth. May we not with wisdom
hearken to that toiec todj.t, sdtislied, satisfied
indeed with whatcter this world may hiing,
it h.ippll in the opctilnt spiel dors ot the other
we may heir it again, sajlig of each one of
in, and of all, we lote Thee, "Thence arc tliev
who hate conic up thiough great tribulation and
hate washed theii lobes and made thim white
in the blood of the Ijinib."
In the sublimity of Hut I roader and better
iillcghnce Into which the Science of Being leads
us, ever' good min and weman wilt he an in
tegral part of its glory, just as ctery blade of
grass, linpearled b the.' dews of heaten, lifts
its jeweled crest to kl's the dawn and to reflect
tho splendor of the rising sun.
As woman was last at the cross and first at
the sepulcher; as woman was the holy messen
ger to proclaim n risen, tiitimnlunt Sat lour,
so now, in the opening splendors of His king
dom on earth, a woman another Mary, Is the
bttrct messenger of "glad tidings" and
Her clear toiee is li"ard in the tan
Proclaiming the dawn, when all nations
Shall echo the (ileal Heart's pulsations,
And Ood be reflected iu nun.
She guards the Christ love in her keeping;
Uv her are the Chnstinas chimes rung;
She rekindles the tulc-lire's gloiy,
And all the world over, the slc.iy
Is written, and spoken and sung.
And all the world oier the people
Are spteadlng the blcslng abroid;
ie cleansing tli elepths of the fountain;
Are climbing tho heights of the mountain;
Arc waiting the coming ot Clod.
