An Immense audience, which filled nearly every seat In orchestra and bal cony, gathered at the Grand Opera House Sunday afternoon at S o'clock to hear Frank H. Leonard, of Brook lyn. one of the most eminent Christian Scientists of America, deliver an ad dress on Christian Science. Mr. Leonard Is a member of the Christian Science board of lectureship of the First Church of Christ, Scien tist, of Boston, and his ability lecturer and his profound knowledge of the principles of his faith instructed er.d entertained his hearers throughout his discourse Sunday afternoon, Mr. Leonard was Introduced by F. L. Seely, publisher of The Georgian, who acid: . "I deem It an honor to be here to day—to be with people who look up and who walk In the sunshine. An em inent divine took me to task for con senting to participate In this service today, basing his criticism on the Idea that Scientists do not glorify Christ, but that they more or ,less dignify Mrs. Eddy. "My reply to him was that my wil lingness to accept your Invitation was because Scientists do glorify Christ and God, and that If some show an un. usual amount of love of Mrs. Eddy It Is the fault of the Individual and not of Christian Science." , Mr. Seely discussed briefly the prin ciples of Christian Science and declared that Its purpose Is not to supplant primitive Christianity, but to make It more' practical. In conclusion he said: • I. do not Indorse your faith. I may be enable to. You do not call me wrong: you do not Indorse mine—you may be beyond It. I bid you god- sjn ed.

Lots of local endorsements to prove this. James Armstrong, foundryman the L. A K. shops, living on Windsor St., Atlanta, Ga, says; "I have used Doan's Kidney Pills for backache nnd urinary trouble end have been greatly benefited. I suffered with my back for a number of years, the pain at times being so severe that I was obliged to lay off from work. The pain took all the strength out of my back and 1 was obliged to walk around all bent over. I had to grasp hold of something In or der to rise from a chair, and I cduld never tell when to expect sharp pierc ing twlngee. The kidney accretions ere Infrequent and were highly col ored. I used liniments on my back, applied mustard plasters until my back was one large blister, but nothing did me any good. I saw Doan’s Kidney Pills advertised and got a box at Bran- nen A Anthony'a atore at 102 Whitehall St., and SO Marietta St. I used them and noticed good results a short time later, so I continued taking them.

Mr. Seely then Introduced Mr. Leon ard. who spoke as follows: I believe no one can successfully analyze or present any subject to an other when his statements relative thereto nre based solely on an academic or theoretical knowledge of It. The burden of proof rests with the speaker, who con never speak with authority until he has made a personal demon stration of the principle governing any subject under discussion; and when he has done this his theoretical learning Is superseded by practical knowledge, and he is fitted to discuss that particular subject because he knows whereof he speaks. That there may be no misunder standing as to whether my knowledge of Christian Science la theoretical oi practical, I am going to give you a brief statement of my reason for accepting and adhering to It for more than twen. 15 Mvss bom with an Incurable organic disease that had made my life, up In the time I learned of Christian Science, ono of pain, feur and hopelessness, nnd I had reached the point In my existence where dissolution seemed certain. •'.Man's extremity Is God's opportuni ty.' 1 for, after having about three months' treatment from si Christian Science practitioner, my organic trou ble was entirely destroyed, nnd for the first time In my life I knew the Joy of health. That was In 1886, and from that day to this Christian fmlence, revealed to the world through Mra. Kddv, haa met every diseased condition ns It presented Itself to me, has de stroyed It and given me freedom. 1 am a Christian Scientist today because 1 have proved to my entire satisfaction that above all things else Christian Sci ence It both transcendency and prac tically the most precious of all the Good of which human consciousness mu conceive. It la from the standpoint of having proved Christian Science and Its eternal efficacy in removing and destroying "all the Ilia that flesh Is heir to," that I shall address you. Christian Science recognises nothing aa having reality that Is not eternal; I trust you will clearly understand when, In the course of my remarks, the real ity of anything Is questlonsd; I mesn thereby It Is not immutable and God like; Is to he overcome and destroyed, hence Is not eternal, therefore not real. Mrs. Eddy started the Investigation which led to the revelation of Christian Science, from the fundamental basis that God Is all In all. Starting from tilts basis disclosed the Principle which actuated Jesus the Christ and made possible his demonstrations of healing and the overcoming of the world, the flesh and the devil or evil, which were left by him for man's guidance In all ages. Doesn't Dtny Christ Many statements have been made that Christian Science denies God and the Christ. I don't believe In itatlstlcs In lectures, as a rule, but I know It will be Interesting Information to all to know that within the elx hundred pages of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” reference la made to God about twelve hundred times, and to Jesus the Christ about eight hun dred times, which Is an average of over three times to each page In the entire book. In every Instance the reference bring! out a more exalted thought rel ative to both God and Christ. In or der that you may know what Christian Science teaches that God and Christ are, I am going to read to you from the ALABASTINE The best of alt materials for tinting walla.

These definitions set at rest and question as to the exalted po sition In the teachings of Christian Science accorded to both God and Jeaus Christ. Another frequent statement Is that the Christian Scientists discard the Bible of Christianity and use In Its place "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," the Christian Science text book written by Mrs. Eddy. Noth ing could be more untrue, for the dis cernment of the "Spirit" of the "Word" which "Maketh alive,” and that Is what Christian Science Is, comes only as the result of constant study of the Bible with the aid of “Science and Health,” which Is what Its title Indicates, the “Key to the Scriptures."

At this point all slm. flarlty between Its teachings and those commonly nccepted cease, because Christian Science reveals to us God as "a very present help In trouble" now. without discriminating as to the kind of trouble; while the ordinary teach ings put off the promised help until an undcslred future after death, and even then for most of us makes It rath er doubtful. Christian Science teaches us to live nnd win, while theology has taught us wo had to die to win. Chrls- tlon Science teaches us what llfo Is and how to live It. and Is worthy the most exhaustive Investigation. God os a supposed creator of good and evil, of Life and death/Is not the Ood we Christian Scientists know, nor Is He the God of which the Inspired Scriptures teach us. The Bible tells us that God Is good, and that He In omnipotent, omniscient and omnipres ent, and the name yesterday, today and forever. This being true, that which He creates or does must he always the same and always good. How, then (to be logical), could He give Life and Life be good, and then give death and have ilenth be good? When Life was good what would beedmo of death, and when death was good what would be come of Life? Let us look at It from another point. Annihilate Each Other. If God created both Life and death, and they are a part of His finished ere. at Ion, and therefore as eternal as theli Creator, how can they both exist eter nally, when one Is as certainly the an> nlhltatton of the other aa light Is of darkness? Again, we are taught that the "wages of sin Is death;" If this Is true, then we have to admit that God, If He be the creator of death, la the creator of sin. You can not escape this con clusion by saying that He only permits sin, for to permit It He must know It. and how can He know It when the Bi ble teaches us "God Is of purer eyes than to behold evil and ran not look on Iniquity.’! The Christian Scientists have not yet renched the point where they have overcome the universal belief In death, nor have they yet reached the point where they cure every case brought to them, but. like the Prodigal Son, they have started on their Journey bock to their Father's house, nnd shall dis cern that haven of rest and be at peace In Hla sheltering Love. If Infinite Mind ever had for one instant an Idea, perception or cenceu' tlon of eln. In that very Instant It ceased to be absolutely sinless. You may as well assert that an Immovable object and an Irresistible force can oc cupy the same place at the same time; that love and hale, truth and a He. In telligence and non-Intelllgence are all synonymous, as to cling to the unseem ly belief that the good God creates, permits, sees or knows sin. God. after He finished His creative work, called It "very good” nnd rested. Look around you and see the misery, shame, zHshonesty, Immorality, degra dation and crime that mortal man Is steeped In. and tell me. Is It "very good?" Can you conceive of the Im mutable. good God, able to make His children to reflect Himself, looking down on such things and enjoying them? No. a thousand times, no; such a thing Is utterly Impossible. These things can not be clung to aa real, but ouside of and apart from Ood. for He Is omnipresent. Then we are forced to admit either that the Christian Science teaching as to the unreality of sin Is true, or else that God Is Infinitely bad. Is There No 8in? Is there no sin? Yes, as long as peo ple believe mi, and so long as they Indulge In the belief In It, they shall suffer for It, and there can be no hope of pardon ao long aa It la Indulged In. Christian Science teaches that Ihe only way to escape the penalty of aln la to atop tinning! When sin la aban doned and destroyed, there Is nothing left to be forgiven or suffered for and man Is free. HIn has no place In the divine creation. Is not of God and. In reality, does not exist. The great sin for which people suffer the belief in a power apart from God. God la the only Creator and. If aurh a power Alst, He must have cre ated It. If It Is true, and who will question It. that "A double minded man Is unstable in all his ways," what hope would there be for us In seeking salva. tlon If God be "double minded" and lias done this thing? He Is the same "yesterday, today and forever," and so this power. It It exists, must be the same "yesterday, today and forever," making of evil an eternal reality.

It le Impoaelble to reconcile all ’the many theorlea concerning God, and bring them Into one harmonloue whole, ■o long aa He le 'believed to be the creator of both good and evil. The world aeema unwilling to accept Chris tlan Science chiefly because It le differ, ent In practice and precept from the commonly accepted Ideae about God, even though It le the ftrat application of Jeaua' teachlnge, elnce He wan on earth, that haa healed the sick from a purely spiritual and. therefore, from a purely Good or Godly basis. There are In the world today nearly 150 different Christian sects. Don't you think this condition might well be called the modern Babel? . Looking at the history of Christian ity what do we find? That the world haa seen more brutality, criminal In genuity and fiendish torture perpe trated In the name of Christ than In aI1 Had Christians been obedient to the command, "Prove all things, hold fast that which Is good." no such record of sorrow, death and division would have been possible. There would be no one on earth goday who would hold the gen tle. loving Christ or God In aversion or contempt If It were not for the com monly accepted belief that God Is the creator of evil or permits It. This very teaching haa been the stumbling block to countless thousands, driving them to agnosticism and atheism. The fear of the Lord, which we must have. Is "the beginning of knowledge." and "the beginning of knowledge" la "to hate evil." Our existing bondage la the result of the "fear taught by the precepts of men," and we shall be free In propor tion as we refuse longer to submit to Its domination and begin to "hate evil." Christian Science hoe laid .the ax at the root of all evil belief and fear, by leaching us that God Is and there Is nothing else. It la teaching ua dally to more really and nearly know God, and to know that He Is the Mind that was In Christ, the God which Christ knew. As we know God as Mind, and all His creation to be In agreement with Him—aa we cast one aide the old man made beliefs about God—we pause In wonder that ao many ages could pass Cheney’s Expectorant cures coughs, colds, LaGrippe and croup. 50 years on the market. In Ihe worship of a man-llke God. No discovery was ever made by man until he was prepared for It, and the revelation, of Christian Science could not come until endeavor had turned actively Into the mental realm for cause; not cause that agreed with mut able things, but genuine, Immutable Cause that agrees with the "substance of things hoped for.” Revelation to Mrs. Eddy, The revelation of Christian Science came to Mrs. Eddy os the result of a life-time spent In continuous desire end search for the Spirit of the Word. Mrs. Eddy occupies a position unique In the history of the world. She stands alone In her chosen vocation as a re ligious reformer, as the advocate of that unqualified trust In God, that un swerving faith In His goodness, that absolute, unquestioning obedience to His commands, which demands of her such, a life of self-sacrifice, meekness and humility that she could never live cases of healing through reading the hook, the original testimonials In many of the cases being In the possession of the editor* of the "Christian Science Journal" and the "Christian Science Sentinel.” Do Not Worship Mrs. Eddy. We Christian Scientists do not wor ship Mrs. Eddy. We do love her, but with a love that has nothing personal In It, being based on a gratitude for freedom from mental, moral, and phys ical death, so great and so precious that words fall to fitly express It. We give Mrs. Eddy only the allegiance and devotion to which her ceaseless labor In mankind's behalf entitles her. We are absolutely obedient to her every teaching, because through her con tinuous demonstration for more than forty years, that Ood, reigns, the mys tery of the way of salvation has been removed and the glory of God again been made apparent to mankind.

Ever since 1866 Mrs. Eddy's life has been devoted to the revelation of salvation to mankind, and she has tolled and la bored to that end with a singleness of purpose that has plhced man In a po sition today where he can not avoid ■ cellxlng that her work Is inspired, and whore h? con not avoid the acceptance of Christian Science as the Spirit of the Word of Jesus portrayed. With the aid of the Word as revealed through "Science and Health," man kind Is learning how to overcome hate with love, selfishness with brotherll- ness. sickness with health, and death with Life. “Science and Health" brings to us a realisation of the Illimitable richness of the spiritual treasures of the Bible, and discloses the Blprit of the Word so that we know love for God to be Innete, and salvation Intrln-. sic In man. Because It Is doing this. It has proved Its right to be called the "Key to the Scriptures,” for Jesus said. ’By their fruits ye shall know them;" Instances almost without number are on record of people who have been healed of so-called Incurable diseases Just by the reading of thla bonk. Those hungering and thirsting after right eousness. not finding In the teachings commonly accepted the works that satisfy, have found In this book the living fulfillment of Christ’s promise. ?If ve shall ask anything in My name, I will do It.” and have been saved.
