MONDAY, APRIL 20. JUDGE CLIFFORD SMITH ON CHRISTIAN SCIENCE Delivered Interesting Address Before Large Number at the Tubman High School Yester -day P. M. Judge Clifford B. Smith, of Bos ton. delivered an able and interesting iddress at the Tubman High School uiditorium yesterday afternoon on Christian Science. There was a large lumber present. Judge Smith spoke, in part, as fol ows: Christian Science is a way of living tnd thinking that finds its chief in spiration. its perfect illustration, as .veil as its complete proof in the teach ing and example of Jesus. It re veals, awakens, and evelops the di vine possibilities that exist latently ■ :n everyone. It shows how (o throw iff the inabilities, the disabilities, anti the liabilities that have been imposed an ' men by ages of wrong thinking, too how to gain their true man hood. Tile aim of Christian Science is not • only to prepare people for a heavenly ■ hereafter, but to transform their pres- j ent experience into order and bar- I mony. It declares that heaven, or i harmony, is the present result of right i thinking and right doing; it is the I menial stale that always accompanies i the supremacy of truth and love in ! man. Its Object and Method. Christian Science changes its stu dents into better men and women, not only by giving them true motives pure desires, and absolute ideals, but by discovering to them the deceptive | nature of evil impulses and the source I raid power of good thoughts. In like | manner this Science equips its stu- i dents for the cure and prevention of I disease. It tenches them to analyze ! the conflicting elements of human j consciousness and to maintain the true I Sense of being against the false seui>'.: I of disorder, thus destroying the essen tial cause of disease and establish ing the conditions of health. So also the power of infinite mind, acting with true thoughts, or truth, is found to be available in every case of human need. As the psalmist said, “His truth shall be thy shield and buck ler.” Being compassionate, helpful, and spiritual, (his Science is Christian. Since it is methodical, and calls for exace knowledge, and is based on prin ciple, this Christianity is Science. Christian Science has now been taught and practised long enough for its effects to he observed in a very large number of cases. In this man ner a great quantity of evidence has accumulated to prove that its effects are exceedingly wholesome. Consis tently prastised, it is conducive to health, moral as well as physical, with a corresponding degree of happiness. Christian Science meets human needs; it does so in the way that promises to deliver humanity from the bondage of evil; and it proves tlial one person can aid another to gain his victory and freedom. Such being the case no one can afford to tie either misinformed or uninformed concerning its truth and value. , The Reason for a Church A reason for hostility to Christian Science which is oftencr felt than spoken is that Mrs. Eddy founded a new church; she added to the number * f churches; and members have with rawn from other churches to join lis one. Ther are two facts either of which U ght to put an end to hostility of jr -is sort at once and forever* The st of these facts is that 13 years •fipsed before Mrs. Eddy founded a ew church, and she did so then only ♦ because the non-receptive attitude of the then existing churches made a new church necessary so that Chris tian Science might be presented to the world. The other fact to which I have re ferred is this: The Church of Christ, Scientist, lias gained members as those who have come to Christian Science have gained a better life. There can he no just cause for of fense in this. It is the object of all churches, and none of them need feel a loss when a man finds in Christian Science what lie could not, or even did not, find elsewhere. Mrs. Eddy never sought a personal following. Throughout her work as the leader of a great religious move ment she consistently turned the at tention of Christian Scientists away from herself to the message that was spoken through her. Her aim and hope, as she often said, were to "quicken and increase the beneficial effects of Christianity” (Science and Health, p. 367; Miscellaneous Writ ings, p. 207). The spiritual vitality of her message is proved by what it lias already done; but this is only a foretaste of the benefits that will ac crue to humanity as this Science is more widely understood and practised. To the wise of this time Christian Science healing is the sign of man's complete dominion over evil. It signi fies that no ill or evil—no harmful event or condition—is either lawful or natural; none is inevitable; none but what can be overcome with the law and power of God. Christian Science simply makes practical the ideal of worship and service set forth by Isaiah; “To loose the hands of wick edness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke.” Christian Healing, A thoughtful reader of the New Testament, especially the historical parts of It, can find plenty of evi dence that the Christian religion, as practised by its Founder and the early Christians, included losing men and women from the bondage of disease. And though the greater part of the New Testament was written many years after the personal ministry of Jesus, there is nothing to indicate tligjsthe practise of healing had ceased; nor is any reason given why it should cease. On the contrary, It Is consist ently referred to as a continuing ser vice, and as distinctive or character istic of trts Christian ministry. Why did the practise of Christian healing cease? And why does anyone object to its revival? There is one answer to both of these questions; that is, the failure to see the principle, ar distinguished from the person, In fho work, and the tendency of human thought, even that which is religious, to cling to a materia! sense of ajl ?hlp«*. But for this, and the fears which are felt for other Interests, the Science of Christian healing would be welcomed universe lly. Spiritual Power. The mat-ral sens' m what is pos sible might gain :» !rv-.u: from some <f th.- developments In physics. Take for instance the Knowledge of power, it hnr increased In proportion as it has become less mato-lal.

Everyone knows that Buehu and 1 Juniper properly compounded is the best medicine for weak kidneys or j bladder. When the urine becomes 1 cloudy, the bladder irritated; when you have an unusual flow of urine, scalding, dribbling, straining or too frequent passage from the bladder— your head and hack aches —your ankles or eyelids are swollen, spots before the eyes, leg cramps, shortness of breath, sleeplessness and despond ency, dizzy spells, and if weather is had you have rheumatism, try the following: Get from any reliable druggist a good sized bottle of Stuart's i Buehu and Juniper Compound. Take | a spoonful after meals. Drink plent" ! of water. Drop the use of sugar and sweets. In a day or so your kidney - j wiil act fine and natural. Stuart’s | Buehu mixed with Juniper has beer, used for years to clean out impurities from the kidneys and bladder, also to neutralize the uric acids in the blood and urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending all kidney and bladder weakness and curing Diabetes. Stu art's Buehu and Juniper is a fine kid ney and bladder regulator and has helped thousands of sufferers when most every other medicine failed to help ur cure. Be sure it’s Stuart’s Bu chu and Juniper Compound. • sing to the point called steam, the knowledge of power increased a thou sand times. Becoming still less de pendent on what is palpable to the senses, getting to the point called electricity, the knowledge of power again multiplied times without num ber. These developments indicate states and stages of material belief, but as understanding forsakes matter for spirit tile progress is even greater, for we then come to the power of omnipotence, the power adequate to order the universe, thep ower of mind, whose law is available and sufficient for the preservation of men. Convincing Proofs. The original objection to Christian Science healing was a flat denial that it had occurred or could occur. Nnow that the cases or healing have be come numerous, either personal ob servation or the weight of testimony lias convinced most people, and the greater part of those who still hold out have chosen a difficult position They can say that they never have known a case of Christian Science healing only by refusing to accept the •statements of persons who would be regar'ed as worthy of belief on other subjects, or by insisting on some other explanation for effects which, in the ordinary course of reasoning, would be credited to Christian Science. When tile sequence of events is, first, a condition of ill health, then the employment of a remedial system, followed by the recovery of health credit is usually given to the curative agency so employed. This is the logi cal conclusion unless the agency is Chris an Science. In that case the inference immediately becomes differ ent, no evidence of a cure can bo seen, and it is held that the sufferer Just got well anyway, or there was noth ing (l) e matter with him. All of which means simply that those who contest the fact of Chris tian Science healing still regard it as incomprehensible. Perfectly Knowable. But. Christian Science healing is perfectly knowable; it is apprehended as fast as one gains the true sense of baj[ng and of what life includes. Witj) most people the chief difficul ty is »the distinction between what really is and a person’s concept of it. This ought not to be a stumbling point, for physical science and philosophy recognize such a distinction, although they do not solve the problem which they acknowledge. Thus, In a recent book on “The Problems of Philosophy" it is said that the one thing we know about any physical object is that it is not what it seems. Healing with Christian Science in volves the application to man of the distinction between a real object and the human sense of it; that is, the difference between the man of God’s creating and the human or mortal roncept of man. There are not two kinds of men, tlie one mortal, the other immortal. In the absolute truth of being there is only one kind of man, but in human belief there are many differing views of him. Whether man is mortal or immortal to you, depends on your way of think ing. To material sense man is mor tal, but to spiritual sense he is im mortal; and the absolutely spiritual element of human consciousness is all of it that is real or true. The knowl edge which knows is derived from principle; it i.; the spiritual reflection of the mind that is spirit, or God. Ther© Is no other true consciousness. NEVER MET. It was a very clever girl who re cently wrote this; I cannot praise, our rector’s eyes; I never saw his glance divine; He always shuts them when he prays, And when he preaches he shuts mine. —Ladies’ Home Journal.
