AGAINST ALL EVIL

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE IDEALS VISITING LECTURERS ADDRESS “As we are thus true to the precepts and practice of Christ Jesu* as they are exemplified by Christian Science, the words of Mrs. Eddy will be verified—“lntrepid, self-oblivious Protestents in a higher sense tharf ever before, let us meet and defeat the claims of sense and sin, regardless of the bans or clans pouring in their fire upon us ” With these words Mr. W. Stuart Booth, of Denver, Colorado, concludea an able and inspiring address on Christian Science in the Strand Theatre yesterday afternoon. Mr. Booth, who is touring New Zealand on behalf of the Christian Science organisation, arrived in Auckland on Friday. His first meeting was particularly well attended and the lectu F® received an ovation at the close of n» address. He was introduced by *l£. A. House. CONTINUING PROTEST After sketching, through hi^<> ri and Biblical characters, the protest against sin, sickness and dea 14 Mr. Booth said that the inspired teacnings of Science and Health constituted an irresistible protest against ance of God, against false God, and against mere blind beliei Christian Science definitely and repudiated the educated belief tna disease and discord were inevitable an were to be expected and prepared 1 • “Harmony in man is as beautiful as in music, and discord is unnatural, u * real,” he quoted. “Unlike medic practitioners who are taught to diseases in order to cure them, Cnr_ tian Scientists do not study discoros manifested as sickness, for exactly same reason that a. musician does study discords. . “Any honest doctor will acknowieog that the material body is governed . thought to a very large extenL if the mere human emotions wm have no principle at the back of tn and no law to govern and enl ° . them, seem to produce discord on body of the one who may accept express these emotions, think w must be the harmonising, stimulating, normalising and purifying effect 01 . activity of the spiritual ideas w “ originate in, proceed from, and exp Divine Mind, God, and which are tner»fore in harmony with Divine Prin P and are supported and enforced omnipotence.”

PRACTICE OF HEALING The lecturer continued that a wefl| known Bishop said recently ™ "Those who obey the laws of tianity are the only ones c^f Tho ae judging the ultimate truth of it. who criticised Christian Science those who had not understood, 0 *Va and applied the law of T ' sC j was preached and practised *>y Christ and which had been reins

by Christian Science. Thus Christian Science ? r ° against the erroneous teaching . man, God’s image, fell from bl= and harmonious state. The ia # sumption that man had fee ished the excuse and justificati all of mankind’s discords and a tions: whereas the truth that T& - oDf ever God’s perfect child or expr thog s denied, displaced and corrected discords and discrepancies.

BUSINESS PROBLEMS The application of Christian 1 to business problems was ae somewhat by Mr. Booth, who » Christian Science protested *> s any belief that tended to sense of the scope and applied God’s universal law of harmony* field of business, like any other**, human activity, certainly neea cl healing and harmonising in ® u h ii5 S inS God’s law of abundant good, ” ntr o correcting justice, and perfect , Mr. Booth will deliver his dress in the Town Ilall this eYOiw j
