Mr. CHADWICK, in the course of his address, said: In the evolution of human thinking it is becoming more and more evident that we live in a thought world.

It was in the year 1866 that Mrs. Eddy innds the all-important discovery that all enusation was Mind and every effect & mental phenomenon (Retrospec tion and Introspection, p. 24).

By Mind she means not the carnal or mortal mind which is enmity against God," but one infinite supreme creative governing intelligence of the universe, eternal and unchangeable.

Has anyone ever weard of a school of mathematics where mistakes in calcula tion are specialized to the exclusion of the rule of exactness which alone enables one to correct such mistakes ?.

Would a human parent be very liable to advise his child to make a special study of malice, envy, hatred and re- venge as a preliminary to understanding the nature of ever present diving Love?

Then why make an exception in the case of disease and insist that it alone among the errors of the human mind shall be feared. studied, investigated, classified, discussed, diagnosed and pub- lished broadcast in the attempt to ind health? Christian Science makes it very clear to the world that this is a very sure method of perpetuating disease and of eradicating one's true sense of health. Since this method has been in vogue diseases and dear have multiplied and suffering has increased.
