"Dr. John M. Tutt, C.S.B, of Kansas City. Member of the Board of Lectureship of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, delivered a lecture - on Christian Science entitled Christian Science: Progressive Christianity" under the auspices of First Church of Christ, Scientist, Hong Kong, in the Old Chamber of Commerce Room, City Hall, yesterday afternoon. The Lecturer was introduced by Mrs. Phyllis E. Greig, Member of the Church, who said:-

There is a saying of Jesus, the founder of Christianity, recorded in the 13th chapter of St. John's Gospel, which reads: "And I if I be lifted up from the earth, will

draw all men unto me.”

In this age Christian Science is lifting up the Christ from the earth, in order that all men may be drawn unto Him. And why should all men be drawn unto Him? Because He has said: "Cante unto ne all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest, And it is also written: "For I am the Lord that healeth thee (Deut. 18: 8).

flaw of "right action touching humanity, destroys the falsities of inertia, sloth, inaction, over-sötion, disease, failure, limitation, the whole mass of materially mental concaptions, only to bring to view the permanent structure of divine ly mental idens. It brings to the tired tailer the joy of achievement; it breaks the gloom of despair and discouragement with the radiance of hope and anticipation to the sleeper, it cries, " Awake!''; to the disheartened with hopeless eyes and helpless hands, it whispers, “Try again."

The spiritual law of action is op- posed to the lie of reaction, but laws at all because they advance always this law is victor over the the proposition of law that is not lie. Humanity atarts bravely to spiritual, and there can be none work out its problem. Early en such.

the human race, and Christianity Progress then, is legitimate to progressive, because man is pro- divine Principle or Mind, through perly under the government of spiritual or divinely mental laws. Such control must be true since there is in reality no other law than God's law, no other source of I first heard of Christian Science government than divine Principle

On one occasion, during the fluenza epidemic in Paris, in 1918, I was healed of a very severe at tack of that disease in twenty-four hours, and in three days there was no trace of my ever having been ill; and during that time I was working twelve to fourteen hours a day without interruption. Such instances of the efficacy of Chris tian Science can be attested by Christian Scientists all the world over to-day,

Now I will ask our lecturer, Dr. John M. Tutt, C.S.B.. Member of the Board of Lectureship of the Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, to tell you about this wonderful Science and ita practical application..

THE LECTURE.

The Lecturer spoke in part as

follows:-

The title of this lecture, Chris- tian Science: Progressive Chris tianity, does not imply a stricture or the religious belief of any one nor does it read out of the ranks of progressivism other denomina bious of the Christian roligion Nevertheless, upon this fact all can agree, that regardless of his denomination, an inactive, non-progressive Christianity is an anomaly, an impossibility. Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer of Christian Science and the inspired leader of the movement she found ed, apeaks to the point of progres sivism when she admonishes us: to bear in mind always that Christianity is not alone a gift, but that it is a growth Christ- ward." (The First Church of Christ, Scientist and Miscellany

eventuale in tent progress. What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world of material concepts and lose his spiritual sense of being, of achievement, of dominion? The psalmist answered that ques pion when he cried: "Except the ford build the house, they labour in vain that build it. A right apprehension of Spirit and of spiritual law is the beginning of human progress. Matter and its modes will never help us to realize divine Principle and its law. But in Christian Science we may take laws and by a process of reversal up, ode by one, so-called material arrive at spiritual law, every material hypothesis will be Thus found to represent falsely a law of God. The reversal of error with truth is a rule of progress.

Reaction "A Foe Of Progress... How well I remember that day in my college course when I at tended my first lecture on physics. The professor, whose eccentricities were traditional, after carefully surveying the new class, suddenly asked of me the question, "What

is the natural state of matter ?" Having been forewarned. I prudently replied, "Rest," where- apon triumphantly he shot back No such thing; it is motion!" Having thus accomplished my dis comfiture to the great delight of the class and himself, he proceed ed to elaborate, showing how mat- ter is made of atoms, which in their activity, their play one upon another, produce the varied manifestations we see. At no time. he explained, does a single atom ever come to but from the ocasoleas trict of countless particles in ent agitation arise the phenomena of light, heat, color, form, consistency and so forth He then laid down for us"what he termed the basic law of physics: For every action there is a reaction, equal in force and opposite in direction.

With great care builds an au- tomobile and immediately begins to expect it to wear out through the contending reaction of friction, heat, centrifugal and centripetal force.

Look where it may, there is no refuge for humanity in material theories. It is only when a man turns from the material to the spiritual that he begins to escape from the operation of the lie of reaction, with its train of destruc- tive effects and to find the law of frictionless, reactionless progress, with its products of health, har mony and achievement.
