Chicago, Ill. (Third Church).—Introducing Dr. John M. Tutt, a Christian Science lecturer, to his audience, Mrs. Minnie H. Mundt spoke as follows:—

Mrs. Eddy, Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, writes in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 494), "Reason, rightly directed, serves to correct the errors of corporeal sense." When we reason from the standpoint of the all-power and the ever-presence of a loving God, we see in every human ill, in every complaint, nothing more than a misconception, a misunderstanding, of the actuality of Life, which is Spirit. In his epistle to the Galatians Paul sets forth several destructive mental conditions, such as hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, and so on, as "works of the flesh." He also names several corrective and constructive mental states, such as "love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance," as being "the fruit of the Spirit," or the effects of spiritual understanding. Christian Science, explaining divine, spiritual law in its application to the varying human needs, brings, indeed, the fruits of the Spirit, destroying the wants and woes of mankind, as thousands who have been healed can testify.
