MAY·2.·19J4 the inner prison and their feet made f~st in the stocks, but in that midDlg~t hour of persecution they sang Pr.atses to God, and that joyful, trtumphant statt of thought was instantly externalized in outward freeclom. For thPre is one thing that cannot be imprisoned, which no tyrant can confine, and that is a man's thoughts. You may place him in the lowest dungeon, but you cannot chain or confine his thinking. . Only he himself can do that. And this brings us to the discovery that we imprison ourselves, for we alone have the control of our own thinking, to limit or eiilarge it. If then the prison is mental. the way of escape must be mental also. It is plain that the only thing we have to change is our thou~ht. And this is where Christian Science comes in. It comes with the most comforting message in all the world for it tells us how to control ou~ thinking, how to enlarge our borders, how to set free our thoughts and "reak down ~"Very limitation that be~ets and confines us. Here some one may object. "But mv problem is one of circumstances. The change I need is a chanfle of circumstances rather than of thinking." My friend, it may sound a hard sayiag ut it is neverthe less true (and in reality it is supremely comforting), that the cir~umstanct;s we deplore are the result, an every anstance, of wrong thinkin~. not our thinking necessarily, but the 11 ~hinking possibly of our parents or mstructors which we have accepted as our own. And this is true because in reality it is our thinking that affects our environment and not our environment our thinking. Now these circumstances-and this is where the encouragement comes in-these circumstances can therefore be corrected and improved through improved thinking. There is a science of numbers, we are all agreed on that, and this science teaches the exact arrangement of numhers. Each figure must be in a certain order to work out the simplest problem correctly. We cannot scatter figures at random, and then expect a ri~ht result. Should there not be a sctence of thinking, to be worked out with the same exactness in order to reach a right solution? Christian Science teaches that this Science of Being or thinking is here and has a perfect Principle and rule by whi!h thoughts can be tested and ordererl and arranged, and by which every problem can be solved. Most people, if they examine their habits of thinking will find that their thoughts come and 8'0 in an entirely haphazard fashion. They are governed by no principle and are at the mercy of such interlopers as fear, depression, uncertainty, and the like. Now, unless we want to experience such conditions, we must eliminate such thinking and must replace it with- exact, positive, and progressive thinking.

First Church of Christ, Scientist, wn ··tt., ru., Christian Science Reading Room Pr. .lw Ne. 11 1111 ~ lecture on Christian Science was K..,_IJ · , deh.v ered on M<;mday evening, April 28, m the Masonrc Temple, Winnetka. The lecturer, Miss Lucia C. Coulson of London, England, member of th~ Board of Lectureship of The Mother Church, The First Church of Crist Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts' was introduced by Mrs. Ethel Campbell, second reader of Wilmette church, who said: Friends: It has long been the custom for First Church of Christ, Scientist, Wilmette, Illinois, to provide annually a tecture on Christian Science for its friends and neighbors in this community; and so tonight-on behalf of the members of that church-I bid you a most cordial welcome. This occasion is an especially joyous one for it might be designated a love feast, manifesting the bonds of fellowship between the Wilmette church and the newly organized First Church of Christ, Scientist, of Winnetka, Illinois, which brings to this village a visibfe expression of church such as our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, defines in our Manual: "The Chureh Universal and Triumphant" (p. 19). · We have assembled to hear a message of deliverance from sin, sickness, and death, entitled "Christian Science; The Liberator," by a member of the Board of Lectureship of the Motfier Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts. It is now my pleasure to present to you Miss Lucia C. Coulson, C. S., of London, England, who will now address you. Friends-Miss Coulson. Miss Coulson said in part: "The world is full of philosophies, theories, and religions, and it may ,well be asked what excuse Christian Science has to offer in adding to the number. The answer is the Christian Scien~e differs in one respect from all of them. It promises much and guarantees the fulfiilment of these promises now and here, but it also maintains that its every statement can be proved and must be proved by demot: tration. This is the foundation on which Christian Science standf, this is the hope it holds out to the race, this is its contribution to the ages. It has shown religion to be scientific. Its appeal is not to those who are satisfied, but to those who feel they are in need of comfort, encouragement, and healing. It has come in the language of Isaiah the Prophet "to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound." What is it to be in prison? It is, according to the dictionary, to be confined, and confinement in its turn is described as being placed within limits. Most of us, then, are in bondage to some form of limitation. We are in a prison of sickness, mabe, or of fear or of lack-lack of opportunity; la~k of harmony, lack of haopiness; and all prisoners, generally speaking have one thing in common. the longing to find a way out. Well, there is a way out, and I am here to present it to you. Now, it is quite certain that every Prison is mental. Sir Richard Lovelace, the Cavalier poet saw this centuries ago when he wrote :"Stone walls do not a prison make, Nor iron bars a cage : Minds innocent and oaiet take That for :~n hermita~re.· Tohn the Divine was confined on the Isle of Patmos. and it was solitary confinement at that, but few men have attained such a st~tte of ex:tltation and dominion as he did whtn he received the vision of the Apocalypse and saw t'be new heaven and the new earth and ruched the profound conviction that God would fndeed dwell with men, ·nd wloe all tears from their · eyes.
