Biblical Science

Application of the spiritual truths-contained in the Bible can enable mankind to meet today's problems in a practical way, Friedrich Preller of Berlin, Germany, told an audience here in a lunch-hour address recently.

On an extended tour as a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship, Mr Preller spoke under the auspices of the Christian Science Organization at V.U.W. His subject was "Chrisian Science: Its Healing Message for Men and Nations." He was introduced by a member of the organization, Mr D. R. Mummery.

By replacing blind belief with spiritual understanding of God, men and women are gaining new freedom from fear, worry, sickness, lack, and misfortune, Mr Preller declared. During the course of his lecture, he described healings through spiritual means alone of heart trouble, hip disease and the after-effects of accidents.

According to Christian Science, the basis for the solution of any problem, no matter what its nature, is the clear realization that cause and effect are to be found In God alone and that, therefore, good can never result in evil nor can God be the originator of sin, sickness and death.

Christian Science thoroughly emphasises the necessity for assimilating spiritual sense. Spiritual sense enlightens thought, and such enlightened thought includes spiritual understanding. This spiritual understanding reveals God to us in His true nature.

Footnote: After being badgered by at least four members of the Christian Science Society as to how the above article was to be written, or, as it seemed to Salient, how their propaganda should be put across, we decided not to give them the space we intended.

Salient makes it clear that it will accept no direction on how to report meetings open to all students, as this one was. The above supplied precis is printed out of courtesy to the lecturer and not out of courtesy to the members of the society, who did not seem to understand what the word meant.
