Rowell of Kansas City, Mo., Speaks at First Church of Christ. A lecture on Christian Science, "On Earth Peace, Good Will Toward Men,’’ was delivered last evening in First Church of Christ, Scientist, tty James G. Rowell, C. S. B.. of Kansas City, Mo. Mr. Rowell is a member of the Board of Lectureship of the Mother Church, the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston. He was intro duced by Bernard C. Duncan, first reader of First Church, which spon sored this lecture. The lecturer said in part: "The desire that the will of God prevail is a form of true prayer. Striving to let that Mind be in us which was in Christ Jesus is true Christian prayer. Abiding in Truth and practicing It daily in our lives will bring to us our heritage of peace. Jesus' sublime humility was voiced, as explained in our text book (‘Science and Health,’ page 33), as ‘ “Not my will, but Thine, be done"—that is. Let not the flesh, but the Spirit, be represented in me.’ This renunciation of all allegiance to human will led Jesus to victory over death itself—to the enjoyment of that ppace which 1s life •temal. ‘‘We must pray, watch and work for peace, but we must do this scien tifically. We must realize that the peace of God is a reality, the presence of which can be. indeed must be, proved by each one of us. This divine peace is not concealed from spiritual sense, for as we watch, work and pray for spiritual understanding we are enabled to see more clearly God’s will done on earth—His omnipotence and omnipresence proved—His peace, our peace. "Peace is individual. It is possible for each one of us to be at peace here and now. Peace seems to the human mind to depend upon others —what they say or do, how they act. In truth, our individual peace really results from divine science, the law or good will of God demonstrated in our individual thinking and acting. Each one of us is responsible for his own peace, for his own manifesta tion or demonstration of the will of good, of God. We must accept this responsibility to see and to do God’s will for ourselves. Christian Science reveals to each one of us how to work out his own salvation, his peace.” VORHEES TO SPEAK Stephen Vorhees. chairman of the Board of Design for the 1939 New York World's Fair and president of the board of the American Institute of Architects, will address the Na tional Capital Display Club at its regular meeting at 8.15 p.m. next Wednesday at the Mayflower Hotel.
