Speaking on “Our God-given Courage," Christian Science
lecturer Edward G. Karst of Woodland Hills, Calif., draws a
distinction between "blind or animal courage” and
spiritual resolve and Christian conviction. ’ ’ The latter, says
Karst, transforms lives and opens the way to healing.
At the invitation of First Church of Christ, Scientist, in
Alvin, Karst will be speaking here at 2:30 p.m. Sunday at
the church at 713 S. Lee.
"Society today needs more individual effort, more
devotion, obedience, consecration and courage," says
Karst, although he points out that the contemporary
challenges of "spiritual and moral disintegration" are not
new. "Religious teaching throughout history has been
clouded with these same challenges" of materialism and
shifting moral values, he says.
Karst devotes a portion of the one-hour lecture to
discussing Jesus' Example of "spiritually-based courage"
to live and teach what he knew to be "in line with God's
law." In its deepest Christian sense, the speaker explains,
courage includes sincerity, integrity, consideration for —
one’s fellow man and a genuine desire to serve.”
Long active in the public healing practice of his religion,
Karst points out that Christian healing "is the result of
prayer and coming to understand God so clearly that we see
His all-power in out thoughts and lives."
A member of the local Christian Science congregation,
first reader Ann McCullum, will introduce Karst Sunday.
The lecture is open to the public without charge.
Subscribers on rural routes and in communities
outside of the Alvin area should call their carriers.
