MAN BUILDS WORLD BY THINKING INDIVIDUALLY

Pictures in Mind Represent Exactly What One Thinks, Says Kilpatrick To Phillips Brooks House

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

With the statement that "each of us makes his own individual world by his own individual thinking," William Duncan Kilpatrick, C.S.B., a member of the Board of Lectureship of the Mother Church, the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, opened a lecture last night in Phillips Brooks House. The lecture was given under the auspices of the Christian Science Organization of Harvard.

Mr. Kilpatrick likened individual thinking to the painting of a picture on canvas. He said:

"We paint into our pictures exactly what we hold in thought, and just as the artist changes his canvas by a stroke of the brush here and there . . . so each one of us may paint and regulate his own world and experiences for good by refusing to admit the carnal into thought and by tracing on his world canvas only those pure and exalting ideas which come from God."
