The Lectures

with contributions from C. H. C., E. O. R., C. Henry Clark, Edwin O. Ropp

Under the auspices of First Church of Christ, Scientist, of San Diego, Cal., A. A. Sulcer, M.D., C.S.B., delivered a lecture Thursday evening, September 28, at Fisher Opera House, to a large and appreciative audience. The speaker took for his theme "The Science of Christian Science," handling the subject in a masterly and convincing manner, especially emphasizing its higher mission of cleansing from sin as well as the healing of merely physical ailments. The speaker was introduced by C. Henry Clark, First Reader of the church, who spoke as follows:—

Ladies and Gentlemen:— Your presence here to-night shows that the subject upon which the speaker will address us has met with enough consideration upon your part, to awaken a desire for more light upon it. It is for the purpose of meeting this sober inquiry with reliable information that able lecturers have been placed in the Field who are qualified to speak upon this subject.

It is but natural that grave errors should be entertained by many upon the subject of Christian Science, since their only knowledge of it in many instances has been obtained from those who without the slightest understanding of its true teaching have sought to ridicule and condemn it.
