The Board of Lectureship

Alfred Farlow

Dear Editor:—I have desired for some time to say some things concerning the lectureship, but have hesitated because of a fear that it would have a semblance of soliciting patrons. Now that I am out of the Board of Lecturers I can speak with better grace.

No compulsory rule has been laid down that the Churches must have lectures, yet the lectureship exists as one of the institutions of the Mother Church, and was established by our beloved Leader, who has so wisely guided us all the way.

Strict obedience demands that the Churches give to the public this opportunity of gaining a true sense of Christian Science and its work. Pulpit and press have, to a considerable extent, given out an erroneous and a biased sense of Christian Science; and, in other ways, wrong impressions of it have been given, until the public lectures are needed to break down the prejudice which would rob the people of its benefits.
