Having read in the Sentinel of March 2, the just rebuke to Branch Churches for their failure to call a member of the Board of Lectureship, reminds me that no notice was sent of the lecture in Portland. Rev. Wm. p. McKenzie, C. S. B., of Boston, Mass., delivered a lecture, the 30th of last November in the Y. M. C. A. hall, under the auspices of both Christian Science churches of this city. The hall, with seating capacity of about six hundred, was almost entirely filled. The discourse was indeed helpful and uplifting; the subject being, "Christian Science, what it is, and what it does."

I would like to mention two demonstrations, where the healing was done without any special effort to treat the individuals; but by simply denying the existence of the error, and realizing the presence of God, Good.

A Scientist called at the home of a lady who was suffering severely from erysipelas in the face. At this time patches of red were quite prominent. The practitioner talked to the lady about Christian Science, what it was, and what it would do, and then went home. Once or twice afterward, the disease presented itself to the thought of the Scientist, but its reality was denied, as before, and thus dismissed from thought. It was afterward learned that the morning following the visit, the disease had disappeared.
