Lectures

with contributions from Reuben Whitaker, Albert Metcalf, A. W. Paine

The Rev. Arthur Reeves Vosburgh, C.S.B., of Rochester, N. Y., lectured in First Church of Christ, Scientist, New York City, on Thursday evening, March 16, 1899; the students, and members of the church giving up the large auditorium to the visitors, who came to hear what Christian Science is. The audience completely filled the house, and chairs were in requisition on the side aisles. As soon as all who could be accommodated had been seated, at the request of Mrs. P. J. Leonard, C.S.D., First Reader, of First Church of Christ, Scientist, of Brooklyn, N. Y., the meeting was opened with the hymn entitled, "Saw ye my Saviour," by Rev. Mary Baker G. Eddy. Mrs. Augusta E. Stetson, C.S.D., First Reader of First Church of Christ, Scientist, New York City, introduced Mr. Albert Metcalf, of Boston, who presented the lecturer in the following happy manner:—

Friends: I think that no words in any language, are claiming more attention today, than the words "Christian Science," and yet the great majority of those who have heard, or who use those words, have but an indistinct knowledge and understanding of their full import.

We are gathered here this evening for the purpose of gaining further knowledge of the grand subject represented by those words.
