The Lectures

The doctrines of Christian Science were expounded to a large audience at the Lyceum Theatre, Friday evening, May, by Mrs. Annie M. Knott of Detroit, Mich., who is one of the pupils of Mrs. Eddy and speaks with authority. The gathering was one of high intelligence, and many well-known attorneys, teachers, and others of scholarly attainments were noted among the audience, which gave the speaker the closest attention. The preponderance of feminine listeners was noticeable.

W. G. Hollis, chairman of the Lecture Committee of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, of this city, presented the speaker, in the absence of Dr. Marion D. Shutter, who had been invited to make the introduction. The latter was compelled to be out of the city on account of business, but expressed his regrets in the form of a letter, in which he took occasion to bespeak a tolerant attitude for the Science. The letter, which was read to the audience and received with generous applause, is as follows :—

W. G. Hollis, Chairman Lecture Committee, First Church of Christ, Scientist, Minneapolis, Minn.
