The Lectures

with contributions from Henrietta E. Chanfrau, Carol Norton, Hattie E. Graybill, County Attorney Mathwig, Ella H. Doty

Sunday afternoon, October 21, Judge Joseph R. Clarkson, C.S.B., of Omaha, Neb., delivered a lecture on "Christian Science is the Kingdom of Heaven at Hand," to a large and appreciative audience in Horticultural Hall, Philadelphia, Pa. It was estimated that sixty-five per cent of the audience were men.

Judge Clarkson was introduced by Carol Norton, C.S.D., of New York City, who spoke in part as follows:—

The dearest theme known to the heart of universal humanity is the one chosen by the lecturer of the afternoon as the subject of his lecture. The kingdom of heaven is of necessity one of two things: the greatest and most widespread delusion of the ages, or the universal fact of true being. This kingdom, or condition, must of necessity include both a state and its phenomenal expression in place. Christian Science teaches that the kingdom of heaven signifies the reign of harmony. The entrance gates to this kingdom are at hand. The way into this kingdom is not perceived by personal sense, neither is it discenred through materialistic observation.
