The Lectures

The Broadway Theatre, the largest in New York City, on Sunday afternoon, March 3, contained an audience of upwards of twenty-four hundred persons, all deeply interested in a lecture on Christian Science.

John Carroll Lathrop, C.S.B., Second Reader, Second Reader, Second Church of Christ, Scientist, New York City, opened the afternoon exercises by reading a brief selection from the fifth chapter of Matthew, the Christian Science tenets, and two pertinent paragraphs on the restoration of Christian healing from the Christian Science text-book, at the close of which in a few words, he introduced Mr. Norton, who spoke for an hour and fifteen minutes on the primary teachings and works of Christian Science, as shown in its first third of a century's existence.

The lecture was given at a time in the history of the movement in the metropolis when public interest was conspicuously marked.
