The Lectures

with contributions from Edward H. Hammond, Norman E. John

The genuineness of their belief that pneumonia and bad colds, as well as other diseases, have no real existence was fully demonstrated by the Christian Scientists yesterday, when upward of five hundred of them braved the furious downpour and waded the rushing torrents in the streets to listen to a lecture at Chase's Theatre. The speaker was Captain John F. Linscott, C.S.D.

Captain Linscott is an ex-Union soldier. He became interested in Christian Science some fifteen years ago and was converted to its teachings. He was a pioneer in the Christian Science movement in the West. For ten years before his adoption of the faith he was a friend of and co-worker with the late Miss Frances Willard, the former President of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, and was a lecturer in the temperance cause. At present he is First Reader in First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Washington, D.C. He is a scholarly and fluent speaker.

Mr. Edward H. Hammond, C.S.D., First Reader of First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Baltimore, introduced Captain Linscott and presided at the meeting.
