The Lectures

with contributions from Elisha B. Seeley, Courtland Butler, E. C. Stevens, Edgar K. Betts

A large and intelligent audience greeted Bicknell Young of Chicago, in Fauntleroy Hall, last evening [October 14], the occasion being the semi-annual lecture on Christian Science, under the auspices of First Church of Christ, Scientist, Roxbury. The remarks of the able and forceful speaker were listened to with the closest attention throughout. He was introduced by Elisha B. Seeley, chairman of the church, in part as follows:—

Friends:—It is a generally admitted truth that throughout the ages man has universally believed in a Supreme Being. Men have differed widely as to His nature, individuality, habitation, and accessibility, yet above all skepticism and infidelity is the unfaltering belief that God is.

As an earnest of this belief in God, there is also the conviction that though man seems to be a creature of chance and change, it ought not so to be, and that at-one-ment between God and man which should enable him to approach his heavenly Father with even greater assurance of His willingness and ability to supply every need, than could possibly result from a similar attitude toward an earthly parent.
