The Lectures

with contributions from O. E. Flint, William H. Greenburg, F. J. Heavens, Charles W. King, Eds.

The Scriptural basis of Christian Science was the theme expounded in the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, last evening [May 10] by Judge Hanna of Colorado Springs, Col., U. S. A.

The announcement of the meeting had attracted several thousand people whose interest had been stimulated no doubt by the stories of healing which have been told recently in Manchester in connection with the new sect. Those visitors who went in the expectation of hearing more marvelous "testimonies" were disappointed. Judge Hanna gave an earnest but quite unsensational lecture. He was sympathetically listened to throughout.

Chief interest naturally attached to what he had to say about the healing of the sick. He pointed out that, coupled with Christ's command to his disciples to go into all the world and preach the gospel, was the injunction to heal the sick. The latter function, Christian Scientists maintained, was an essential part of the gospel of Jesus.
