The Lectures

with contributions from Eleanor V. LeBlond

A very successful lecture was given here December 17 by Mr. Bicknell Young to a crowded house, over two thousand being present, and hundreds turned away who were unable to enter. Mr. Young was introduced by Mrs. Eleanor V. LeBlond, First Reader of the local church, who spoke in part as follows:—

My friends, despite cavil and criticism, Christian Science has come, and it is propelled by a power that the world is slow to recognize and acknowledge,—the power of divine Love. There is not a city or town in our broad land, and scarcely a village, that does not bear witness to the healing and saving power of this Science.

The Comforter has come, and in the best way, in the way of God's appointing; and shall we deprive ourselves of its manifold blessings, and question and quibble, simply because the helm of this great Ship has been placed in the gentle, tender, loving hands of a woman? To-day we are learning a new and truer sense of God. We are learning and demonstrating that God is Love. And is it strange, or should it be thought strange, that Love should speak to a weary and waiting world through this most fitting channel, through the pure, loving thought of a woman?
