Lecture of The Mother Church

Sue Harper Mims with contributions from Hermann S. Hering

The semi-annual lecture of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, Boston, Mass., was delivered by Mrs. Sue Harper Mims, C.S.D., of Atlanta, Ga., on Thursday evening, April 13. The audience filled Symphony Hall to its utmost capacity, and hundreds were unable to gain admission.

The lecturer was introduced by Prof. Hermann S. Hering, First Reader of The Mother Church, who spoke as follows:—

Friends:—On behalf of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, The Mother Church of the Christian Science denomination, it is my pleasure to extend to you a most cordial welcome to its semi-annual lecture. That Christian Science is a subject of marked interest is evidenced by your presence here to-night. Indeed there is no topic of such vital import to humanity as that of salvation from the bondage of sin, of disease, and of the discords of this life. The world, with its miseries, disappointments, and woes, is in dire need of something more than it has had, and Christian Science supplies that need through the Science of Christianity, which reveals the teaching and practice of Christ Jesus, the true Saviour of the world, to be applicable to-day in all their fulness and promise.
