The Lectures

with contributions from Charles B. Campbell, George R. Perley, Rev. Mr. Whitford

The large and interested audience at the Arcade Opera House, Thursday evening [March 30], listened to a scholarly lecture on Christian Science delivered by W. D. McCrackan of New York City. He was introduced by Attorney Charles B. Campbell, who said in part,—

One bright Sunday morning there came forth upon the air a beautiful chime. I listened, and as I listened I knew that this music was the sound, not of a single bell, but that it was the blending of the tones of many bells, and yet I knew that the tone of not one bell might be spared from that harmony. Each bell had an essential part, but the music was in the harmony of all the bells. This is the symphony those bells were playing, "Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee."

And in that harmony there was revealed this truth: We have been and are becoming conscious of a symphony in this world that is pleasing to us and is pleasing to God. It is the symphony of the religious creeds of men. ... One note in this symphony is Christian Science, and that note is producing, not discord, but sweeter music.
