The Lectures

with contributions from Charles J. Adams, H. W. Hoyt, William McIntosh

An audience that filled to its utmost capacity the beautiful auditorium of First Church of Christ, Scientist, last evening [April 2], greeted the lecturer, Mr. Frank H. Leonard of Brooklyn, N. Y. The lecture was repeated the following evening at the same place. Mr. Charles J. Adams, a prominent business man of this city, introduced the lecturer as follows:—

The desire of every enlightened citizen is to be progressive. The command of "Forward—march" is ever sounding in our ears. Our eyes are constantly beholding the step forward of our brother, sister, or neighbor. We feel the inspiration of this advancing movement and realize the necessity ourselves of keeping pace witht the times. Every wellinformed person will give some consideration to that thought which appeals to his fellow-men, especially that thought which has been weighted in the balance and not found wanting. In considering such subject I believe you will agree with me that it is better to go to adherents rather than to its opponents.

We are here to-night to listen to a lecture on Christian Science. In an audience of this size we shall undoubtedly find diversity of opinion. There are those here with hearts full of gratitude for the benefits received through the study of this truth; there are those come to inquire and those also who have come to criticise. The various professions, religions, and social positions are represented. However separate our opinions are, we are united in the one verity that all are guided by the one Mind and seeking for the one Truth.
