East Aurora (N. Y.) Advertiser

The convention which has been in progress at the Roycroft for the past two weeks, closed on Sunday evening with a concert in the salon of the Inn. On Friday a large number walked a mile or so into the country and listened to a talk in one of "God's first temples." Apropos of the walk, Mr. Hubbard spoke somewhat upon the subject of good roads, and incidentally said: "I am not a Christian Scientist, but Mrs. Eddy, the Leader of the Christian Science movement, has not only done more good to humanity than any other person living, by abolishing fear and bringing happiness and health into thousands of lives, but also she has a fad, and that fad is good roads. Do you realize what good roads mean? They mean comfort, joy, peace, ease to one and all. To the farmer carting his produce to the market they mean a saving of his horse, his wagon, and his temper. The pedestrian is blessed, the rider, the driver, the automobilist, the children on their way to school,—they benefit, every one; and this woman has given thousands of dollars for good roads. If what she has done and is doing is a form of delusion, then the sooner we all begin to get some of these delusions, the better for us, for society at large, for mankind in general. This woman has blessed the world, has done more good than any other woman that has ever lived in the world, ancient or modern! She has abolished fear; so long as we are in bondage to fear we are sick. She says that God is on our side, and that therefore we have nothing to fear; and she proves it."
