THE LECTURES

with contributions from G. J. Edgcumbe, C. W. Morrell, M. J. Sanders, John Stuart Coonley

Mr. Bicknell Young delivered a lecture at the Bell Opera House, Tuesday evening, Jan. 15. He was introduced by Dr. G. J. Edgcumbe, President of Benton Harbor College, who spoke as follows:—

It may appear strange to my numerous friends and acquaintances of so many years' standing that I, a Methodist of somewhat pronounced opinions, should thus identify myself with this movement, but I assure you that I do so with pleasure, because these people are Christians and proclaim their devotion to the teachings that Christ promulgated; they love and serve Him whom I as a Christian love and serve. They are Scientists, and science has ever been my favorite study. Further, I hope some glad day to greet in the land beyond the river, Methodists, Baptists, Congregationalists, Catholics, and every other Christ-loving people, and among them all I am sure I shall find many a Christian Scientist. We shall there forget the sects and recognize only brothers and sisters. On these grounds, then, I clasp hands with these people and with you, and shall listen with pleasure to the presentation of the fundamentals of Christian Science.—Correspondence.
