THE LECTURES

with contributions from John D. Works, Mayor Hugo, Mr. Rose, Royal D. Stearns, William G. Ewing

Hon. Clarence A. Buskirk lectured on Christian Science at the Auditorium, Jan. 27. He was introduced by Judge John D. Works, former judge of the Supreme Court of California, who said:—

This occasion carries my memory back more than a quarter of a century, to the time when I first knew the lecturer of to-day. We were then residents of Indiana. I occupied the humble position of member of the legislature, he the more important and exalted one of Attorney General of the State. Neither of us had even so much as heard of Christian Science. Neither of us could have dreamed that twenty-seven years later we would be occupying a platform together, away out on the Pacific coast, advocating the claims of that religion on the intelligence and reason of mankind, and the claims of its Founder and Leader on the sympathy and gratitude of the human race for having brought it into the world.

We are here because this religion has appealed to us, and proved itself in our own personal experience. We feel it to be a solemn duty, as well as a great privilege, to bear public witness to its beneficent power to heal and save. There are thousands of others who have had like experiences and gladly bear similar witness. The world has been made better, and happier, and more contented by the teachings and practice of Christian Science, which are a revival of the teachings and practice of Jesus the Christ.
