THE LECTURES

with contributions from George L. Putnam, J. W. Sparks

Francis J. Fluno, M.D., lectured July 22 to a large audience in the Christian Science Hall. Dr. Fluno was introduced by George L. Putnam, Second Reader of the local church, who said,—

I feel that nothing could so thoroughly epitomize the spirit of our times or illustrate its breadth of mind better than this assemblage, for doubtless many of you know but little of Christian Science and are not favorably impressed with what you believe it to be; nevertheless you have come in a calm and judicial frame of mind to listen to a correct statement of this great Science that is now agitating the thinking world as it has not been agitated for nearly two thousand years.

The Jews of old gathered each week for centuries to read in the Scriptures of the healing and saving power of Jehovah, and how He had helped and healed His children through the consecrated ones of every age, but when Jesus the Christ walked in their midst proving the truth of these very Scriptures (not by argument nor by human reason, but by living witnesses), and proving it so conclusively that even the multitudes were compelled to see and believe that God was in fact the "Great Physician," the Father "who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases" (mental, moral, physical), still the Pharisees of his time were not convinced, but met it all with the scoffing remark, "This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils."
