THE LECTURES

with contributions from O. A. Armfield, Clyde Smith, A. Hervey Bathurst, J. S. McCarty, W. L. Swan

At the Kramer Grand, Sept. 17, Frank H. Leonard lectured to a large audience on Christian Science. He was introduced by Mayor O. A. Armfield, who said in part, —

From the dreamers and advanced thinkers have come the great things of life — the dreams of yesterday are the successes of to-day. Mary Baker G. Eddy, the Founder of church, can be termed one of them. She has thought great thoughts; she has brought into every-day use great trughts; a great Principle has been demonstrated by her to be true. At times she has been condemned in strong words, but her dreams of yesterday are accepted as the great truths of to-day; they have been demonstrated and found good. The church founded by her has now been accepted by the world as an assured fact. Its progress has been rapid, its success is secure; it is now one of the fixed denominations of the future, and I feel safe in saying that it has a great future before it for success and usefulness to mankind. The fundamentals of religion are unchanging; they are the same to-day as they were when first given to the world centuries ago by the great Master. We have only discovered hidden truths in them, are only applying them in a more liberal spirit and interpreting them in a more rational way than has been done in the past; we now see in them more beauty than the past unfolded. — Correspondence.
