THE LECTURES

with contributions from L. O. Richmond, James D. Sherwood of Houston, George S. Powell, S. D. Paine, Clifton J. Pratt

A splendid audience of more than one thousand persons greeted Mr. Edward A. Kimball at the City Opera House yesterday afternoon [Dec. 8] to hear his lecture on Christian Science. Mr. Kimball was introduced by Rev. L. O. Richmond, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, who said in part,—

The test of the water of life is to be found in what it does for the partaker. There are many people who profess to have received much good from Christian Science. Truth is large, and manifests itself in a most surprising variety of forms, and if any can find in that church the good which seems to elude them elsewhere, then I would say from the depths of my heart, "Go, and the Lord bless thee." There is much in Christian Science that I admire. There is much that I do not admire at all, but that is neither here nor there. As I stand before you to-day it is not as a sponsor nor as an advocate for Christian Science, but simply as one who, believing in the broad spirit of Christian fellowship, is simply trying to show that same spirit of courtesy that would be much appreciated by myself if I were trying to worship according to my conscience in a place where my way of worship was not in accordance with that of the majority.
