THE LECTURES

with contributions from C. J. Adams, William Marble, F. S. Willbur, Robert Whitaker

At the Colonial Hall Saturday night [Oct. 2] Bliss Knapp of Boston delivered a fine lecture on Christian Science. The speaker was introduced by C. J. Adams of Toledo, who said, —

If all men were a unit as to what truth is, the problem of life would be solved. But, ever since the serpent in the garden of Eden whispered, "Ye shall be as gods," opinions have differed, and contention, strife, envy, jealousy, and hatred have swayed mankind and caused much discord, distress, and suffering, and mortal thought has been constantly seeking for material means to correct these material conditions.

On the other hand, the purpose of Truth throughout the ages has been to harmonize thought and bring mortals back to the one God, the creator and Father of all good. Moses, Elisha, David, Daniel, and Jesus all taught and demonstrated the power of the eternal, ever-present God, Spirit, to overcome the material with the spiritual. The old, old story is always new, for we daily find additional proof that divine Love is ever ready to help us — yes, and commands us to be not overcome of evil, but to overcome evil with good. It is because the power of divine Love has overcome sin and sickness that we are here tonight to have an authorized representative of the Christian Science board of lectureship tell some of the teachings of Christian Science and explain some questions which have been such stumbling-blocks to the general public.
