THE LECTURES

with contributions from H. G. Pillsbury, John Ashcroft, Frederick Finch Strong, John F. Gaylor

Prof. Hermann S. Hering of Concord, N. H., appeared in a lecture on Christian Science at the Oliver Opera House Sunday afternoon [March 7]. The speaker, who was heard by a large audience, was introduced by John F. Gaylor of Mishawaka, who said in part,—

It is gratifying to the Scientists of South Bend and vicinity to see the increasing interest which is evident, not only here, but everywhere, in the teachings and practice of Christian Science. When, nineteen hundred years ago, Jesus stood before Pilate and had directed to him the question, "What is truth?" he listened to the most momentous question ever propounded by mortal man; and during the centuries which have elapsed since this question was so pointedly and so prominently launched upon human consciousness, hundreds, aye, thousands upon thousands of men have undertaken to answer. Today, all over this fair world, men are asking themselves and asking each other this same question, "What is truth?" For upon the answer to this question depends the freedom, the salvation of the races of men. Perhaps this question of the ages has come to you, and you hope here to find that which will answer it. Or it may be you desire merely to know something of the nature of the philosophy which has taken the name Christian Science, to learn what it has done or possibly may do for mankind; and the lecture this afternoon is designed to instruct you correctly upon this important matter.—South Bend Tribune.
