THE LECTURES

with contributions from C. B. Burgess, Robert W. Foyle, Ottamar Hamele, Richard C. Jordan

The Hon. Clarence A. Buskirk lectured here on Christian Science April 6. He was introduced by C. B. Burgess, who said in part,—

At first received generally with indifference, then with ridicule, then with controversy and violent opposition and misrepresentation, but more recently with respect and even attempts at imitation, the mightily growing movement of Christian Science has quietly established itself more and more firmly in the thought of this age, until it is now widely recognized as a most important factor of modern life and progress. No religious movement can have such a strong, rapid, dignified growth, can so vitally and permanently change the hearts and lives of its adherents, which does not meet some elemental need of mankind. Christian Science meets the demand of the human mind, satiated with worldliness and materiality, for a more spiritual interpretation of life, in the only way in which it can ever be met, namely, by showing the possibility and the necessity of a truer understanding of the teachings and a more implicit obedience to the commands of Christ Jesus.—Correspondence.
