THE LECTURES
A large and representative audience greeted Frank H. Leonard at the Grand Theater, Thursday evening [Oct. 20]. Judge E. C. Clark, who introduced the speaker, said,—
We are here assembled this evening for the purpose of listening to a lecture upon a subject recently referred to by an Episcopal clergyman as being "a jewel lost by the church and picked up by a woman." Personally, I am by inheritance and education a Presbyterian in religious belief, and of course adhere to that doctrine. Of the subject of Christian Science I know but little, never having given it any study or thought. However, there are some things that we learn without study or thought, from mere observation, and one of the things that I have learned from mere observation is that Christian Science has made some bad people good, and some good people better, and by so doing has commended itself to my favorable consideration. Whether Christian Science is in fact the true religion which Jesus Christ taught when on earth more than nineteen hundred years ago, as contended by the adherents of that faith, is a question that has long been and will continue to be one upon which human minds will not be a unit; but we must all agree, I think, that if everybody on earth were true Christian Scientists, we should have less use for warships, and indeed might thereby be enabled to close now and then a court house for want of business. We can truthfully say the world is better off that Christian Science has lived and thrived, whether we agree with its religious tenets or not.—Oswego Independent.
