THE LECTURES

with contributions from Minnie Maxfield Sands, Charles A. Dean, F. A. Mocatta

MORRISON, ILL.

Monday evening [Jan.10] the Auditorium was comfortably filled by an enthusiastic audience to hear Prof. Hermann S. Hering's clear exposition of the fundamentals of Christian Science. The speaker was introduced by Mrs. Minnie Maxfield Sands, First Reader of First Church of Christ, Scientist, of this city, who said in part,—

In the Bible we read this: "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.... For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh." "Understanding is a well-spring of life unto him that hath it." All mankind wants life and health. All mankind desires understanding of God, the author of all life, all being, the only creator and power. The religion aptly called Christian Science presents the demoustrable truth, wisdom, and understanding of God and His universe, including man, and in such a reasonable and logical manner that it appeals to little children and to men who may examine it on the highest plane of human comprehension. It appeals especially to men who are great enough to be humble, to perceive the real and act upon it, who are compassionate, helpful, truly kind and Christian.—Morrison Record.

NEW YORK, N. Y.

A lecture was given by Frank H. Leonard in the edifice of First Church of Christ, Scientist, Jan. 31, before a large audience, some two or three hundred people standing throughout the entire lecture. Mr. Leonard was introduced by Charles A. Dean, who said in part,—

Christian Science itself needs no introduction at this hour. It has come to this age and found the world ready for the practical, demonstrable Principle which it teaches, and now it is widely heralded throughout our own and foreign lands. Mrs. Eddy, its Discoverer and Founder, and the author of its text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," has made the following statement (p. 570): "Millions of unprejudiced minds—simple seekers for Truth, weary wanderers, athirst in the desert—are waiting and watching for rest and drink." As one of the means of reaching these ever increasing numbers and laying the foundation for their own further inquiry, the governing body, The Mother Church in Boston, has instituted a board of lectureship, and it is our privilege to have with us this evening a member of that board, one who by his own personal experience as well as by study and research is eminently qualified to expound his subject.

LONDON, ENG.

On Jan. 27 a crowd of nearly three thousand persons completely filled Queen's Hall and gave earnest and appreciative attention to a lecture on Christian Science by Bicknell Young, given under the auspices of Third Church of Christ, Scientist. The lecturer was introduced by Mrs. F. A. Mocatta, First Reader, who said in part,—

We are met here tonight to learn the truth about Christian Science, and to sweep away some of the cobwebs of misconception and misrepresentation which accumulate so thickly around this great subject. Christian Science has today unnumbered thousands of earnest adherents; men and women throughout the civilized world rejoice and are exceeding glad because of the health, because of the joy, because of the freedom they have found through Christian Science. Humanity is beginning to awake from its long dream of bondage in sin and sickness, and is reaching forth for perfection in all things. This age is beginning to appreciate and appropriate the treasures of divine Truth.—Correspondence.
