THE LECTURES

with contributions from Horace W. Shepherd, Douglas D. Baynes, W.H. Brown, Robert W. Foyle, George W. Foster

Frank H. Leonard delivered a lecture at Odd Fellows Hall on Tuesday evening, Jan. 3. He was introduced by Horace W. Shepherd, editor of the Altus Times, who said in part,—

Personality, while never having studied Christian Science or having made any investigation of its claims, I have been strongly attracted to it by the very spirit of hopefulness, cheerfulness, and the brotherly love which seems to actuate its devotees. Did you ever see a Scientist who was morose, complaining, rebellious, or at war with all his fellow-men? I never did. With this spirit in our hearts, and in this frame of mind, let us listen attentively to the speaker of the evening, resolved that if from his doctrine we can gain anything which will tend to help us on our rough and thorny path through life, if we can by our presence lend encouragement and sympathy and help to these friends of ours who are seeking to establish a new method of thought and life in our midst and to show us a "better and more excellent way," we certainly owe it to them to do so. Let us hear, and reason, and try to understand, and if we gain any of these helps and uplifts from the discourse of the evening, let us apply them in our own lives, and seek to emulate, so far as we consistently can, the efforts of our friends, through whose unselfish efforts we are permitted to assemble here this evening.—Correspondence.
