THE LECTURES

with contributions from Major Fisher, Sue H. Mims

Bicknell Young lectured for First Church of Christ, Scientist, on Tuesday evening, Feb. 28, in Rathmines Town Hall. He was introduced by Major Fisher, army service corps, who said:—

The stupendous importance of the subject of the lecture to which we are to have the pleasure of listening this evening merits the earnest attention, not only of every person in this room, but of every thinking man and woman the world over. I use the word "stupendous" advisedly, for how else can one fitly describe a religion which claims that the correct understanding and application of its teachings will eventually eradicate the troubles to which humanity is now in bondage. In proof of its statements, hundreds of thousands of people in every quarter of the globe are joyfully testifying to the spiritual and physical regeneration which they have already experienced as the result of Christian Science.

I myself am a living example of the power of Christian Science to heal. After having been twice invalided by a military board of doctors, once from South Africa after the war, and once subsequently from Ceylon, where I had gone to escape the cold of an English winter, I was healed of threatening consumption by a Christian Science practitioner here in this city of Dublin. That took place seven years ago, and since that date I have never been laid up for a single hour, though I have soldiered for nearly four years in the British Isles and three years in Hong Kong. I have never had recourse to a single drug or stimulant, and every ailment which has presented itself has been completely overcome by Christian Science. I have seen a severe attack of malarial fever entirely healed in an incredibly short space of time, a result which could not be produced by any other curative agency in the world.
