THE LECTURES

The subject of Christian Science was presented under the auspices of First Church of Christ, Scientist, at the Moore Theater, April 9, by Bliss Knapp. He was introduced by Oliver C. McGilvra, who said:—

The presence of this large audience is the best evidence we could have of the interest that is being taken in the search after truth. I have often marveled at the magnitude of the question propounded by Pilate to Jesus, namely, "What is truth?" Ever since then the thoughtful people of the world have been trying to answer that question. Naturally, for their answer, they have searched the inspired word of the Bible. While these searchers were wandering through a maze of darkness, with only here and there a ray of light, and while a waiting people marked time to the grand music of falling chains, struck from the limbs of helpless slaves, there stepped forth an American woman, holding in her hand a declaration for truth and against the bondage of sin, sickness, and death. This declaration we now know as "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," and the woman who presented it was the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy. I believe the world is growing better day by day, and that it will continue to grow better until at last we shall realize the omnipotence of an ever-present God.—Correspondence.
