THE LECTURES

with contributions from Albert M. Snook, Arthur C. Wakeley

That Aurora has a very considerable following of the Christian Science faith was evidenced by the large audience assembled in the People's Church last evening [May 10] to hear an address by Bliss Knapp. The speaker was introduced by Albert M. Snook, who said:—

The pleasant task of introducing the distinguished gentleman who is to address you this evening has been assigned to me, not because I am a Christian Scientist, but for the reason that as an outsider I recognize that Christian Scientists are doing a good work. Also, as editor of an American newspaper, I consider that I should be remiss in my duty did I not help to further the interests of Christian Science or any similar movement that is helping to uplift humanity. I speak not so much from an intimate knowledge of the tenets of the church, for I am frank to state that I have read comparatively little of the writings of the gifted Mrs. Eddy, but I draw my observation more from my daily association with people of the Christian Science faith and from the remarkable results of Christian Science teachings that so often come to my notice.

I hold that in these days of marvelous invention and revelations no thoughtful person can reasonably oppose anything that tends to benefit humanity. Our world keeps moving, and what may be a cult today is an accepted fact tomorrow. From my observations I know the Christian Science people are, as a whole, among the much loved and very loving and consistently lovable people. They must be and they are inspired by a great faith and uplifted by a great spiritual truth.—Aurora Beacon.
