In introducing William D. McCrackan, M.A., who lectured at Fifth Church on the subject of Christian Science, John S. Coonley said:—

Among the many admonitions that come to us from the Bible, none is more important than that which St. Paul gave us in his epistle to the Philippians, when he said, "Work out your own salvation." From that day to this there has scarcely a person lived who has not endeavored to follow out this command. But how to do this has been the great and apparently unanswerable question. In the cycles of time one did appear whose spiritual perception was big enough and keen enough to apprehend the way of salvation as taught and practised by Christ Jesus; and in our text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mrs. Eddy has set forth these spiritual laws so that any one who honestly desires may study, assimilate, and apply them, and immediately see the results in more abundant health, greater happiness, and a more courageous outlook on life.

We are privileged this evening to listen to one who speaks on the subject of Christian Science with authority. By reason of what is said here this evening, some measure of fear, discouragement, or whatever it is that seems to bind or burden, will be lifted from each heart, and we shall go forth with a greater assurance of the ever-presence of God and of His availability.—Correspondence.
