The Lectures

with contributions from Leslie McAuliff, Robert H. Scott, James H. Plummer, F. B. Hamil, Brodie Hamilton

The Hon. Clarence A. Buskirk lectured on Christian Science to a large and appreciative audience. The introductory remarks by  Leslie McAuliff, editor of the Daily Recorder, were as follows: —

Friends, we are in the presence of truth. We have been in its presence since the world began. Truth today is more triumphant than ever before. Tomorrow it will shine clearer than today, and so on day after day. It is the way of truth to grow and grow and grow. It has lighted the world from the beginning, and our experience and our faith assure us that it will light it forever. It has always shone brighter at times, as men sought for it more or less earnestly. Men seek for some things they do not find; but no man ever failed in finding something of truth, providing he sought long and earnestly enough. To any man it will be given for the asking.

Truth is positive, not negative; active, not passive. It is quick to be accepted, but the human mind, like the shell-fish, is prone to close its portals to new truths, or rather to new expressions of old truths, for in reality there is no new truth, since divine Truth is eternal. It has always existed and always will exist. Likewise it is always present, all-seeing and all-powerful. It is God, and God is Love. Made in the image of God we are godly in the degree that we accept and live the truth; and in this same degree we are happy and useful instruments of the creator's will.
