The Lectures

with contributions from James A. Rice, James T. Shipman, M. Reinhart, Frederick W. Janvrin, Loring Trott

Clarence C. Eaton lectured on Christian Science at the Auditorium. He was introduced by ex-Mayor James A. Rice, who said in part,—

By asking one not allied with them to preside at this gathering, the members of the Christian Science church give additional evidence of their freedom from prejudice against those who are members of other religious organizations, or are members of no church at all. I am of the latter, but not because I have no religion or believe in no church. My conception of a true religion is one ever to live by, not merely to die by; and my conception of a church is an institution that develops our higher understanding and does not seek to prey upon our ignorance or instill fear within us.
