The Lectures

with contributions from H. Cornell Wilson, Julia B. Scott, T. E. Potterten, Talmage Jay Bast

A lecture on Christian Science was given in The First Church of Christ, Scientist, by Bliss Knapp, a member of the board of lectureship of The Mother Church. He was introduced by the first reader, H. Cornell Wilson, in the following words:—

Each year in passing gives greatly increased evidence that Christian Science is surely fulfilling its mission of healing sickness and destroying sin. By restoring to Christianity its lost element of spiritual healing, Christian Science is effectually holding up to the world's view the lesson taught by Jesus, of works rather than words. The demand for demonstration which this places upon the individual, requires an ever-increasing spiritual understanding and development. Through attempting to live up to this requirement of actually demonstrating the Christ, Truth, its followers are found having constant recourse to God and His law to adjust all the affairs of life; and mankind is rapidly learning of the glorious effects that come with this fuller reliance upon Him who is Love.

The lecture this evening furnishes another opportunity to lay hold of spiritual facts and enlarge our sense of God, by which means, in the words of St. Paul, "the creature . . . shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God."
