The Lectures

Bicknell Young, who lectured on Christian Science, was introduced by Harry C. Burbridge, Ph.D., first reader, who said in part:—

Christian Science is to most people a new method of healing, and a very successful one. Others see in it a new religion. They too are correct, for it solves the perplexities of theology, casts away dogmas, satisfies the reason, and gives a faith that is shown by works. Some few see in Christian Science a philosophy, and that view also is right. It is a philosophy based upon absolute premises of properly sated syllogisms and properly drawn conclusions. Christian Science is truly a philosophy, a religion, and a healing method in one. To those who are beginning to comprehend it, it is this and more. It is to them the explanation and the knowledge of existence. It comes not destroying but transforming the universe, and answering the fundamental questions of being that mortals have ever been asking.—Palo Alto Times.
