The Lectures

with contributions from H. Cornell Wilson, Fremont E. Shurtleff, C. W. J. Tennant, Albert F. Gilmore, C. A. Stolberg

William R. Rathvon on Monday evening [Jan. 31] delivered a lecture on Christian Science in The Mother Church. H. Cornell Wilson, first reader, in introducing the lecturer said:—

Christian Science is indissolubly connected with the onward and upward development of mankind. It provides the scientific way by which Christianity will attain for humanity those ideals that have ever been its hope. Mrs. Eddy, who discovered and founded Christian Science, defined it as "the law of God, the law of good, interpreting and demonstrating the divine Principle and rule of universal harmony" (Rudimental Divine Science, p. 1).

That the Principle and rule of Christian Science apply directly and beneficially to all physical, mental, moral, and spiritual conditions of mankind, whenever and wherever this Principle and rule are obeyed, is a fact that needs no emphasis on my part. The benefits of Christian Science are becoming generally known, and they are increasingly impressive. These lectures make it possible for more people to have a correct conception of how Christian Science works, and why, thus extending the influence and advantage of right, spiritual thinking.—The Christian Science Monitor.
