The Lectures

Concord, N. H. (First Church).—Prof. Hermann S. Hering, lecturer; introduced by the Hon. Arthur P. Morrill, speaker of the state House of Representatives, who said in part:—

It would be difficult to imagine a more appropriate place than this beautiful church in the city of Concord in which to listen to God's Word as interpreted by a follower of Mrs. Eddy. The name of this wonderful woman is known and honored throughout the civilized world, and our beloved city reaps a great and lasting benefit in the reflected glory of the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science.

It is well to pause from time to time and consider certain facts with which we are all familiar; so let us review for a moment some of the events in the life of Mrs. Eddy in connection with our home city. Mrs. Eddy was born in the neighboring town of Bow and spent many of the most fruitful of her mature years within our borders, having established a beautiful and sightly home at Pleasant View, which I hope will ever be a shrine for her loving admirers. How well we remember when, in years gone by, Mrs. Eddy on rare occasions would permit the word to go out that she would greet her friends for a few moments at Pleasant View. Special trains would crowd our railroad yards and the resources of our little city would be taxed almost beyond belief to care for our guests, the Christian Scientists from beyond our borders.
