The Lectures

Chicago, Ill. (Ninth Church).—Virgil O. Strickler, lecturer; introduced by Mrs. Martha Cohn, who said in part:—

Throughout the whole world to-day there is a great yearning for peace. Men are seeking above and beyond things material as they never sought before. Why? Because the mighty problems that shake the world to-day have not been solved; the evils that have beset human existence for ages have not been alleviated. Physical sciences, materia medica, the various theological creeds and doctrines, have not opened the door to freedom, nor have they brought to mankind the much desired peace. And yet our great Master said: "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

Christian Science occupies a unique position in the world to-day in that it differs wholly from all other systems or philosophies. Christian Science reestablishes the healing and redemptive Christianity of Jesus the Christ. It is indeed the promised Comforter. It is the dove that bears to all nations the olive branch of peace.
