The Lectures

Boston, Mass. (The Mother Church).—William W. Porter, lecturer; introduced by Bicknell Young, who said in part:—

In this hour of human history, when the chaff is being sifted, and will undoubtedly through the unspeakably trying experiences of the times be more and more sifted from the true grain of individual and national character, Christian Science, a demonstrable, scientific religion, based upon the divine Principle of being, stands manifesting the calmness and strength that ever appertain to pure Christianity. From the fields, shops, mines, and shipyards, where the demands are such that men and women must show the greatest industry and energy; from the ships and trenches where boundless fortitude and courage are demanded of the soldiers and sailors, come a constantly increasing flood of testimonials gratefully acknowledging added ability and strength gained by many of these men and women through demonstrating Christianity, rather than merely believing in it.

That Christian Science heals disease which have formerly been considered incurable is no longer an open question, but this is not all of its beneficent mission. It binds up the broken-hearted, and so from the home and fireside, among all classes of society, may be heard the ever ascending and ever increasing song of thanksgiving for Christian Science and all the blessings of its comforting assurance, especially given to those who are called upon to part with father, son, or brother answering the call of patriotism and duty.
