Valparaiso, Ind. (First Church).—Clarence W. Chadwick, lecturer; introduced by John Boman, who said in part:—

The history of mankind is the story of an unending quest for truth. We have felt our way in the darkness. The mystery of our being, our life, our death, our destiny, is still quite insoluble. Mankind is, indeed, like Israel, engaged in a wearisome search for the promised land. Yet this persistent, almost tragic struggle for light has not been entirely unrewarded. There have been faint forebodings of a dawn in the east, stars of greater and lesser magnitude have penetrated the gloom, flashes of light have issued from the northland, from Olympus, from Sinai. The veil of the temple has been partially rent in twain, affording glimpses of the holy of holies within.

In this day of wrath and judgment the world is overwhelmed with misery and anguish. There was never such need for faith and hope and comfort. Christian Science comes with a message of faith for the troubled and doubting, of hope for the downcast and the faint-hearted, of comfort for the miserable and the sorrowing.
