Bellingham, Wash . (First Church).—Dr. Walton Hubbard, lecturer; introduced by F. D. Yale, who said in part:—

There comes a time in the life of every one when a desire arises to know the truth about religious matters,—about God and man's relation to Him. The greatest teacher on this subject whom the world has ever known was Christ Jesus. Several hundred churches have been founded upon widely differing interpretations of his teachings, and on account of a lack of understanding, nearly all of them have ignored a very important part there relating to healing the sick. In 1866 Mrs. Eddy, peering beyond material forms and merely human opinions, discovered the truth which Jesus sought to convey, by interpreting his teachings spiritually, and proved the truth of her discovery by actually healing the sick, as Jesus did. She gave her discovery to the world under the name of Christian Science, resulting in countless benefits and blessings to humanity.—

Canton, Ohio (First Church).—Judge Samuel W. Greene, lecturer; introduced by Frank Engle, who said in part:—

Undoubtedly there is no word in the English language that has been more frequently used in the past few years than the word peace. During the recent conflict the world has been crying for peace, and has never before realized more clearly the need of a righteous peace, one that has no partnership with greed, hatred, injustice, or any other form of evil. The world is somewhat ready to consider the prophecy found in Isaiah: "They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." On page 188 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," the Christian Science textbook, our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, writes, "Passion, depraved appetites, dishonesty, envy, hatred, revenge ripen into action, only to pass from shame and woe to their final punishment." Christian Science reveals to us the remedy for every manifestation of sin that would rob us of the peace "which passeth all understanding."

Butte, Mont. (First Church).—John C. Lathrop, lecturer; introduced by F. C. Jaccard, who said in part:—

Christian Science is a new-old religion based on the teachings of Christ Jesus as explained and interpreted by Mrs. Eddy. It is indeed a return to primitive Christianity. It is a religion of life, not of death; of truth, not of error; of love, not of hate. It teaches the truth about God and man's relation to God, and this truth properly understood will enable one to heal the sick and to destroy sin. It is an important fact in Christian Science that this truth must be practiced, must be lived, before one can advance very far in the understanding and partake fully of its benefits.

Seattle, Wash. (Fourth Church).—Paul Stark Seeley, lecturer; introduced by William K. Sheldon, who said in part:—

Last Friday [September 12], recognizing that now as heretofore nations rely upon material preparedness for the protection of their governments, our hearts thrilled with patriotic pride at the imposing naval spectacle spread before our eyes, because we regard a navy at the present time as a preventive of war and an effective means of maintaining peace. On Saturday night many of us had the privilege of listening to the President of the United States, a man who has been called "a practical idealist," one who not only has visions of right and justice, but who strives to enact those visions into law, and who believes that the time has come when the aroused conscience of mankind, the moral sense of humanity, operating as law, can maintain peace and make war forever impossible. We who are assembled here this evening are to be told of a higher law, higher than material preparedness or moral sense, the law of spiritual supremacy, omnipotent and omnipresent, made available through the right understanding of what God is and what man is; an understanding which when discerned, apprehended, comprehended, and demonstrated, will bring peace on earth, good will to men, a law of righteousness, right-thinkingness, as sung by the psalmist, "Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth."

Fairbanks, Alaska (Society).—Charles I. Ohrenstein, lecturer; introduced by Guy B. Erwin, who said in part:—

It is my privilege to introduce one who has journeyed far, even within the shadow of the arctic circle, to bring to us the message of Christian Science, a religion which for over half a century has done so much for mankind in regenerating, inspiring, healing, and saving humanity; breaking down superstition, dogma, and fear; comforting the sorrowing, and reforming and restoring the sinner to a life of usefulness.

As our spiritual education or religion has largely been along material lines, it is hard to accept the truth of this Science without considerable resistance; but every one, I am sure, is willing to admit that if such inharmonies can be overcome through the understanding of spiritual power, it must be good, and not evil, that accomplishes the work. Now if Christian Science will do these things, and thousands of people are testifying to it daily, then the most important thing that can engage the attention of thinking men and women to-day is to gain that understanding.

Mountain Lakes, N. J. (Society).—The Rev. Andrew J. Graham, lecturer; introduced by Cuthbert K. Cooper, who said in part:—

We are living in a world of belief. Our beliefs are the products of our training, our education, our environments, our association, and our personal interests. We are controlled by our beliefs, whether they be right or wrong, until Truth comes to our rescue; even then we struggle until Principle forces the issue, and we are compelled at length to throw down the gauntlet and follow the leadings of Truth. The question, "What is truth?" is answered in Christian Science, and the answer is confirmed by demonstration. When demonstration enters the arena of conflicting thought, the tempest is stilled and there is a great calm. Having reached through demonstration the climax of our search, no other conclusion can be reached. I invite your attention to an exposition of Christian Science,—the most marvelous, the most dynamic system of therapeutics the world has ever known. Its therapeutics is not confined to physical disease only, but includes the entire phenomena of mortal existence.

Chicago, Ill. (Eleventh Church).—Dr. John M. Tutt, lecturer; introduced by Jacob Netter, who said in part:—

In the midst of the fear and the subtle clinging to self-love and self-will, which are the cause of the seeming unrest in governments, organizations, and business, and keep many of us from the full realization of the health, harmony, and joy that belong to all of God's children, Christian Science comes as the still, small voice of Truth crying in the wilderness, bidding us to stand still and know that there is no other power or presence than God. As this scientific fact is realized, all the mental conflicts arising from the belief in two powers will cease, as did the storm when Christ Jesus gave the command, "Peace, be still."

Charlevoix, Mich. (First Church).—The Rev. Andrew J. Graham, lecturer; introduced by Dr. F. H. Wilkinson, who said in part:—

Jesus said, "If ye continue in my word, ... ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Christian Science has brought into the world the truth about God and man and has proved that the so-called material law which seems to make men subject to sickness and sin, sorrow and suffering, is no law at all, but merely a false conception of law. When the truth is made known, this false law is seen to disappear. That this is the truth which makes men free from all these forms of error is being demonstrated by Christian Scientists in every corner of the globe.

Salmon, Idaho (Society).—John C. Lathrop, lecturer; introduced by Mrs. Florence McCormick, who said in part:—

In this our period of reconstruction the most crying need of the times is for a universal religion of love, a religion free from ritualistic doctrines and dogmas, a religion which recognizes the omnipotence of God and follows the teachings of Christ Jesus. Such a religion is Christian Science, and we who have experienced its blessings know that it is an ever present help in time of trouble.

Newport, R. I. (First Church).—John Randall Dunn, lecturer; introduced by George B. Austin, who said in part:—

Christian Science during the early years of its growth has been repeatedly before the tribunals of human opinion, being charged with being impractical, unorthodox, and without divine authority; but, as of old, there have been those who have counseled a spirit of charity and toleration toward it, and neither they nor the ones who have accepted its teaching have been disappointed. To-day it stands as the Science of religion, understood and demonstrated in all parts of the world, and has brought to its adherents health and newness of life, which is the rightful and true status of every individual who is willing to conform his life to the laws of divine Principle.
