Boston, U.S.A. (The Mother Church).—Charles I. Ohrenstein, lecturer; introduced by Bicknell Young, who said in part:—

The ancient question, "Am I my brother's keeper?" is being answered. Terrific experiences in war, and scarcely less trying ones in the effort to bring about peace, are showing mankind that the interests of universal humanity are the interests of the individual. There are no detached or detachable blessings. Paul said: "There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;" a statement rich in the assurance of that mutual helpfulness which springs from the recognition of the unity of all true being, as brought to light in Christian Science. We hear of new principles of equity and government, but there is only one Principle, because Mrs. Eddy's revelation of Christian Science shows incontrovertibly that God is Principle. All government and law must rest upon this one Principle, a fact strictly in consonance with Paul's inspired statement.

The divine Principle of all things has always been available, but only through Christian Science has its availableness been recognized. The world, turning to new and untried methods, finds itself in fear and trembling. For this reason a lecture on Christian Science at this time in The Mother Church is particularly opportune. It tends to lift thought to the altitude of Truth. It brings to light the naturalness of the fact reiterated by religion through all the centuries, that God governs the universe. In spite of all evidence to the contrary, Christian Science enables us to maintain and prove that fact in serence confidence and joy, not only in our own lives, but in behalf of mankind.
