Los Angeles, Cal. (Second Church).—Mrs. Blanche K. Corby, lecturer; introduced by Archibald W. Edes, who said in part:—

Every system of religious teaching since the flood, save that of Christ Jesus, has been unable to free itself entirely from the mistaken belief that man and the universe consist of a mixture of matter and spirit. Christ Jesus alone plainly taught that Spirit was the only truth and reality, as, for instance, when he told the Samaritan woman, "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." Again in this age, after this pure Christ-teaching has been hidden from the world for nearly eighteen hundred years by materialism, it comes to mankind revealing itself as a pure Science expressed as Spiritually as human language is capable of, and again offering proofs of its divine origin by healing the sick as well as the sinning. This saving gospel is in this age called Christian Science, and through it religion is being uplifted from the dry rot of modern ecclesiasticism, and medicine from its superstitious beliefs in drugs and surgery.
