The Lectures

with contributions from Elting Alexander

Spring Valley, N. Y.—Lecturer introduced by Elting Alexander, who said in part:—

Christian Scientists are certain that they have gained some understanding of that truth which Jesus, the great Way-shower, taught and of which he spoke when he said, as recorded in the gospel of John, "If ye continue in my word ... ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

It is a perfectly fair and reasonable question for one to ask, "How can I be certain that this teaching is true?" Right here I would like to call your attention to a passage in the seventh chapter of Matthew, which is but one of many in which Jesus emphasized the fact that "by their fruits ye shall know them." It is recorded in the third chapter of James that no fountain can both "yield salt water and fresh," and it is also pointed out that olive berries do not grow on fig trees.
