Arnhem, Holland (Society).—Lecturer introduced by Major General F. van Hasselt, who said in part:—

I welcome you in this church edifice, in which we can receive you as guests of the Christian Science Society at Arnhem, through the kindness of the consistory of the Baptist community.

It is the first time in this city that a lecture on Christian Science will be delivered here, and some of you will perhaps ask, Why this lecture? Well, the aim thereof is to give more publicity to the fact that in the teaching of Christian Science there is nothing strange nor mysterious, but that it is the simple teaching of Christ Jesus applied to human needs, spiritual as well as material. The Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, had no other purpose than to restore the preaching of the whole gospel of Jesus, who before his ascension said: "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; ... they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." First, the spiritual purification, the casting out of devils; that is, of all that is wrong in human consciousness; then the reliance on our always being under God's protection; and finally the healing of our body and the supplying of all our needs—this is what Christian Science means to give.
