The Lectures

with contributions from Arch N. Torbitt, Epha N. Hamilton, Olin N. Dunbar, Freemont Nye

Webster Groves, Mo. (First Church).—Arch N. Torbitt made the following introductory remarks at a Christian Science lecture by John W. Doorly:—

To-day, as never before, the world is restlessly searching for something higher and more nearly the truth than it now possesses. This is seen in the disturbed condition of international politics, in the increasing number and scope of civil and social organizations, and in the efforts of individuals to break the bonds of material limitations. Hitherto unquestioned material assumptions are being blasted every day. It is with joy that the Christian Scientist, from his mount of vision, beholds these steps away from matter, even though he knows how endless the search must be without the realization that there is an infinite, omnipotent, omnipresent Principle.

It is the desire to know more of this divine Principle, to get nearer to Truth, that makes it possible to receive from the Giver of all good that meat "which cometh down from heaven," to realize more of the presence of that Love who "healeth all thy diseases," thereby proving in our experience the allness of God, good, and the consequent nothingness, yea, the utter absence, of evil or inharmony.
