Watertown, S. Dak. (First Church).—Introducing Mrs. Blanche K. Corby, a Christian Science lecturer, to her audience, Mrs. Mary E. Carle spoke as follows: —

One day when this church was under construction, I was standing by an opening, where, in the near future, a window was to be placed. While standing there, I heard voices. Looking down I saw three ladies passing, one of whom I had known many years. They were discussing their sense of Christian Science. One of them said, "It is time the City Council stopped this building going any further." For an instant resentment came up; then immediately a great wave of gratitude and love for the healing power of Christian Science came over me, and carried my thought back to the many years of suffering, darkness, and doubt out of which I had been lifted. I had the best medical care that could be procured for me through all these years, but to no avail. Physicians had said that my days were numbered. About this time Christian Science was presented to me. Through the earnest study of the Bible in conjunction with the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, I was entirely healed. Millions throughout the world to-day are turning to this truth that was taught by Christ Jesus nineteen hundred years ago.

New York, N. Y. (Fourth Church).—Introducing John J. Flinn, a Christian Science lecturer, to his audience, Miss L. Ivimy Gwalter spoke as follows:—

The purpose of these lectures might well be defined in the words of the first chapter of Isaiah, "Come now, and let us reason together." Many of us are familiar with the prophet's reasoning in the chapters which follow; his denunciations of materialism, and the blessings he promises to those who shall know God; that "the desert" — the barrenness, the loneliness, of human experience — "shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose;" that "the eyes of the blind shall be opened," "the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped," "the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing;" and to the sick that their "health shall spring forth speedily." Through many, many centuries humanity has looked upon these and similar promises — for the Bible is full of them — as a more or less Utopian vision, something vaguely pertaining to a possible heaven hereafter, but not practical for the griefs, the sicknesses, the failures, and the disappointments which now beset human experience. With the advent of Christian Science, however, a new hope has come to humanity. Christian Science is a religion of demonstration. It proclaims the availability of God, who is Love, and shows it to be mankind's great necessity to gain, and to apply to human affairs, a correct understanding of this available God of love. Thus it is through demonstration that we learn that such an understanding is the solution — indeed, the only solution — of humanity's woes; and thus also, through demonstration, we view those glowing promises of Isaiah in the light of present-day, practical fulfillment.

Hamilton, Bermuda (Society). — Introducing Clarence W. Chadwick, a Christian Science lecturer, to his audience, Mrs. Georgiana A. Talbotsaid in part: —

We know that we have found the "pearl of great price" mentioned in the Bible, and we wish to share the good news with you. I have proved in my own case that this reinstatement of Christian healing fulfills every promise and meets every need. For many years I was an invalid, spending much of my time in sanatoriums and undergoing many serious operations, until in sheer desperation I asked a Christian Science practitioner for help and was immediately benefited. Words fail to express my gratitude for the splendid health that has been mine for the past ten years through the constant study of the Scriptures and our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.

Ottawa, Ontario, Canada (First Church). — Ormond Higman made the following prefatory remarks at a Christian Science lecture by Miss Lucia C. Coulson: —

Students of the Bible are doubtless aware that from the days of the early prophets down to the disciples of the Master, the healings of the sick was coincident with the realization of the truth. In the eleventh chapter of Matthew's gospel we read that John the Baptist sent two of his disciples to Jesus to inquire of him if he were really the Christ. Did the Master in his reply dilate upon the doctrines, creeds, and ceremonies of a church and the phylacteries of a priesthood? No. He said: "Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached unto them."

In order to show that the teachings and practice of Christian Science are in strict accord with the teachings of the Bible, I wish to relate, very briefly, the facts connected with my own healing. Just thirty-four years ago, I was suffering from a disease which the medical doctors pronounced to be incurable. I had been under medical treatment for four years, but my condition had grown steadily worse, and finally the physician made it known that there was no hope of my recovery. In this the darkest hour of my experience the glorious light of Christian Science dawned upon our home. A Christian Scientist, a friend of the family, seeing my condition, offered to help me. This she did by prayer, as we are taught to pray in Christian Science. In two days the pain I had suffered for years left me, and in less than three weeks every symptom of the disease had disappeared. Down through the years since that time I have been abundantly blessed.
