The Lectures

with contributions from George C. Ewing, Joanna Scott-Moncrieff, William P. McKenzie, Cornelia E. Hildebrand, Harry Klassen

Kansas City, Mo. (Second Church).—Introducing Miss Lucia C. Coulson, a Christian Science lecturer, to her audience, George C. Ewing made the following remarks:—

There comes a time in the experience of every individual when he realizes his own human frailty; and in this extremity he usually turns to a higher or divine power for solace and strength. Many who thus turn to God for help are disappointed in not receiving the aid sought, and naturally wonder why it has been withheld. In the book of Isaiah we find this lucid statement: "The Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear." Then it must be apparent that failure to receive divine help is due to a lack of that spiritual understanding which brings mankind into conscious relationship with God's power and presence. To-day we rejoice that through Christian Science we can lay hold of the divine power in time of need and find it an ever present help. Christian Science is the true mediator between God and man, and reanders the divine power available in times of sickness, sorrow, or distress.

Christian Science came into my life in a time of dire need. It found me in the depths of despondency and discouragement. It scattered the clouds of doubt and fear and let in the sunshine of faith and hope. It gave me a God whom I could love and revere. Christian Science has healed me of false appetites. It has restored me to health in times of sickness. It has comforted me when in sorrow. It has helped me in solving the problems of daily life. It has protected me in times of seeming danger; and has brought peace and joy into my life. What Christian Science has done for me and for thousands of others, it can do for each of you, and even more—if its teachings are rightly understood and applied. Humanity owes a great debt of gratitude to that noble woman, Mary Baker Eddy, who discovered the Science of Life and gave it to the world in its purity and simplicity.
