The Lectures

with contributions from Henri Durand, Helen Dursma, J. Arthur Aiton

Lausanne, Switzerland (Society).—When introducing A. Hervey Bathurst, a Christian Science lecturer, to his audience, Henri Durand said in part:—

Christian Science is not a human invention, a system more or less idealistic, which practices suggestion or autosuggestion and seeks to save men from evil, finding in men themselves the means of doing so. Christian Science enables one to realize particularly the truth of the Christ: "Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world." Is not this man's greatest need? If so-called Christian people have not yet found the basis of peace, it must be that they have not yet found the Christ. The need, then, is for a better understanding of the work and teaching of Christ Jesus, and a repetition of his works to-day. The kingdom of God is not something to be looked for after death or in the future; it is an ever present reality to be established now on earth for all men, individually and collectively. This kingdom exists to-day, in consciousness. It is a state of thought wherein sin, sickness, and death lose their apparent power, giving place to the practical conception of a happy, harmonious, divine life,—in a word, life eternal.
