The Lectures

with contributions from Bliss Knapp, Bertrice M. Parmenter, Olga Nielsen Kier, Ruby May Small, George Dixon

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS (The Mother Church).—When introducing Frank Bell, a Christian Science lecturer, to his audience, Bliss Knapp spoke as follows:—

The world is coming more and more to realize that the statements of Truth made by Christian Science are living and vital. Christ Jesus proved the vitality of his declarations by healing the sick and raising the dead. The healing ministry of Christian Science is to-day awakening thought to lay hold of those same truths. Christian Science explains how these vital truths, illuminating the thought of an invalid, are able to lift him from a sick bed into the realization of perfect health. These truths are essential to salvation. They arouse one as though awaking him out of sleep.

Instances have been known of those who were asleep and dreaming beginning to suspect in the dream that their experiences were but a dream. When that suspicion begins to appear, the awakening always follows. It is recorded that Jesus went to awaken Lazarus out of sleep, and by doing so, he overcame death. When the sick man begins to suspect, through the vitality of Christian truth, that his sickness is but the dream of matter, he will awaken out of it.
