Port Arthur, Ontario, Canada (First Church). Lecturer: Rev. Andrew J. Graham; introduced by Marshall M. Vance, who said:—

Persons approach the study of Christian Science for different reasons. Many are attracted by the bodily and mental healing it offers; others, finding no spiritual uplift in the socalled orthodox faiths, turn to Christian Science; still others have their own reasons. In my own case, when I married, my wife and her family had been deeply interested in this study for some twelve to fifteen years. I had no preconceived antipathy to Christian Science, but I was a skeptic concerning its value. I had to be shown. I have been shown. I have witnessed many physical healings, the latest having recently taken place. Our young daughter awoke one morning with all the outward manifestations of a severe cold. Christian Science work was taken up, and by evening all symptoms had disappeared. Christian healing is not a new thing, populr opinion notwithstanding. It is many centuries old; and the greatest practitioner of it was Christ Jesus. About three centuries after his time this knowledge was lost, and it remained for Mary Baker Eddy to rediscover it shortly after the middle of the last century.
