Introductions to Lectures

with contributions from Minnie Hawker, Elizabeth F. Waldron

London, England (Fourth Church).

Lecturer: John W. Doorly; introduced by Mrs. Minnie Hawker, who said:—

Seven years ago there came to visit me a friend whom I had not seen for many years; and we talked on the subject of religion. I did not understand one word he said concerning his religious views, but one thing I knew: whatever that religion was, it had transformed him. I found that he had been released from the bondage of an ungovernable temper, dullness of intellect, an unloving and unlovable nature, excessive fear of failure in business and in life, extreme poverty, wretchedness, and sickness. Is it surprising that I made up my mind to seek the truth which had made him free? I began to study Christian Science with never a thought of physical healing for myself, but out of curiosity and with the hope of laying hold of a most beautiful religion. With the gradual and radical change of thought, there has come about a betterment of every condition of my life generally. Spiritual sight and hearing have been bestowed on me, with the result that physical sight and hearing have been improved. I have been healed of the necessity of wearing glasses, and deafness has vanished. I have been raised to a life of activity and usefulness, whereas ten years ago I was held in bondage to weakness and fatigue. Words cannot describe the joy for the character healing which goes on day by day as I study and apply and endeavor to live this great truth.
