Compton, California (First Church).

Lecturer: Robert Stanley Ross; introduced by Harry R. Copeland, who said:—

In the Bible are recorded many healings which were brought about by purely spiritual means. Now all of these spiritual healings were Christian Science demonstration although the term "Christian Science" was not used at that time. For about three hundred years after the advent of our great Way-shower, Jesus, spiritual healing was carried on by his followers; but from that time it was practically lost to humanity until well past the middle of the nineteenth century. In the year 1866 Mary Baker Eddy as a result of her purity and consecrated study of the Scriptures penetrated the mists of materiality and discovered the scientific means by which Jesus, the prophets, and the apostles performed their so-called miracles. She named her discovery "Christian Science" and she defines it on the first page of her book "Rudimental Divine Science" as "the law of God, the law of good, interpreting and demonstrating the divine Principle and rule of universal harmony."
