Hugo, Oklahoma (First Church).

Lecturer: Dr. John M. Tutt; introduced by Mrs. Verna C. Sherwood, who said:—

Sometimes it is said that a man's religion is all right so long as he is sincere in his views. Surely sincerity is a commendable quality; but to hold sincerely to a wrong belief on any subject, particularly about God, is a great handicap to one's true understanding and progress. Mrs. Eddy says in the Preface to her work "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. vii): "The time for thinkers has come. Truth, independent of doctrines and time-honored systems, knocks at the portal of humanity. Contentment with the past and the cold conventionality of materialism are crumbling away. Ignorance of God is no longer the steppingstone to faith. The only guarantee of obedience is a right apprehension of Him whom to know aright is Life eternal." Numerous blessings have come to me through the study and application of Christian Science. Chief of these is a more satisfying concept of God, who, the Psalmist says, "forgiveth all thine iniquities" and "healeth all thy diseases." Many physical healings have been experienced, and many conditions of my life have been greatly improved through the little understanding I have of this great truth.
