The Lectures

Introductions to Lectures

with contributions from Myrtle Timmons Sutherland

Los Angeles, California (Ninth Church).

Lecturer: Richard J. Davis; introduced by Mrs. Myrtle Timmons Sutherland, who said:—

Probably most of us who live in this western hemisphere of our planet entertain a feeling of affection for Leif Ericson, Christopher Columbus, and those other early explorers who had the courage to keep sailing on and on, at the supposed risk of falling over the edge.

Many centuries before these physical explorers, there lived in the little provinence of Galilee the greatest spiritaul explorer the world has ever known, Christ Jesus. His exploration of the physical globe was slight. He journeyed back and forth on foot between Galilee and Judea in fulfillment of his mission of healing the sick and raising the dead. He explored the dark realm of death in order to prove its nothingness for us.

In our own time Mary Baker Eddy followed closely in the footsteps of Jesus as a great spiritual explorer. She discovered Christian Science. In the face of vast materialism she propounded the facts of the allness of Spirit and the nothingness of matter. On page 11 of her sermon "Christian Healing" she says, "Physics are yielding slowly to metaphysics; mortal mind rebels at its own boundaries; weary of matter, it would catch the meaning of Spirit." Christian Science lecturers come to us to help us catch the meaning of Spirit.
