Lecturer: Paul Stark Seeley; introduced by Mrs. Alice Perrin Baker, who said: —

In the seeming chaos of the material world today men and women are coming to a clearer realization than ever before that the spiritual truth taught in the Bible is the one sure foundation upon which to lean. Because of their great need a desire has been born, the desire to know more of God; and because of this need and this desire they have found God to be an actuality, in fact, the only reality.

Christian Scientists have been finding for many years a sure foundation, the actuality of the ever-presence of God. In many of their churches you will find displayed the quotation from the New Testament, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free;" and also, perhaps, the quotation form the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy (p. 494), "Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need." Christian Scientists have proved to their own satisfaction that these statements are demonstrably true; they have found the truth that does make free; they have found that their need is to understand more of God and of man in His image and likeness, and that divine Love, in supplying this understanding, has met and is meeting their every need. Christian Scientists can tell you, if you talk with them or if you come to their Wednesday evening meetings, of instances of sickness destroyed, of sight and hearing restored, of sorrow turned into joy, of poverty and limitation of every kind turned into an abundance of good and right activity, of weakness replaced by strength, and of hatred and fear replaced by love and peace. These and many other healings have been accomplished by their study of the Bible and its interpretation in Science and Health.
