Giving Christian Science Lectures

A Christian Science lecture is one of the ways provided by our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, for letting our neighbors and friends know of the healing power of Truth. When branch church members look upon our lectures as opportunities to share their religion with others, they are led to prepare for them in the most intelligent and effective manner. The following instances indicate the loving thought and earnest preparation which assure healing results.

Good metaphysical support contributed to the success of the lecture given by a branch in Florida which writes: "We are especially grateful for the spiritual enlightenment and unity of purpose resulting from monthly inspirational meetings and study of assigned topics pertaining to church progress. We feel these helped greatly in preparing for our lecture. We had an overflow crowd that necessitated the providing of many additional seats. It was undoubtedly one of the largest audiences ever gathered to hear a Christian Science lecture in our city. Our greatest joy was to see some of our townspeople attend for the first time."

From a church in San Francisco comes this report: "We have given three lectures during the past year with capacity attendance. We have found that Saturday afternoon lectures bring out many who could not attend evening lectures. For the first time in several years we gave a lecture in our local theater using publicity based upon new advertising information from The Mother Church. The advertisements did not appear until the night before and the morning of the lecture. We placed large notices in two of the leading daily newspapers. The audience filled the theater to overflowing, and we have evidence that people came from some distance outside the city."
