FROM DETROIT, MICHIGAN

Annie M. Knott

To the Editor Christian Science Weekly:—A lecture was given here by Mr. Kimball on the 24th of October, and the Theatre which had been secured for the occasion was not only crowded, but hundreds went away who were unable to find standing room.

The attention and interest manifested were such as we never see called out by anything less than this blessed Truth.

The following Sunday a local preacher was unwise enough to attack Christian Science—and as the papers gave this some attention, it was deemed proper to reply, and this was no difficult task, for we have the Bible on our side beyond all dispute. One charge was that so many delusions were started by women, but in an editorial in one of the daily papers the inconsistency of such a statement was shown and the remark made that the Christianity which the preacher himself professed began with the Magnificat.

With it all there is an ever-increasing interest in Christian Science, and attendance at the services.

The resident Scientists were both pleased and inspired by the grand lecture, and those who are not yet Scientists acknowledged themselves to be greatly benefited as well as enlightened by it.

So rolls on this mighty wave of resistless Truth, sweeping before it pride, prejudice and intolerance, error of every sort, and its Heaven-directed energies will also bring, are bringing now, all the good we seek when we pray, "Thy Kingdom come."—Annie M. Knott.
