The Lectures

with contributions from Emily L. Cameron, Ethel A. A. Anderson, Milton J. Stickles

Denver, Colo. (First Church).—Mrs. Emily L. Cameron, introducing Ezra W. Palmer, a Christian Science lecturer, said in part:—

One of our greatest needs is to understand the true relation of giving and receiving, and one of our lecturers aptly puts it when he says, "Our capacity to receive depends upon our capacity to give." No grace is so potent in proving this as gratitude. Gratitude heals stubbornness, criticism, faultfinding, all manner of disease. It rouses the dormand understanding to spiritual activity, and spontaneously opens the door of our thoughts to the sunshine of God's love.

Cheltenham, England (Society).—When introducing George Shaw Cook, a Christian Science lecturer, Mrs. Ethel A. A. Anderson said in part:—

I know the blessing Christian Science has been to me, and to those who study and practice its teachings conscientiously. It is proving to us that the promises of the Bible are true, that God is the healer of all our diseases, that God "sent his word, and healed them." When troubles, worries, pains, and fears seem at times almost to overwhelm us, it shows us how to rise above them, and to look to God, who is "a very present help in trouble." It gives us a greater desire to strive more and more for the divine Mind, the Mind of Christ. It is giving us a peace that certainly passes human understanding.

Red Wing, Minn. (First Church).—Milton J. Stickles, introducing Frank H. Leonard, a Christian Science lecturer, made the following remarks:—

The world to-day is in a turmoil of uncertainty. Men are floundering about, knowing not which way to turn. Like our forefathers of old they are slaves unto the Pharaohs of business, of despondency, of uncertainty, of sickness, of fear. And like our forefathers they turn to God, in their extremity begging Him for help, entreating Him for mercy, declaring their faith in Him, yet doubtful of His help. We have the promise, "He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also." Here, indeed, is hope for the tired heart; for did not Jesus heal the sick, give sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, and did he not cast out the devils of mental torment? Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, believed these promises true. She termed her discovery the Science of Christianity, or Christian Science. It teaches us the truth about the Bible, and becomes the cloud of smoke and pillar of fire leading us through the wilderness out of the land of the Pharaohs.
