Cocoanut Grove, Fla. (Society).—Introducing Judge Frederick C. Hill, a Christian Science lecturer, to his audience, Mrs. Mabel Reed Hyzer said in part:—

When Peter and John stood before the "Beautiful gate of the temple," it is recorded that they were importuned by a beggar who was also physically infirm. And Peter responded to him, "Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee." Then he healed the beggar quickly and perfectly. Many others had passed the gate before Peter and John, but Peter's discernment of the weak one's real need, and his ability to supply that need, led to the beggar's great life-experience; and we read that he walked and leaped and praised God. In the world to-day there is indeed great need of Peter's gift to the weak one; and the rules of Christian Science, based on the teachings of Jesus, are making this gift available.

Most of us who have become Christian Scientists did so because we had need of physical healing. The application of Christian Science does heal; and I am grateful that I have abundantly experienced that healing. But physical healing is only one of the results of the correct practice of Christian Science. Its teachings bring all good into the lives of those who consistently pursue it, and its students welcome each opportunity to express their gratitude for it, and to share it with others.

Grand Rapids, Mich. (Second Church). — The following prefatory remarks were made by Luman A. Field at a Christian Science lecture by Dr. John M. Tutt: —

Since the time when Jesus, the great Physician, healed "all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people," earnest Christian men and women have been endeavoring to carry on this beneficent work. One of these noble Christian women was Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science. Mrs. Eddy was ever greatly interested in the healing of sickness, but her medical experiments convinced her that the healing power was not in matter, and this fact impelled her to search for a more scientific system of healing. Her realization of the great need for a divine way wherewith to meet the ills of the flesh and to satisfy the heart's deep yearnings in times of stress, culminated in the discovery of Christian Science. Through the understanding and application of the laws of Life as divinely revealed to her, Mrs. Eddy quickly and unerringly healed all manner of sickness, performed many mighty works, curing even extreme cases of the drug habit. These practical results established the merits of her discovery, and revealed her as not only the greatest, but also the wisest and most compassionate physician the world has known since the days when Jesus, with unequaled power, healed the sick and sinning on the hillsides of Galilee. In "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mrs. Eddy has fully explained Christian Science, which heals sickness, reforms the sinner, and comforts the sorrowing. She also declared its world-wide availability when she wrote (Science and Health, p. 144), "When the Science of being is universally understood, every man will be his own physician, and Truth will be the universal panacea."

Stuttgart, Germany (First Church).—Karl G. Walker made the following remarks when introducing A. Hervey-Bathurst, a Christian Science lecturer, to his audience:—

Not only in the life of the individual, but also in the history of nations, there are periods of distress and turmoil. But such times serve to turn one to man's creator, God, and to his true being; and the true sense of the brotherhood of man logically follows. However, God is never the source of the evil which comes upon us, never the cause of these periods of stress. A child who has disobeyed his father's admonition not to touch a hot stove, and as a result, experiences pain, never considers the father the cause of the pain; he knows that it is the result of his own disobedience. Neither does the all-loving Lawgiver, God, punish or cause evil. "The enemy that sowed them is the devil," said our Master, Christ Jesus. Every violation of the divine law—that is, every sin—brings its own punishment; but "every good gift and every perfect gift" —all good, but no evil—"cometh down from the Father of lights." We attain the perception of these truths through the study of the Bible and the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. In this textbook Mrs. Eddy has laid down her discovery of Christian Science and its fundamental rules. The earnest, sincere study of this Christ-Science, and the application of its teachings in daily life, as we faithfully follow in the footsteps of our great Way-shower, Christ Jesus, free us from the bondage of all error, whether it be sin, sickness, or death, through the attainment of a correct understanding of God and His likeness, man; and will lead us into the "promised land" of true freedom, health, and happiness.

East Orange, N. J. (First Church). — Introducing John J. Flinn, a Christian Science lecturer, to his audience, Mrs. Idah E. Tracey said in part:—

God's relationship to man cannot be questioned. It is, as the Scriptures teach, "the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever." But mankind has permitted itseld to become indifferent regarding this great question of man's relationship to his heavenly Father; until it finds itself a discouraged, disappointed wanderer without chart or compass to guide it aright. But the Comforter, which was promised twenty centuries ago by our great Teacher and Way-shower, Jesus the Christ, has again appeared to human consciousness through the teachings of Christian Science, which is bringing the old-time message of "on earth peace, good will toward men," and revealing unmistakably man's right relationship with the one and only God, whom, to quote Mrs. Eddy's words (Science and Health, Pref., p. vii), "to know aright is Life eternal."

Kansas City, Mo. (Second Church). — Introducing Miss Lucia C. Coulson, a Christian Science lecturer, to her audience, Mrs. Aurel M. Hare spoke as follows:—

Christian Science is founded on the teachings of that greatest of all our textbooks,—the Holy Bible. It is the same old and loved religion taught, and not only taught, but lived, by our great Master, Christ Jesus. Mary Baker Eddy, the revered Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, was ever a willing disciple at the feet of the Master. No one knew better than Mrs. Eddy how this world needs Love; and from the Master she learned the lesson of Love, and also that other lesson which goes hand in hand with it,—the lesson of sharing. Do you not recall Jesus' words, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature;" and again, "Freely ye have received, freely give"? Mrs. Eddy has taught her students and followers not only the necessity, but the joy of sharing.

Chicago, Ill. (Eighth Church).— Introducing Paul Stark Seeley, a Christian Science lecturer, to his audience, George E. Belfry said in part:—

There comes to my thought a stanza from a poem, which runs:—

The fathers of our country experienced the glory of vision that the ancient prophets had participated in. They foresaw a government founded on equal rights, liberty of conscience, and freedom for all. Moses, the lawgiver and leader of the Israelites, talked with God upon the Mount, and received the inspiration which resulted in the compilation of the Ten Commandments, and his wonderful instructions to the people relating to their physical and spiritual welfare. All down through the ages men and women have resorted to these high places and received inspiration. Travelers have pictured and told of the beauty, loveliness, grandeur, and clearness of view from the mountain top,—above the so-called material universe.

Jesus, the great Master, resorted to the mountain top of vision. A description of one of his visits there will be found in the fifth chapter of Matthew. The result of his exalted thought was the wonderful Sermon on the Mount, which includes the Beatitudes. Jesus tells us, "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me." Is it not true? Christian Science, or a scientific, practical, or usable knowledge of God, is the outcome of a long visit to the mountain top.
