The Lectures

Introductions to Lectures

with contributions from George Shaw Cook, Alice Whyberg

Boston, Massachusetts (The Mother Church).

Lecturer: Professor Hermann S. Hering; introduced by George Shaw Cook, who said:—

Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, once sent the following message to a group of Christian Scientists: "You cannot know me in my personality, but in my books and my writings, and in my love for you and for all mankind." In her great love for mankind Mrs. Eddy established, and provided for the perpetuation of, The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts. Included in the many and varied activities of this church is The Christian Science Board of Lectureship, of which the speaker of the evening is a member. Because of his education and training, because of his long experience in the practice and teaching of Christian Science, and because of his personal acquaintance for many years with our Leader, he is especially well qualified to address us.

Grants Pass, Oregon (First Church).

Lecturer: Peter V. Ross; introduced by Mrs. Alice Whyberg, who said:—

Christian Science came into my life at a time when I was facing an operation for a grave physical disorder, the second within a year, and it was at this point that a Christian Science Sentinel was given me. I read and fairly devoured its promising contents. Amid a storm of protests I consulted a practitioner, and after a few treatments was completely healed of that ailment, feeling I had a new lease on life; for which I was deeply grateful. Two weeks later, while I was hungering to know more of this blessed truth, a friend and I were enabled to walk fourteen city blocks in a raging eastern blizzard to attend my first lecture on Christian Science. All traffic having been forced to stop, we silently and calmly wended our way undisturbed to the lecture. Upon reaching our destination we rejoiced to see a large assembly, who had, like us, overcome all obstacles to partake of the feast.
