Scientist, in Boston, Mass, from the
time the church was built until his
appointment as member of the board

students. and by reason of the positions
he has held has been intimately con-
nected with her in working for the
cause of Christian Science.
These lectures are provided for the
purpose of removing the prejudiees
existing against Christian Science and

Eddy, and which are caused by igno-
rance, misunderstanding, or misre-
presentation, and the Christian Scien-
fists of this city cordially invite all who
desire to receive information on the
subject from one qualified and author
lied to speak, to attend this lecture.
The following is taken from Mr..
Eradap;oL n;vonsc aooo1nt of I,dma
Hanna's lecture, at Queens Hall,
London, Eng, copied mere from the
Christian Science Sentinel of June 18th
1904:
"With exception of the Albert Hall,
which for the purpose of lecture is
quite unsuited, the Queens Hall is the
largest in London; and when at half
past eight o'clock on the twelfth of May
the great organ suddenly ceased to
peal, and Judge Hanna, closely fol-
lowed by Mr.. Haworth- Booth, walked
across the platform, the audience broke
into applause. In few simple but ad-
mirable sentences Mr. Haworth- Booth
presented the speaker.
Judge Hanna rose, amidst a renewed
burst of applause. He stood for al
moment behind the low bank of flowers
skirting the platform, the tiers of the
orchestra crowed with Christian
Scientists rising in semi-circle behind
him; then facing towards the vast
audience which had come from every
part of London to learn something of
what Christian Science is, he spoke.
For an hour and twenty minutes, in
hush broken only by the rising and
falling of his own voice, he worked out
his argument. Once when in speaking
of sickness he declared that if God sent
sickness to draw us nearer to Him,
the sicker we were the better, the hush
was broken by sudden wave of
laughter Except fol this the audience
followed with intensely silent and
eager attention as he explained the
church tenets, as he spoke lovingly and
of Mrs. Eddy, the Leader of
this movement, and as, quoting copious-
ly from the Bible, he showed how Jesus
had made healing the Jest of the under
standing of his Gospel. And, 10, am
with you alway, even unto the end of
the world.
Looking out over the sea of faces at
this moment, the effect was almost
startling it seemed as if every one had
bent forward in fear lest some word
might escape.
Then in quick succession came the
.enalysis of sickness as the result of
human error, the explanation of its
cause and of the method by which it
could be healed.
In another minute the people were
pouring out into the night, carrying
with them through the streets of the
great city the words which in sickness
and sorrow will ever have new mean
ing, And, 10, | am with you alway, |
even unto the end Of the world -
