Lecture by Bicknell Young, Of
Boston, at Opera Houee.

Bicknell Young, G. S. B., member
of the Christian Science Board of
Lectureship of The First Church Oh
Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass,
lectured at the opera house Friday
evening. A fair-sized and very atten-
tive audience heard him and were
very much pleased with his thoughts
and the happy way in which he car
ried his message to his hearers. Mr..
Young was introduced by Miss Carrie
Baughman, former First Reader, OF
The Christian Science church, who
said:
Ladies and Gentlemen: In behalf OF
First Church of Christ, Scientist, /
bid you welcome. When the lame man,
lying at the gate of the temple, called
Beautiful, asking aims of the people
was told by Peter, in the presence of
John, that in the name of Jesus Christ
to rise up and walk, his feet and an.
kle bones received strength and he
stood up and leaped and walked and
praised God. Peter explaining to the
amazed multitude that 1t was not by
their own power, this man was made
to walk, said "The God Of Abraham
and of Isaac, and of Jacob, and the
God of our fathers, hath glorified his
son Jesus" And his name, through
faith in his name. hath made this man
strong, whom we see and know; yea
the faith which is by him hath given
him this perfect soundness in the
presence of you ALL"
Eighteen years ago I was an incura
BILE cripple, unable to walk and par
TALLY blind, carried about seeking
help from every material source, but
in vain. Without hope and abandoned
to dispair. In this dire distress my
cry was that of the prophet, SIS there
no balm in Gilead. is there no physi.
clan there? Why then is not the
health Of the daughter of my people
recovered"
The teachings of Christian Science
dispelled this gloom and revealed the
healing balm, the healing Christ, for
God gave me perfect soundness'' and
| walked, and saw, and continue to
praise God. In the words of the
psalmist, HE sent His Word and
healed them, and delivered them from
their distinctions"
Our. Heavenly Father was found to
be the Great Physician, who is as
able and as willing to save his people
from sickness in this present time as
nineteen, centuries ago-verifying
Jesus words-"Ye shall know the
truth, and the truth shall make you
free" Gods arm, indeed, is not short
ened. His words have not passed
away, but remain for this and every
time. ....... .... H. +.
81 have no pleasure in the death Of
him that dieth, saith the Lord God
Wherefore, turn yourselves, and liv,
ye."
And Jesus said, II am come tina
they might have life, and that they
| might have it more abundantly.'
Scientific Christianity shows mar
to have recourse to the Divine from
all the woes which beset mortal exist
ence, that he can enter into Spiritual
Canaan, here and now, OH tnis very
earth, and find health, happiness
peace and rest beside the still waters
as indicated in our Lords Prayer
'Thy Kingdom come in earth as
it is in Heaven"
now have the pleasure of intro
lucing to you Mr.. Bicknell Young, OF
Chicago, member of the board of lee
tureship Of The First Church OF
Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass.
who will speak upon the subject O.
Christian Science.
