| Ladies' and Gentlemen: / count 1t
. privilege and honor today to be
called upon to introduce to Florence
audience distinguished lecturer and
member of the Board of I.ectureship of
The First Church Of Christ Scientist
Of Boston. Judge Hanna is known to
most of you, perhaps, better than to
my self, but We shall all know him
better after hearing what he has to
say. 1t is not by looking at the face
Of man or by knowing what number
of shoe he wears that We come to
know him, but 1t is by learning what
is in his mind and heart 1t is by
adding to what one has been able to
achieve and become what he thinks he
ought to be and would like to become
get q tolerxbly fair estimate of what
one really is.
We have met today to hear ex-
pounded the principles advocated by
Judge Hanna and his colaborers OF
the Christian Science faith. We
have come as seekers after truth. If
the speaker has any new truth to give
us we want to hear it. The honest
man is not afraid to hear the truth.
Only the moral coward, the stickler
for party rather than liberty, fees
from the light of truth The Master
said "You shall know the truth and
the truth shall rake you Free"
want to be free; l want the truth,
ha C.ta L.
have ray of light that has not come
to me I want it. 1 am living for
time and eternity and can't afford to
live in blindness il some one can take
the scales from my eyes. Let US give
Chistian Science fair hearing. Let
us learn what it is aud weigh it in
the balance of revealed truth as laid
Gown in the Holy Scriptures and if i,
comes up to the requirements of all
the Word OF God let us accept it at
worthy, but il it be found wanting,
let US honorably and conscieutiously
reject it. Give everything fair ex-
animation, not hasty, but careful, and
do not condemn it because it is new
nor cling to it because it is old.
believe the day is coming wher
we shall welcome what is good ant
true from all sources and become on,
great. truth-lovipg, united body il
the Lord. ! believe the backbone OF
oreedism has been broken. The
day of liberty and union in Chris
draweth nigh. What quota of trntl
the church of Christian Science shall
contribute to this great lone faith
we shall see by and by. No doub
this body of people are calling the at
tention of the world to some thing
that have been overlooked. Let q.
hear them.

to you Judge Septimus J. Hanna OF
Colorado Springs who will address

phases and hint, as it were, at its
teachings, its aims and its purposes.

any ordinary subject, claiming to
