The Introduction.
NV friends:-Forty years ago there
was but one Christian Scientist-a
lone brave woman, the Discoverer,
Founder and Leader of this movement,
the Rev Mary Baker G. Eddy By
reason of a conscious recognition Of
the present nearness of a God of
health, Life and Love, this one Chris
tan Scientist had been healed in an
hour of extremity, of disease, suffering
and despair and prompted by a life
long desire to help her fellowmen, she
the spirit of life" which heals and
saves with those about ner and so in
structed and equipped them that they
in turn might share its blessing with
all mankind. Thus the Church Of
Christ, Scientist, was founded and be-
gan its mission of redemption, and to-
day the beneficiaries of Christian
Science are numbered by hundreds and
thousands.
To this end-tnat the world may at
least know the truth about Christian
Science. its application and effect
Mrs. Eddy has instituted Board Of
Lectureship, the members of which
are authorized to speak publicly on
this subject when requested so to 90
by the churches in different locali-
ties. The mission of these lecturers
is not to proselyte nor to convert to
a new denominatiolism, but is rather
to correct current misconceptions and
Misrepresentation of the teaching of
Christian Science; to enlighten, rather
than influence: to say to the suffering
nd ictr
is hope! Your loving Heavenly Father
and His Christ are here today to save
unto the uttermost."
The motive them of each member
of this Board of Lectureship is but an
echo of that loving effort first made
years ago and continued by Mrs. Eddy,
to freely share this gospel Of health
with all the world, that man may be
blessed and God glorified.
This gathering will mark the tenth
annual lecture provided the people of
this community by the First Church
of Christ. Scientist. of Walla walla,
and the representative of this Board
of Lectureship whom it is our pleasure
and privilege to have with us this
evening is especially qualified, not only
to present the truths of Christian Sci
ence. by reason of years of investi-
cation, application and proof, but also
to give personal testimony relative to
a Tod :,
Leader of this movement: as he has
lived for number of years in her
home city and come into FREQUENT as
ISOLATION with her as trusted stu
dent and valued friend.
1t is now my pleasure to introduce
to you the speaker of the evening,
the Rev. Irving c. Tomlinson. A. NJ.
c. S. B., of Concord, New Hamp-
shire.
The lecturer said in part:
If you were to ask members of this
new old religion. Wherefore your free
dom from all ills and your implicit:
trust in God for every need? Where
fore your willing sacrifices and yout
high endeavor in behalf of your Cause
they will tell you of the new hopes
new confidence, and new power that
have become their possession through
Christian Science; they gratefully say
that after having endured years OF
invalidism with its untold pain and
suffering, they find themselves fully
restored to health and liberty. Under
these circumstances, they ask, "Why
should not life be a psalm of Graft
tude?"
The Religion Of the Bible.
Preaching the gospel was one half OF
the Masters propaganda Healing the
sick with him was equally as import.
