CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.

A free lecture on Christian Science will
be. given at the Jefferson theatre this
afternoon at $3.50 o'clock by the Rev.
William p. Mckenzie, C. S. =. OF Bos-
ton.
The lecture is given under the aus
pieces of the Christian Science church of
this city. These lectures are given by
the churches throughout the country and
by lecturers who, are regularly appointed
by the board Of lectureship OF the Mother
church in Boston, Mass, and approved
by Mrs. Eddy. The purpose in giving the
/ lectures is not with any thought of maxi
ing converts but simply with the desire
to present the cause of Christian Science,
its spiritual Interpretation of the Bible,
its healing work, cts, plainly and truth
fully before the public by one authorized
to speak upon the subject. These lectu-
rers are men and women who are ably
qualified from personal culture and from
years of experience in Christian Science
work to explain concisely and aceeptably
the great work that Christian Science is
doing throughout the world. So much
criticism and misrepresentation has APP
peared in the press against Christian Sci
ence., as well as against the leader of
the faith. Mrs. Eddy. that people in every
community have evinced great eagerness
to hear the truth upon the subject
whether they were specially interested
in Christian Science or not.
Rev William r. Mckenzie of Boston,
Mass. comes to this community especial
" prepared to speak upon this subject
He was graduated from Toronto univer-
sity in 1884 and in the following year was
war correspondent for the Toronto Mail
during the Riel rebellion. He then studied
for the ministry, graduated from Knox
Theological college and after post
graduate course at AUBURN Theological
seminary was ordained by the presby-
terry of Rochester, N. Y. After serving
In the ministry for four years. MIR. Nc
1lcnzie withdrew from the presbytery in
1897 to enter Christian Science work and
in 1898 was appointed trustee of the
Christian Science Publishing society and
a lecturer ON its board.
In the same year Mr.. Mckenzie had
the privilege of instruction from Mrs.
Eddy the discoverer and founder of
Christian Science. On this board OF lee
tureship are two women, one of whom
is a southern woman, Mrs, Livingston
Minis of Atlanta, who will be pleasantly
remembered for her beautiful lecture
given here last winter.
Carol Nathan we'll known writer,
has written very beautifully of woman's
work in its relation to Christian Science,
He saws: THE Vision Beautiful of the
twentieth century will be the new man
and the new woman, side by SIDE, at
work in the vineyard of Christ REFORM
ing the race, and revealing the Kingdom
of God among men," And after review
ing the work of many prominent women
of the century he writes: ITO the work
of the Rev Mary Baker Eddy, the dis
coverer and founder of Christian Science,
the cause of woman owes endless hom-
age and gratitude. To her, in a larger
sense than to any other woman, does hu-
manity owe everlasting thankfulness. To
praise her work is not to take away one
iota OF the luster that surrounds the
work of the noble and consecrated wo-'
men referred to; but il is to add glory to
the sex which she so grandly represents.
And again Mr.. Gallo says: The work OF
MIS- Eddy has opened to woman in the
ministry Of Christian Science the two
noblest of all associations, philanthropy
and medicine Through the understand
