Durango, Colo, was well attended by
an appreciative audience of about 800
people. there being quite a number
present from Silverton and other ad-
joining towns. The speaker. Mr.. Bick-
nell Young OF Chicago, ILL.,, was in
troduced by Solon w. Pingrey. who
said in part:
Il grant that 1t Is pretty generally
understood that the First Church of
Christ Scientist of Boston. Mass.
maintains a lecture bureau; this bu-
reau selects each year certain num-
ber OF ladies and gentlemen who con-
stitute this board of lectureship, who,
when called for by the Science church
es and societies throughout this and
other countries. go from place 10 place
and explain to the people what Chris
tlan Science is and what it is doing
for the world today.
To-day Is big with prospects for
Science, and they welcome all to their
lectures, which are free to all, and |
hope and believe that all present to-
night will find that 1t is the old, old
religious faith of our Lord and Saw
iour, only better understood and dem
onstrated than heretofore by His fol
lowers
MIR. Young explained that all peo-
pie, every man, woman and child in
the world believed In some first cause
or creator. or God, but the fact re-
mained that our very existence abso-
lutely demands cause and that this
cause or God is mind the one mind
intelligence, spirit of the universe;
that our believing anything about God
IL could change arithmetic. Truth
could not be changed, and man is be
gining to see that 1t is not God that
has changed, but man.
He went on to show very convinc-
ngly that If we think in harmony
| with God that we will manifest har-
mony and health and happiness In
our lives and that is where Christian
| Scientists differ from other societies
Is that they demand demonstration OF
| every statement, everything must be
proven. They believe that Jesus act
ed in accordance with law; not in
contravention OF it. Regarding the
recent attacks on Mary Baker G. Eddy
the dlscoverer of Christian Science
Mr.. Young states that he had had the
privilege of visiting Mrs. Eddy in her
home within the past fortnight; that
she is in good health and not at all
disturbed by the attacks made upon
her. She is certainly sane and he
would feel it impertinence on his par
10 compliment Mrs. Eddy. Her work
shows for Itself.
Mr.. Young lectures in Telluride to
night.
