We see brought out in our communl- 2 ties? As in Jesus time, so now there arc plenty of people who stand ready : as they think, to answer these ques- tions But as the answers walca the , saribes and Pharlsees gave the en- , quircrs as to Jesus and hls works were false and misleading In the cX- , tremo. so arc the critics explanations . of Christian Science. and It's power tc heal tho sick to-day And thls is one . of the reasons why the board of lee { turasdip, of the mother church In Boston. was established appointing . competent Christian Scientists to lee ture on this important subject in orr der that they may correct some of these evils, and give the public true conception of Christian Science, ant ts work. as far as It can be done in one or two lectures
