noon' aud endcavorcd to correct what h,
termed misconception, false opinion.
and erroneous ideas concerning thy
Christian Science church. Judge smith
is very convincing speaker and he
held the attention Of the audience
throughout his address.
An interesting feature Of his address
was the tracing of the beginning and
growth of creeds, II was his contention
that the church first started with tho
teaching that there was but one divine
person, Later on the people were taught
that there were wcrc three divine pcr.
sons The Christian Science theory is
that God is force and this force can
he secured in certain ways. Discussing
miracles Of Jesus Christ, the speaker
stated that what may have seemed mir
aculoos to the people Of the times were
probably due to the force that now comes
through following the teachings of tho
Christian Science eharch.
Judge Smith discussed at some lcup.A
the erroneous opinions held by many
