The new Christian Science Church,
Park Place and Van Buren streets.
was the scene of a large and in
terested gathering last night, when
the Rev. William P. Mckenzie, OF
Cambridge, Mass. member of the
Board of Lectureship, lec.ured on
Goods Friendship to Man. The new
Sunday school room, wnere the lee
ture was delivered, proved to be a
splendid auditorium, and the accu tic
properties we're found to be excep-
tionally good The lecture was de-
livered in very pleasing manner,
and the interest of the audi. nee was
evident. The President of the Church
Mr.. ID. w. Masters, introduced Mr..
Mckenzie, as follows:
"Friends We have come together
this evening for the purpose of ar
ing a lecture on Christ an Science,
and our presence would seem to n
dicate a desire for a better lno l.
edge of the subject and a vii g
ness to open our consciousness to the
possibility of ga ming a larger and
fuller understanding of God and our
relationship to Him.
Jesus said Except ye become as
little children, ye shall not en- er the
kingdom of heaven We remember
also, he took the little children in
His arms and blessed them. So, le.
rs endeavor tonight to attain unto
the simplicity OF thought of the ttle
children, and for an earnest des re
for all good seek without preiud ce,
to assimilate and utilize the great
truths that will be presented to us
this evening""
The following is a synopsis Of Mr..
McKenz e's lecture:
"The initiation of Christian Science
began with the proving OF Gods friend
ship by a Christian woman who exactly
and intimately realized what the
prophet Isaiah had declared regarding
the divine power; Hast thou not
known? Hast thou not heard, that the
everlasting God. the Lord, the Creator

neither is weary There is no searching
IF his understanding. He giveth power
% the faint; and to them that have no
might be increaseth strength
"When fainting down to the gate way
,f death Mrs. Eddy felt the impulse OF
Spirit which comes unseen like the
winds breath. She was impelled to turn
o the Scriptures, and guided to read the
story OF the healing OF the paralytic
man laid by his friends at Jesus feet;
and she was enabled TO realize that the
power then present to heal could not
,hange through me ages, nor be ever alb
sent Upon this power of God she re-
led for help. since all other aid was un-
availing; and God gave power to the
faint. and increased strength for her,

woman, but according to eternal law.
The Discoverer and Founder of Chris
tian Science first found her proof
within her own life. She found the
nexus between her experience and
those recorded in the Scriptures; and
thus to her consciousness was re-
vealed the law of God, the law of

''This was Christian Science. She
verified her discovery by proving to
others this law Of good She taught
pupils how to bless their fellowmen
by proving the law. AS the years

whole world the gospel, the good
news of Gods friendship to man, she
initiated the literature Of testimony

cord and relate the results Of Chris
tian Science. So we recognize the
era of Christianity practical. that

love which is the greatest of all.
Christian Science interprets the

teachings are like a compass TO a

From it he regains his sense of di-
