of the Board of Lectureship of the
Mother Church, the First Church of
Christ, Scientist, of Boston, Mass,
lecture on Christian Science, the
Coliseum being well filled when Miss
Luella Shaffer introduced the speak
er of the evening.
THE subject of Christian Sci
ence" Miss Shaffer explained in her
Introductory remarks, sis occupying
the attention of thinking people
throughout the civilized world today
as it has never done before, simply
for the reason that it is meeting
the worlds great needs in health
and in sickness by revealing again
to humanity the divine Principle
which lay at the back of what are
termed miracles in Bible history.
The Bible abounds in promises of
healing, of deliverance, of protec-
ton and of blessing, yet mankind
in general finds itself i'll or in bond
age to numerous beliefs and limita
tons, or again there is so much
fear of all sorts of things, and from
all of which people can be delivered
if they accept these promises as
true.
Christian Science not only teach
es an abiding faith and trust in
Gods promises and laws, but also
demonstrates and proves them, for
they are Interchangeable and enduring
and are the same yesterday, today,
and forever. And its students are
receiving so many blessings from its
teachings that they desire to spread
this good news among their fellow
men; so a Board Of Lectureship of
the Mother Church, the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, in Bos-
ton, was provided. And it is our
privilege to have with US tonight
a member of this Board, who will
lecture under the auspices of the
Christian Science Society of Fair
banks. l take great pleasure in in

Mr. Ohrenstein's Address.
Probably no idea has taken pos
session of the human thought during
recent years like that of the need Of
preparedness, safety, and efficiency;
and certainly these factors are in
dispensable for achievement or sue
cess of any kind. Every activity is
spurred by this idea. The home, the
school, the playground, the factory,
the ofice,-all are afame with it.
Preparedness, safety, efficiency may
be said to be inscribed upon the
mental banner leading all endeavor.
Now, let US look over history, and
find its best prepared, safest, most
efficient character. Instantly, what
name comes to the thought of all?
Just one; the name of him who was
indeed EARNED and well prepared
armed with the sword that was the
destruction of every i'll, every hard
ship, every ~wrong,-the sword of
Truth that meant life, freedom,
peace, to every living thing, peace
in all trials, all circumstances,
peace that still passes mere human
understanding; the name of one who
upon sea and land, in turmoil,
storm, stress, in contact with de-
pravity, contagion, sickness, calami-
ty, death demonstrated perfect safe
ty and immunity; the name of one
who assuaged all sorrows,. healed all
diseases, dispelled all sins, fed null. !
titudes, stilled storms, raised the
dying and the dead the name of
one whose one-to his enemies
seeming failure was but the fore
runner of the browning achievement
of all eficiency,-the achievement
of the resurrection and ascension.

immortality. Would not all in sa-
cred reverence breathe just this one
name, the name Jesus of Nazareth.
Jesus the Christ?
