William F. Gross Lectures
On Christian Science,
Its True Import
SAYS SUGGESTION
is COUNTERFEIT

christian Science: The True Inn
port OF the word was the subject
OF a lecture by Willis +. Gross.
member OF the Board OF Lecture
ship OF the Mother Church. the First
Church, OF Christ Scientist. in Bos-
ton. delivered'in the Majestic Thea
tire yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Gross
said In part.
The greatest spiritual awaken
ing OF recent centuries began with
the discovery OF Christian Science a
little more than a half century ago.
This awakening has increased in
strength and momentum with every
passing year. The light has never
waned and there has never been a
time when there was the slightest
evidence OF decreasing interest In
this new-old teaching OF the Christ
Mary Baker Eddy. the acknowl-
edged leader Of the Christian Sci
ence movement, was a woman Of ex-
emplary character: a devout Chris
tian from early childhood and a
faithful friend OF humanity. re.
spected and loved by all who knew
her. Like other great reformers
Mrs. Eddy had been carefully In.
structed according 70 the highes
and best spiritual thought Of th'
age, and she was faithful In her en-
deavor TO put into practice III
teachings OF Holy Writ. The life o
Jesus as IL was portrayed In tn
Scriptures was her ideal and she be
lieyed that Il is possible for men q
follow his example even to the cx
tent OF doing tho healing work
which he declared would be don
by all who understand his doctrine
Repeated attempts have bee
: made 10 show that some one othe
than Mrs. Eddy discovered Christian
