CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LECTURE
Frank n. Leonard Of Chicago Speaks
at High School Hall.

The lecture on Christian Science de
liyered by Frank H. Leonard, c. S b..
of Chicago Ill., in high school hall
Tuesday evening was listened to by
an intelligent and appreciatiye aud.
ience. The lecturer was introduced
by the first reader of Christian SCI
ence society, Bennington, Miss Fannie
( CarrielG
In speaking Of his own healing Mr..
Leonard said christian Science was
first brought to my attention in the
fall Of 1884 and under the following
circumstances. About half MY life up
to that time had been spent in bed. The
physicians all said ! had been born
Wth an incurable organic disease
and that it was improbable that
should live to reach manhood. Their
statements seemed about to be proved
true when, through a case of healing
Christian Science was brought into
our home This led to my having
Christian Science treatment, so sue
cessfully that three months later our
family physician said a miracle had
been performed and that | was abso-
lutely free from any physical disease
In speaking Of the teaching Of Chris
tan Science, Mr.. Leonard said,
christian Science unfolds TO Is stud
ents that knowledge Of God which
keeps one well mentally, morally, and
physically and shows that ignorance

through an endless, infinite vista Of
Christian idealism, God enthroned and
omnipotent, omnipresent and omnis
cient and the fact that one may in
tell gently call upon Him In any time
OF need, and always find Him right at
hand, ready to heal ana save. This
teaching brings God TO US as a real
presence. instead OF an ephemeral
hope, and 50 establishes the fact nor

Of the flesh, and will destroy all evils,

OF Mrs Eddy NJ Leonard said,
Mrs Eddy wrote Science and Health
W tn Key to the Scriptures as it was
revealed to her and though its teach
ings may seem hard OF acceptance,
because II overturnes and destroys all
manmade theories, yet does it bring

as time sinks into obscurity and the
glories OF the eternal God become as
