a large audience at the high school
auditorium The lecturer was intro
duced by Mrs. Agnes Julian, Second
Reader of the local church, who said:
Friends:
on behalf of FYcst Church of
Christ. Scientist. this City, bid you
welcome, and it will be our privilege
this evening to hear a lecture on
Christian Science. The Truth That
Heals.
A demonstrable knowledge OF this
healing Christ Truth, or law of God,
is now available to all mankind and
can be obtained through the study
Of the Christian Science text book,
Science and Health with Key to The
Scriptures. This Key which reveals
the spiritual import of the Bible, is
The Key which enables us to overcome
evil or devil thereby giving mo-
mentum to that millenial stage of
spiritual Advancement mentioned in
Isaiah
The wolf shall dwell with the lamb.
And the leopard shall lie down
with the kid:
And the calf and the young lion. and
the failing together;
And little child shall lead them"
Our lecturer is member OF the
Board OF Lectureship OF The Mother
Church, The First Church OF Christ,
Scientist, in Boston. Mass. Mrs.
Blanche K. Corby. c. s. b. OF Los
Angeles. Calf, viii now address
you."
The lecturer spoke substantially as
follows:
''The time for thinkers has come
writes Mrs. Eddy I'm the preface of
her great work. Science and Health
with Key to til. Scriptures" In the
recorded history Of man, there has
never been .dch intense thinking on
things spiritual and religious as there
10 today Adv inced thinkers are
realizing that the world can never
be rebuilt from the old basis Of
materiality and continue in state
anything short of anarchy; and that
a true constructive league can be
founded only upon the basis OF
spiritual regeneration. Consequently
there are more people seeking sim
cerely and earnestly for a knowledge
OF the truth than ever before. The
old theological concepts and philo-
sophical theories no longer answer
an inquiring people; the demand to-
day is for proof or demonstrated
evidence. Wherever lectures on
Christian Science are given, large
numbers congregate in the hope OF
hearing something helpful, some-
thing usable in the nature of religion.
A Christian Science lecture is not
for the purpose Of PROSECUTING or OF
urging Christian Science upon the un-
willing; it is simply to give to en-
quirers better understanding OF GOO
and his relation to man. Christian
Science. known to the world only
little more than fifty years, has had
1an unprecedented growth. The ma
iority Of Its adherents have peen
healed of sickness or saved from
wretchednesS and despair. Its great
ranks are largely made up of those
who have been compelled to turn TO
God for aid when all other means
have failed. Few people turn to God
for daily and hourly help in times OF
adversity until all material means
have proved unavailing. Man has not
believed that God is an available and
immediate help under all conditions,
bur those who have been denied all
hope of healing, from the popular
systems, those who have suffered
discouragement and who despair WIN
the poor comfort OF expected dealh
as a release, and who at last nave
turned to Christian Science and have
"a,
health and happiness, rejoice in the
conviction that Christian Science is
the revelation Of truth to which Jesus
referred when he said, "Ye shall
know the truth and the truth shall
make YOU free" When one is made
free through the demonstration OF the
truth, he is free indeed because Coo
is the liberator. God has revealed
himself to man whenever man mas
been in greatest need OF dellyerallce.
4 savior has always appeared 30 hn-
n7anitv when there was the greatest
need for a. savior: always the need is
rnr deliyerance from the evils of ma
terial sense, and the efforts OF those
great men and women who saw the
necessity Of replacing materialism py
eniritual regeneration have made i'm
mortal history.
Every thinking person in this audi
ence is conscious OF the existence OF
things. He knows also that all tnlnss
to exist must have cause, government,
and law, and consequently that there
IN the truth about all existing things.
