Lectureship of The Mother Church,
The First Church of Christ, Scien-

lecture in the Y. NJ c. A. auditor
ium on Friday night, his subject be-
ing, Christian Science: What It Is
and How It Heals"
During his address, which was de
livered before a large audience, Mr..
Davis gave the following definition
of Christian Science, taken from the
book of its Discoverer and Founder,
Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, "The First
Church of Christ, Scientist, and Mis-
cellany," in which she wrote: "To
live so as to keep human conscious
ness in constant relation with the
divine, the spiritual, and the eternal,
is to individualize infinite power;
and this is Christian Science"
Christian Science then" con-
cluded Mr.. Davis, "is a method of
living; it is that law of God which
enables us so to live our human
lives that we may express the Christ
and thus demonstrate divine power
in individual human experience"
