HONGKONG JOCKEY CLU THE ISSUE AT TO-DAY'S MEETING:
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE. LECTURE AT THE CITY HALL
At the City Hall last, vyvning “Mr. Frank H. Leonard, C.S.B.. of Chicago, Member of the Board of Lectureship of The Mother Church, First Church of Christ, Scientist In Boston, Massachusetts, delivered a fros lecture on Christina: Scieno Mr. D. G. M. Bernard presided over the meeting.
The CHAIRMAN said! The purpose of this lecture is to present the subject of Christian Science correctly, and to bear testimony to the facts regarding the life and work of its Disowerer and Founder, Mary Baker Eddy. The keturer is Mr. Frank H. Leonard, C.S.B. of Chicago, Winois, a member of the Board of Lectureship of The Mother Church. The First Church of Christ Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts. When Christian Selene was first presented to me I found it diffenlt to understand and wondered how so many people could really beliera in what I thought it taught. But on closer investigation it became apparent to me that it was not Christian Science hut pry wrong conception of it that bad made it appear difficult, and I also learnt that the healing of sin and disease is the natural and legical effect of an under standing of the truth about God and man revealed in Christian Science. "I hope that the explanation of Christian Science this afternoon will enable you to gain a Pelearer" iden of what it 6, and why it is bringing health and happiness to the homes of a large and ever-growing main- her of people in the world to-day.
Mr. LEONARD in the course af his lecture said: Every one who has ever even heard of the teachings of the Bible wants to believe them true. There has never been a time in the history of the werk when there was greater need for proof of their truth than to day. Christ. fian Science stands more than any modern We understand that the resolution to teaching, ever has done as this proof.
