We have a solemn responsibility to do what we can to further each activity of our great Cause. Mrs. Eddy realized the immeasurable good The Christian Science Board of Lectureship would bring to suffering humanity, and we today should never slacken our efforts to support this avenue of good by prayerful metaphysical work.
The truth being presented by the lecturer has its source in divine Mind and is thereby empowered by this Mind. No element of evil can affect its potency and immediacy. When we realize this in deep, persistent periods of prayer, seedlings of Truth from the lecture cannot be uprooted, snatched from hungering hearts, or caused to wither away.
The carnal, or mortal, mind would ever strive to stop the good going forth from each avenue of Christian Science. This is especially true in the case of lectures, which benefit so many new seekers for Christ, Truth. Some of the aggressive mental suggestions that need to be reversed in regard to this activity are that medical beliefs or old theology can oppose Truth; that the truth being expressed will not be remembered when the lecture is over; that apathy or indifference can destroy a desire to investigate Christian Science on the part of the newcomer; that distracting, material busyness will become more important than seeking a better understanding of what the lecturer has given.
