| WAS A FORMER INDIANIAN. ' Clarence A. Buskirk Made an Address on Christian Science. 1 Concord, X. H.—The beautiful Christian Science temple, the home of the First Church of Christ, Scientist of this city, and a gift of Mary Gaker Eddy to the Christian Science congregation of her home town, was well filli ed Sunday to listen to a lecture on 1 Christian Science by Hon. Clarence A. Buskirk, a former attorney-general of Indiana, now a member of the Chris- ! tian Science board of lectureship In the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. The speaker gave a clear exposition of the teachings of Christian Science and his words were given close attention. Judge James t W. Remic, in Introducing the speaker, » paid the following high tribute to 1 Mrs. Eddy, the discoverer and founrt- ' er of Christian Science, and for a number of years a citizen of Concord, and to our fellow citizen, Mr. Buskirk, formerly of Princeton, Ind.: “Ladies and gentlemen: I am glad to stand here this evening in this beautiful temple, the gift of one of the world's most remarkable women to the cause to which she has devoted her life and in a sense to the city she loves, and standing here present a distinguished exponent of the religious philosophy known as Christian Science. Whatever may be said for or against this philosophy it has been accepted by hosts of men and women of the highest character and Intelligence and the sweetness of their lives is the best tribue to their religion. Certainly the ideal, that to be spiritually perfect Is to be spiritually well cannot but make for a nobler humanity and a better and happier world. We do not like to contemplate what the condition of society would be without the influence of the church in the various forms In which It is appealing to the human heart; but from the church as an institution and from religion in its dogmatic aspect, we are ever turning to the noble and inspiring example of the Christ. To think as he thought; to feel as he felt; to live as he loved; to pity as he pitied; to forgive as he forgave; In short to live as he lived; and if necessary to die as he died, for truth and justice is the sum total of religion, and that church, whatever its name and w r hatever its teaching, which does the most in years to come to make men in thought and deed like the Master will be the best in the church. The gentleman who will address you is a distinguished member of the profession, to which I happen to belong. He was at one time attor-ney-general of the great state of Indiana, and it is with pleasure that I now present Hon. Clarence A. Buskirk.” —.— o— —~ DETECTIVES TO MEET HERE.
