Have you considered???

Having a second lecture in English or Spanish?  Multiple lectures increase the awareness of Christian Science and strengthen the message to the community.  Have a second lecture for only $800.  Create a lecture series and have a third/fourth lecture for only $500 each.  Make a mental impact that will radically leaven the thought of your community.  I’d be happy to discuss a lecture series, talks to groups, university classes, organizing a Spanish lecture, etc.

Handle animal magnetism in your lecture planning!

Mrs. Eddy wrote the letter quoted below to Alfred Farlow.  I’ve found it invaluable in praying daily for lectures. 

“I request that you pray once everyday for the principal editors of the principal periodicals in your city and for the clergymen in your pulpits.  The lying influence sent forth to deceive our clergymen and our pressmen would, "if possible, deceive the very elect."  This must be met with a counteracting influence through prayer.  Let Truth be heard above error, and God will bless your efforts.  Jesus saith, "All things are possible to him who believeth."  Ask other members of your Church to do likewise, each day to pray as above, and pour in the truth that destroys the error."  Setting the Course p22,23

 

Alfred Farlow’s comment on another occasion reminds us how to handle apathy and opposition….

"The only way we can stand the test under fire of the opposition that is brought against us in these days is to cling to the Bible…. The Christian people of the country will stand by us if we stick to our Christianity." Ibid

Setting the Course: Alfred Farlow and the Mission of the Committee on Publication, published by the Committee on Publication 1993
