Mr. Carol Norton, C.S.D., of New York, member of the International Board of Lectureship of the Mother Church of Boston, Mass., delivered a lecture upon Christian Science at the Empire Theatre, Tuesday evening, April 11, before a crowded house. Mr. Norton is one of the several Christian Science lecturers sent out by the Mother Church, his territory being the northeastern portion of the country. The object of his lecture was to present the subject in its proper light and to correct the many erroneous impressions and misrepresentations regarding it.

Mary Baker G. Eddy of Concord, N. H., is the Founder of Christian Science, and the Bible, as interpreted by her, forms the basis of all lectures upon the subject by members of the faith. It was in 1879 that this church was established, and since then it has acquired a following of one million in the United States. A church costing one hundred thousand dollars is being erected in Chicago by followers of this belief, and many other buildings of even greater cost are owned by them throughout the country.

In this city there are over one hundred members and they are now preparing to erect a church on the southeast corner of Quail Street and Madison Avenue, the lot having been purchased for five thousand dollars. The chapel, which will be begun this summer, will cost forty-five hundred dollars and within a year or two a twenty-thousand-dollar church will be erected next to the chapel.
