At Chillicothe, Ill.

Judge Ewing of Chicago, who is a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship, addressed a large audience in Matthews Hall, Sunday evening, January 7. He came up from Peoria on a special train which brought a large number of the leading citizens of that place to hear him speak on the religion he professes.

At a few minutes past eight Mr. I. T. Kahn stepped to the front of the platform and said:—

Before introducing the eminent gentleman who is to address you, I wish, in behalf of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, of this city, to express our heartfelt gratitude and pleasure in having you with us to-night; not only that you may participate in the opportunity of hearing one so well qualified to speak on this subject, but for the reason that it shows that the world is looking for a religion practical in its application.

You may never have thought of a fact, which was brought to my attention at a lecture which I heard a few days ago, and that fact is this: that no form of religion, philosophy, or system of teaching in the world to-day makes the promise of destroying the last enemy or bringing in the millennium according to the prophecies of the Scriptures with one exception, and that is the Christian Science religion as set forth in our text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker G. Eddy; and for this reason, if for no other, your closest attention should be given the speaker to-night and investigation follow at your leisure. The speaker for the evening is a gentleman of high attainments, having served as Judge of the Superior Court of Cook County for several years, and is a man of undoubted integrity and of untarnished character. He comes to us authorized for the work not only of promulgating the Truth, but of refuting the many misconceptions concerning this, the most important subject in the world to-day. The subject for this evening's lecture is "Christian Science, the Religion of Jesus Christ."

I now have the pleasure of introducing to you, the Hon. W. G. Ewing of Chicago.—Bulletin, Chillicothe, Ill.

At Springfield, Ill.

Judge William G. Ewing of Chicago lectured to a large audience at the Opera House last night (Tuesday, January 9) on Christian Science.

Judge Ewing was introduced by General Alfred Orendorff, who said:—

Ladies and Gentlemen:—When a committee in charge of this meeting requested me to introduce the speaker, I suggested the propriety of selecting a member of their society rather than an outsider, but when I learned that the speaker was not only a distinguished citizen of Illinois, but a cherished friend, that talisman touch of personal regard transformed what would have been a mere act of courtesy to a pleasant privilege.

To indulge in laudatory introductory remarks, however well deserved, is a custom more honored in the breach than the observance.

I have, however, concluded that it was as important that the audience should be introduced to the speaker as the speaker to the audience. With this view, Judge Ewing, I wish to say that the magnificent assemblage before you is fairly representative of the manhood. and womanhood of this community.

Our people are broad-minded, tolerant, and just. Lincoln's words fitly describe them: "With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives them to see the right."

They love the truth—the truth that makes men free— and follow wherever this imperial virtue leads. They firmly believe that in all contests with error, truth will ultimately prevail, and welcome a fair and free discussion of all mooted questions. To be a member of this audience carries with it no presumption of belief in your theories, but it does show a willingness on the part of all to hear with impartiality whatever is addressed to their intelligence. I shall not detain you longer from the oratorical treat that awaits you, and now take great pleasure in presenting Hon. W. G. Ewing, who will deliver a lecture on Christian Science.—Illinois State Register, Springfield, Ill.

At Burlington, Ia.

A very large and deeply interested audience gathered at the Grand Opera House last evening (Monday, January 8) to hear a lecture by Judge William G. Ewing of Chicago, upon the subject of "Christian Science, the Religion of Jesus Christ." The audience included a number of lawyers, doctors, ministers, and people of all classes and churches. The judge was introduced by Mr. A. M. Antrobus.

Mr. Antrobus Said:—

We have come here to listen to a discussion of the subject of Christian Science, by a gentleman who is eminent for his scholarly attainments, eminent as a lawyer and a judge, and earnest in his convictions. I am one of those who believe that any man who believes in a theory or a principle should be given a hearing, and anything which lays a claim to being of benefit to mankind should have free public discussion.

He briefly reviewed the history of religious beliefs, diseases, and the medical profession from the time of the most ancient known nation down to the present, and then introduced the speaker of the evening.

At Toledo, O.

On the last day of 1899 the Christian Scientists of Toledo invited their friends to listen to their semi-annual lecture on a subject of constantly increasing interest to them, "Christian Science, the Religion of Jesus Christ," delivered by one of their number, one who had for many years been in the thraldom of disease, and to whom, it is claimed, Christian Science had brought freedom. Fully seven hundred persons were present, regardless of the unpleasant, cold day.

The First Reader of the Toledo Church, and the pioneer of Christian Science in this city, Miss Sarah J. Clark, introduced the Hon. William G. Ewing of Chicago, ex-judge of the Superior Court of Chicago, and member of the International Board of Lectureship of the Mother Church of Christian Science in Boston, who spoke for nearly two hours.—Bee, Toledo, O.
