The Lectures

with contributions from Frank A. Moore, Cyrus Happy, Mr. Weinstock, Judge M. C. George, Joseph H. Budd, Jessie M. Stringham

At Reed's Opera House last evening (Thursday, March 8) a magnificent audience of Salem's best people greeted Hon. W. G. Ewing of Chicago, who, as one of the lecturers of the Christian Scientists, spoke on Christian Science. In the audience were Oregon's governor, the judges of the Supreme and Circuit Courts, state officials, and the leading public and professional men of the city. To say that they were all pleased with the address, whether they agreed with the speaker's views or not, is but a mild statement of their approval.

The lecturer was introduced by Hon. Frank A. Moore, Associate Justice of the Oregon Supreme Court, who presented his brother of the bar and bench in the following simple words:—

We live in a progressive age in which man's material development is largely measured by the degree in which he transcends his forefathers in knowledge, surpasses them in cheapening products by the selection and use of tools and machinery, and excels them in applying his time and energies to the accumulation of wealth. Such advancement is an evolution which, gradually unfolding as the years pass, leads on towards perfection, and shows that the material progress of a race depends upon the character and extent of the contributions made by it which conduce to the happiness and welfare of people, not enjoyed by their ancestors.
