The Lectures

with contributions from H. J. Huntington, R. D. Stearns

An audience which considerably more than half filled the Green Bay Theatre listened attentively to the lecture delivered last night (Thursday, July 19) by ex—Judge William G. Ewing of Chicago, upon the subject, "Christian Science: the Religion of Jesus Christ."

The speaker was introduced by County Judge H. J. Huntington.—Green Bay Advocate.

The introductory address was as follows:—Fellow Citizens: —I have the honor of introducing to you to—night Judge William G. Ewing of Chicago, a man duly commissioned and abundantly able to speak for that large and fast growing organization, known to us as the Christian Science Church. A large number of us, I dare say, know little or nothing of Christian Science, and our ignorance is due to prejudice, I think, more than to all else. We hear exaggerated or erroneous statements of the doctrines held by its votaries, and at once decide the whole case against it, and will hear no more. As illustrative of the way we speak, it was only yesterday I heard one say of a case of death in a Christian Science family: "Why did they not cure that member?" I have never understood the Christian Science people to claim that the change we call death can always be averted. Let us be fair. We may demand too much in the way of evidence of the truth of their doctrine.
