The Lectures

with contributions from Whittier, Daniel W. Jones

At Minneapolis, Minn.

Edward A. Kimball, C.S.D., of Chicago, delivered an address on Christian Science at the Metropolitan Theatre yesterday afternoon (Sunday, January 6) under the auspices of First Church of Christ, Scientist, of Minneapolis. The theatre was crowded, and the address was an interesting one and well worth hearing, even to the uninitiated. Mr. Kimball is a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship. His address yesterday received marked attention throughout. It was interesting, instructive, and to the point.

Mr. Kimball gave a clear exposition of the postulates of the faith in which he is a firm believer. The power of Mind over matter was the keynote of the address. Christian Science, he stated, was an actual, demonstrable Science, and one that had withstood every test during its comparatively brief history. He declared that every known disease had been cured in hundreds of instances by the aid of Christian Science; on the other hand, materia medica admitted there were many incurable diseases.

"Christian Science," said Mr. Kimball, "penetrates every nook in every walk of life, and is the most practical thing that has touched the consciousness of any age."

The speaker was introduced by W. G. Hollis, chariman of the board of trustees of First Church of Christ, Scientist, of Minneapolis, who referred to Mr. Kimball as "a living witness to the power of God to heal the sick through the understanding of divine Love, as taught in Christian Science."—Minneapolis Times.

At Little Rock, Ark.

An appreciative audience met in Concordia Hall, Tuesday, December 18, to hear a lecture by Judge William G. Ewing on Christian Science. All we have heard from were delighted with his presentation of the subject.

Governor Daniel W. Jones of Arkansas introduced the lecturer with the following remarks:—

Ladies and Gentlemen:—On the question of Christian Science, I will confess myself to be an agnostic. I do not profess to believe in it or disbelieve in it, because I know nothing about it, but I have come here, possibly like some of you, for the purpose of learning something about it. Among our people, we are always willing to listen to any man of intelligence who may wish to present what he thinks is true, consequently it is a great pleasure for me to introduce to you a gentleman of high character and whose integrity warrants me in saying to you that you will have a good talk, and no doubt we shall all learn something more than we have known. I believe, so far as I am concerned, I shall know more about this matter than I have ever known before. I know that you, as citizens of Little Rock, as it is customary to do, will give your most profound attention to this gentleman, and I therefore have the pleasure of introducing to you Judge William G. Ewing of Chicago.—Correspondence.

Lectures at Other Places.

Oklahoma City, Okla.—William G. Ewing, November 26.

Shamed be the hands that idly fold,
And lips that woo the reed's accord,
When laggard Time the hour has tolled
For true with false and new with old
To fight the battles of the Lord!

Whittier.
