At Los Angeles, Cal.

After ten days of cloudy weather, and almost steady rain, Sunday morning, February 10, dawned bright and clear. By noon not a trace of cloud was to be seen in the sky. First and Second Churches of Christ, Scientist, had united in calling Dr. A. A. Sulcer, C.S.B., of Riverside, Cal., to lecture at Los Angeles in the afternoon. An audience of eighteen hundred just comfortably filled the large auditorium, and listened with evident interest during the entire hour and twenty minutes that the lecturer was speaking.

The Los Angeles Herald gave the following account of the lecture:—

Yesterday afternoon at three o'clock an immense audience of citizens of Los Angeles, Riverside, Pasadena, and other Southern California cities and towns gathered at Simpson Auditorium to hear an interesting exposition of the theory and practice of Christian Science by Dr. Abraham A. Sulcer, C.S.B., of Riverside, Cal. The doctor for twenty-seven years practised medicine in the allopathic school at Riverside. Seven years ago he abandoned the regular practice of medicine and began the study and practice of Christian Science. Dr. Sulcer is a member of the Board of Lectureship of the Christian Science Church.

The people began to fill the building at two o'clock. Dr. Sulcer stepped on the platform at exactly three o'clock. He was accompanied by A. H. Naftzger, president of the Fruit Exchange, who introduced the lecturer in a brief address, saying:—

"Ladies and Gentlemen:—The invitation extended to me by the lecturer of the hour to say an introductory word was due to the kindness of his heart, and not to my relation to the cause, since my understanding of the doctrines of Christian Science is not such as to entitle me to be denominated a Scientist. I trust that what I lack in an understanding of it is more than made good in my admiration of the fruits of the doctrine as exemplified in the uplifting and inspiring lives of Scientists whom I have known.

"It may well be said that religion in its objective phase is a matter of interpretation; subjectively it is a matter of experience. However little we may know of the theories of Christian Science, many of us have witnessed such demonstrations of its benefits as to win our esteem.

"It comes, as I understand it, with a great note of hope to those who are in doubt and discouragement; it promises relief from sickness and redemption from sin; to chase the lines of care from the face, and by the supreme mastery of love to dispel the torment of fear. Whatever will achieve these things challenges our instant attention. Your presence here this afternoon is the best proof of your willingness to lend a patient ear to what the lecturer may say of this new thought.

"My first acquaintance with the lecturer, years ago, was when he was engaged actively in the practice of what I believe he sincerely thought was the true healing art. With equal conscientiousness he will tell you now what he believes to be a better way, and I am sure that you will listen attentively and without prejudice from hereditary or acquired opinions. None of us will fear to think or express an honest thought. I take pleasure in introducing to you Dr. A. A. Sulcer, C.S.B., of Riverside, Cal." Correspondence.

At Ann Arbor, Mich.

Judge William G. Ewing of Chicago lectured here Sunday (February 17), before a large audience in the Athens Theatre, on the subject of Christian Science.

Despite the inclemency of the weather, every seat on the lower floor was filled and a number were standing. The Law Department of the State University was well represented.

The speaker was introduced by Capt. William K. Childs who spoke in part as follows:—

Ladies and Gentlemen:—At this time, more than at any other in the history of civilization, men and women of learning are searching after knowledge and truth in religion, as well as in science. And now it may be said we are upon the threshold of that time mentioned in prophecy when "the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." We are coming to understand that there is no conflict between true religion and science.

I doubt not that many of you here this afternoon, like myself, are investigators of the truths of Christian Science, with an honest purpose for good. At this time we are unusually fortunate, as we are to listen to an address from one who is known through the length and breadth of the whole land; a man who having risen to high positions of trust and honor as jurist and judge, is now devoting his time and bright genius to the advancement of the truths of Christian Science.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have the honor and pleasure of introducing to you Judge William G. Ewing of Chicago, who will address you upon the subject of Christian Science.
