Reply to a Review of Judge Ewing's Lecture

Editor The Macon News.

In recent issues of The Macon News you published two replies by Rev. S.R. Maxwell to Judge Ewing's lecture on Christian Science which was given at the Academy of Music, January 16. The first reply, which appeared in the News January 17, was an effort at travesty; an effort to discredit through ridicule that which he could not answer through argument. The second reply, which appeared in the News January 20, was a more serious effort to discredit what Judge Ewing did say, which Mr. Maxwell virtually admits is unanswerable, by suggesting the things that he should have said.

The number and character of these replies can be partially explained on the ground that Mr. Maxwell had promised to review Judge Ewing's lecture before he knew what Judge Ewing was going to say; and it is only just to Mr. Maxwell, as well as fair to Judge Ewing and to the readers of the News, to state that Mr. Maxwell, on his own motion and responsibility, went so far as to have the advertising matter, announcing a reply to Judge Ewing, distributed in the lobby of the Academy of Music at the conclusion of the lecture.
