with contributions from A. F. Walch

That the subject of Christian Science is attracting the attention of many of our people was evidenced by the large number present Thursday evening, September 10, in Farwell Opera House to listen to an address by Judge William G. Ewing of Chicago, Ill. Frank B. Miller, Esq., introduced the speaker in a few appropriate words.

Ewing of Chicago, addressed them on the subject of Christian Science. The lecture was given under the auspices of First Church of Christ, Scientist, and was the first one given in this city. A special train brought one hundred and eighty Scientists from the Milwaukee churches. The speaker was introduced by Rev. George H. Spencer of the Baptist Church.

Carol Norton, C.S.D., of New York, gave an address in Music Hall, Sunday afternoon, September 13, which was well attended. The speaker was introduced by Rev. A. F. Walch, who spoke as follows:—

Friends and Fellow Christians:—I find myself most agreeably placed this afternoon. I am glad to stand in this presence and extend a hearty welcome to the distinguished speaker who is to address you, and to express my hearty good wishes to this organization. However we may differ in our individual opinions upon the great matters of faith and life, we are yet all hoping from the bottom of our hearts that our Christian Science friends may be right in their claim that they have discovered the way that shall lead to bodily as well as spiritual well-being. It is always well to be able to see the good in others, and to recognize that it is a God-given right to follow the dictates of reason and conscience. It is no longer considered a crime to think and to give honest expression to honest thought. I assume that you are honest in your thought and in your expression, and so I extend my congratulations upon the success of your great movement.

The Christian church has been a factor in the civilization of the world; it is still a factor in the development of human character, through the establishment of the kingdom of God in the earth. However, the church is not always alert to its largest use of opportunity.

It is always necessary that the church shall keep itself free from all hindrances and go forward to do a spiritual work for men and women. The Christian Science movement comes in the name of Christ and his Gospel to reveal that power which confessedly it now lacks, of reaching out the hand with Peter and bidding the sick to rise up and walk in the Master's name. It is therefore with pleasure that I present the speaker of the afternoon, Mr. Carol Norton of New York, who will address you upon the comprehensive topic: "Christian Science, the Gospel of Righteousness and of Health."—St. Johnsbury Caledonian.
