At Chicago, Ill.

Mr. Edward A. Kimball, C.S.D., delivered a lecture on Christian Science before a large and appreciative audience at the Universalist Church, Englewood, Monday evening, September 28. The lecture was given under the auspices of Fourth Church of Christ, Scientist, of Chicago. Mr. Le Noir White, First Reader, introduced Mr. Kimball, and said in part,—

John heard the teaching of Jesus and witnessed the works which accompanied it, and was filled with the desire to bring others into the same fellowship with God and his Christ to which he had attained. Christian Scientists feel as John did. Through the teachings of Christian Science, they know that they have found the life which Jesus came to reveal to humanity. Christian Science teaches that God is Life, and this understanding brings to pass the "signs following,"—the sick are healed, sin is destroyed, fear allayed, and the desire of men to find God meets fruition. Because Christian Science does bring to man the knowledge of God; because; it makes for a whole man,—for righteousness and health; because it is found to be a soereign remedy for every evil under which humanity suffers,—this is the reason why, like John, we desire to declare it unto you.

At Las Vegas, N. M.

A fair-sized and deeply interested audience listened to the eloquent address on Christian Science, delivered by Judge Septimus J. Hanna of Colorado Springs, September 4. The gentleman was introduced in an appropriate speech by Hon. George P. Money.—The Las Vegas Optic.

We extract the following paragraph from the introduction:—

Were I to be guided by my general reading in the newspapers and elsewhere, I should say that Christian Science has sprung into public teaching and dissemination for the purpose of antagonizing various other fixed creeds and doctrines, and especially in those who know nothing of it, but from reading the official organ of the sect itself, and the expressions, thoughts, principles, and teachings therein, and from conversations with Christian Scientists themselves, all of which have been casual and desultory enough, I am frank to say, I am of the opinion that their aim is to investigate and understand the Scriptures and follow the teachings, but the lowly Nazarene, not in theory or in a few things, but in practice and in all things. As far as I am able to judge from my imperfect understanding, I believe they are what they call themselves,—Christian Scientists, taking the name according to its original derivation,—Christian, of Christ or pertaining to Christ; Scientist, from the Latin scire to know, knowledge,—therefore Christ-knowledge, not an imagined, conjured, guessed, nor conjectured Christ, but a known Christ.

At Ottawa, Ill.

Never in the history of the world has more attention been given to religious matters and to the study of spiritual truth than at the present time. Beginning with the Congress of Religions at the World's Fair in 1893, the closing years of the nineteenth century were notable for the thought that has been given to the study of the moral and spiritual nature of man.

No branch of religious thought in all that time has made more appreciable progess than have the doctrines of Christian Science. Its propaganda is widespread and vigorous. It has drawn to its standard many men and women representing the highest types of both mentality and morality.

This was illustrated by the audience that assembled at Farrell's Theatre last Thursday night [October 1] to listen to the lecture by Carol Norton. It represented much of the very best in the thought and living of this community.

At Roxbury, Mass.

Mrs. Sue Harper Mims, C.S.D., of Atlanta, Ga., delivered a lecture on "The Spiritual Dominion of Man through Scientific Christianity, the Religion of the Future," in Fauntleroy Hall, Tuesday evening, October 6, under the auspices of First Church of Christ, Scientist, to an audience which taxed the seating capacity of the hall to the utmost. It was estimated that there were upwards of eight hundred people, and that at least two thirds of these were representative citizens, who are not as yet identified with Christian Science. The lecture was listened to with marked attention and interest throughout. The speaker was introduced by Willis F. Gross, First Reader of the Roxbury Church, who spoke in part as follows:—

As Christian Scientists we have a reason for our faith; a reason which is not founded on the sand of human speculation but on the enduring rock of practical results, and it is the privilege of every man to know for himself whether Christian Science is of God. Christian Science has healed the sick after all material remedies had failed and the physician said there was no hope. It has broken the shackles of sin and made man free. It has given joy for sorrow, hope for despair; lifted heavy burdens and dispelled the gloom of the darkest night. What Christian Science has done for the many thousands of its loyal and loving adherents it can do for all mankind; yea, even greater blessings are in store, for God's goodness is infinite and His love universal.—Correspondence.

At Toledo, O.

About eleven hundred people greeted Judge William G. Ewing at the Valentine yesterday afternoon [October 4]. His lecture, "Christian Science: a Religion of Works," was handled in a way that must have appealed to every one present, and the simple yet kind way of showing that Christian Scientists believe in and worship the same God and the same Saviour as other Christian denominations was most impressive. He was introduced by Clarence B. Hadden, attorney-at-law, who said in part,—

But few words are needed these days to introduce a lecturer on the subject of Christian Science. It is now widely known of men, and wherever understood it leads to life and happiness.

The Science of God goes forward with marvelous rapidity, healing the sick, purifying the sinful, and blessing mankind through the power of divine Love and Truth, as exemplified in the teachings of our Saviour.

Hundreds of thousands of people have been benefited and are testifying daily of the change wrought in their lives by a knowledge and application of this wonderful, yet simple religion to their daily problems.—The Toledo Times.
